McConaugheys Named Godparents of Star Princess

Princess Cruises has announced that Camila and Matthew McConaughey will serve as the godparents of its newest ship, the Star Princess. The Hollywood couple will officially christen the 4,300-guest vessel, continuing a long tradition of iconic godparents that includes Princess Diana, Audrey Hepburn, and Sophia Loren.

In a joint statement, the McConaugheys said, “With Princess, it’s not just a vacation—it’s time well spent, families and friends coming together, meeting new folks and making memories. This ship’s got that spirit built right in, and we’re proud to be part of her story from the beginning.”

The couple, co-founders of Pantalones Organic Tequila, already have a connection to Princess Cruises through the line’s Love Line Premium Liquors program. Their tequila is featured in cocktails served across the fleet, including the signature 24K Gold Margarita.

The Star Princess will launch service on October 4, 2025, sailing roundtrip from Barcelona on a Mediterranean itinerary before making a transatlantic crossing. Beginning November 7, the ship will offer Caribbean voyages from Fort Lauderdale, followed by its inaugural Alaska season after transiting the Panama Canal.

Gus Antorcha, president of Princess Cruises, praised the choice of godparents, saying the McConaugheys’ “warmth, spirit, and dedication to giving back” make them ideal to christen the new ship. With their star power and shared values, the couple is expected to bring added excitement to the debut of Princess Cruises’ latest Sphere-class vessel.
