Camila & Matthew McConaughey named godparents of Star Princess

Princess Cruises has revealed that Camila and Matthew McConaughey will serve as godparents of the new Star Princess, carrying forward a tradition that has included cultural icons such as Princess Diana, Audrey Hepburn, and Sophia Loren.

The McConaugheys will christen the cruise line's new ship, marking the next generation of cruising for Princess.

"We're honoured to be godparents of the Star Princess," said Camila and Matthew McConaughey. "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."

Camila and Matthew McConaughey, co-founders of Pantalones Organic Tequila, “bring their dynamic spirit and creativity to this time-honored maritime tradition,” the company said.

“Together they exemplify the values of passion, generosity and innovation that resonate deeply with Princess Cruises.”

"We are delighted to have Camila and Matthew McConaughey serve as the godparents of Star Princess," said Gus Antorcha, Princess Cruises President, in a statement. "Their passion for life, dedication to giving back, and unmistakable charisma make them the perfect pair to christen our newest ship. With their signature warmth and spirit, Camila and Matthew embody the values that define Princess, and we are delighted to welcome them into our family in such a meaningful way."

On October 4, 2025, Star Princess will debut in the scenic Mediterranean, sailing roundtrip from Barcelona before crossing the Atlantic to begin a season of Caribbean voyages from Ft. Lauderdale on November 7, 2025.

Following her Caribbean season, she will sail through the Panama Canal heading west to begin her inaugural Alaska Season. 2025-, 2026- and 2027-Star Princess voyages are now available for booking.
