The McConaugheys will christen the cruise line’s most innovative ship, marking the next generation of cruising for the Carnival Corporation brand.
“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.”
The line said Camila and Matthew McConaughey, co-founders of Pantalones Organic Tequila, will bring their "dynamic spirit and creativity" to this time-honoured maritime tradition.
It added: "Together they exemplify the values of passion, generosity and innovation that resonate deeply with Princess Cruises."
Gus Antorcha, Princess Cruises president, said: “We are delighted to have Camila and Matthew McConaughey serve as the godparents of Star Princess.
"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.”
Across the fleet, Princess serves signature cocktails featuring Pantalones Organic Tequila, founded by the pair, including the guest favourite 24K Gold Margarita.
On 4 October, Star Princess will debut in the Mediterranean, sailing roundtrip from Barcelona before crossing the Atlantic to begin a season of Caribbean voyages from Ft Lauderdale on 7 November 2025.
Following its Caribbean season, Star Princess will sail through the Panama Canal heading west to begin its inaugural Alaska season. Star Princess voyages up to 2027 are now available to book.
