The celebrity couple will christen the new ship during a celebratory Naming Ceremony hosted by Princess Cruises in Fort Lauderdale on November 6.
The pair are carrying forward a tradition that has included cultural icons such as Princess Diana, Audrey Hepburn and Sophia Loren.
“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 4,300-guest Star Princess, sister to the award-winning Sun Princess, features 30 distinct dining and bar venues, curated entertainment and activity offerings, and luxurious accommodations across a wide range of categories.
Star Princess will debut in the Mediterranean on October 4, sailing roundtrip from Barcelona before crossing the Atlantic to begin a season of Caribbean voyages from Ft. Lauderdale on November 7.
Camila Alves McConaughey is an entrepreneur, NYT best-selling author and founder of Women of Today. Actor and author Matthew McConaughey is known for his award-winning performances, best-selling books and his off-screen philanthropic work.
“We are delighted to have Camila and Matthew McConaughey serve as the godparents of Star Princess,” said Gus Antorcha, Princess Cruises President.
“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.”
