Celebrities Camila and Matthew McConaughey headlined a star-studded event at the official christening of the newest and most innovative ship from Princess Cruises.

The couple are godparents to Star Princess and broke a celebratory bottle of Pantalones Organic Tequila to wish the ship, guests and crew good fortune on the seas.

The ceremony took place in the ship’s Princess Arena, where guests enjoyed an evening of tributes from Princess President Gus Antorcha and Star Princess Captain Gennaro Arma and live entertainment.

The celebration continued with a special performance by nine-time Grammy Award-winning singer songwriter Sheryl Crow.

To cap off the event, a drone show filled the sky paying tribute to Star Princess’ upcoming itinerary to Alaska.

“It’s an honour to follow in the footsteps of past godparents and welcome Star Princess into the Princess fleet,” said Camila and Matthew McConaughey.

“We are excited to share this moment with the guests who step aboard – coming together with family and friends, making new memories and sharing a Pantalones cocktail or two.”

The celebrity couple join an illustrious group of Princess Cruises godparents including Princess Diana, Catherine, Princess of Wales, Audrey Hepburn and Sophia Loren.

Star Princess is a stunning reflection of our legacy and our future – bringing together incredible design, exceptional experiences, and the spirit of discovery our guests love,” said Mr Antorcha.
