In an unforgettable evening radiating with celestial beauty,
Camila and

Princess Cruises’ fleet. Set against a backdrop of vibrant lights and pulsating energy, the couple participated in a maritime tradition that has delighted generations. As they broke a bottle of their own
Pantalones Organic Tequila, they opened the door to new adventures for the ship, guests, and crew alike.
Hosted by the lively travel and lifestyle personality
Dawn McCoy, the ceremonial event took place in the magnificent Princess Arena aboard Star Princess. Guests were treated to inspiring speeches from

The Great Land.
In a heartfelt declaration, Camila and Matthew reflected, “It’s an honor to follow in the footsteps of past godparents. We are thrilled to share this moment with everyone who joins us onboard – creating memories and enjoying the vibrant allure of our Pantalones cocktails.” Their passion for life is beautifully mirrored in the ethos of Princess Cruises, enhancing the experience for travelers at sea.
