Diana Ross Named Godmother of Royal Caribbean's Star of the Seas

Diana Ross will be the godmother of Royal Caribbean’s newest ship, Star of the Seas.

The music icon will participate in a traditional naming ceremony in the ship’s AquaTheater ahead of its debut from Port Canaveral, Florida, in August. The cruise line says it will share more details about the celebration on its Instagram page. 

“We are thrilled to have Diana Ross join us for the debut of Star of the Seas, the next bold vacation in our revolutionary Icon Class designed to encompass the best a vacation experience can offer,” says Michael Bayley, president and chief executive officer of Royal Caribbean.

“We couldn’t imagine a more fitting godmother for Star than Diana Ross, who is a true icon known for creating music that transcends generations while celebrating life and bringing people together," Bayley continued. "We can’t wait to welcome Ms. Ross, our guests and crew to celebrate the arrival of Star this August.”

The ship will sail  7-night cruises to the Eastern and Western Caribbean, including the cruise line’s private destination, Perfect Day at CocoCay in the Bahamas.
