Setting Sail in Style: What Makes Star of the Seas Special

Why Diana Ross Was Chosen as Godmother
Why Diana Ross? Royal Caribbean selected her for her grace, talent, and legendary status—qualities that mirror the Star of the Seas itself. The tradition of naming a godmother stems from maritime history, symbolizing good luck and protection over the vessel and its passengers. With Diana Ross as its spiritual guide, this ship is destined for greatness.
