Libby Anschutz, the daughter of Windstar Cruises owner Phil Anschutz, was named Godmother of the cruise line’s first of two new all-suite yachts, the Star Seeker, on December 8, 2026. The official christening ceremony will take place in Miami on January 15, 2026.
In November 2025, Libby, alongside Windstar president Christopher Prelog, toured the shipyard.
On the viewing, per a press release, Libby said: “Seeing Star Seeker for the first time was an unforgettable experience—the design, warmth, and attention to detail all felt distinctly Windstar. I’m honored to serve as Godmother and look forward to celebrating this incredible new chapter with the team and our guests in January.”
Prelog also added: “Having the Anschutz Family so deeply ingrained in the debut of Star Seeker is an extraordinary honor and a deeply personal milestone for all of us at Windstar. Libby’s role as Godmother brings heart, creativity, and a genuine connection to what we do, and her blessing of our newest yacht makes this new chapter even more meaningful.”
During the official naming ceremony, Libby will deliver the godmother’s blessing and her well wishes for the Star Seeker and all who will sail upon the vessel in the coming years. She will also be tasked with formally naming and blessing the Star Seeker before it sets sail. Libby is also expected to perform the ceremonial maritime tradition of breaking a champagne bottle against the yacht’s hull.
In December 2026, Libby’s sister, Sarah Anschutz, in keeping with the family tradition, will be named Godmother of the Star Explorer, the second in the cruise line’s new all-suite yachts.
