Windstar Cruises has selected Libby Anschutz to be the godmother of its newest vessel, Star Seeker.
Libby Anschutz is the daughter of the cruise line’s owner, Phil Anschutz. Her sister Sarah Anschutz will be godmother of sister ship Star Explorer when it debuts in December 2026.
Libby Anschutz will christen the vessel during a ceremony in Miami on January 15. Afterward, the vessel will depart for a seven-night christening sailing to San Juan.

For now, Star Seeker has successfully completed sea trials and is back at the WestSEA shipyard in Portugal for final outfitting. The vessel will cross the Atlantic to begin its inaugural Caribbean season, which consists of seven- to 14-night voyages.
“Having the Anschutz family so deeply engrained in the debut of Star Seeker is an extraordinary honor and a deeply personal milestone for all of us at Windstar,” says Christopher Prelog, president of Windstar Cruises. “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.”
