The White Star Line is a a Cacertian cruise line based in the Millennium Tower in Cesena, Cacerta. Founded in 1840 as a packet company, White Star eventually grew to become the premier shipping company of the Cacertian Archipelago. It eventually expanded its cargo lines to include passenger services with an emphasis on comfort and luxury while other companies focused on speed. White Star continues to be characterized by its services in the modern era.

In 1919, White Star relocated its corporate headquarters from Fumicino to Cesena where it attempted to begin investing in long-range aircraft. The start of the Siduri War, however, halted these plans but White Star's headquarters remained in Cesena. The company decided to continue investing in its ocean liner services and, despite stiff competition from airships and airliners, continued to serve the trans-Tyran shipping market with subsidies from the Cacertian government. White Star is a private corporation and one of the many shipping business founded and owned by House Davion.

The mid-1960s saw White Star invest in the development of dual-purposes cruise ships and liners which has since made the company profitable again. As of 2021, White Star Line continues to maintain its legacy Fumicino-Andria-Kenlis line.
