RESORTS World Cruises (RWC) has announced its fleet expansion, with the former P&O Australia’s Pacific Explorer to transform into Star Scorpio.
The ship will home port in Singapore for Resorts World, starting in Mar, once she sails her final voyage for P&O Cruises Australia.
Scorpio will also home port in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam, arriving in time for a number of school- and religious-based holidays.
The ship will be the third in RWC’s fleet, sailing to popular destinations including to Jakarta, Medan, Melaka, Pulau Redang, Bangkok, Koh Samui, and Ho Chi Minh City.
Scorpio will also undergo a US$50 million renovation and upgrade in Singapore, and will feature many restaurants, bars, showrooms, and other recreational facilities.
“We are pleased to introduce Star Scorpio as the third cruise ship for our fleet and to kick start her maiden deployment in Singapore,” RWC President Michael Goh said.
“Scorpio will be the first cruise ship to home port in Ho Chi Minh City, allowing Vietnamese to enjoy affordable cruises to Singapore and Melaka.
“For Singapore passengers, the 14-hour Jakarta port time will allow passengers to go to the historic city of Bandung using the new high-speed rail, which travels at a speed of up to 250km/h, with the rare chance to also visit a live volcano,” he added. MS
