Star Cruises’ flagship SuperStar
Virgo will visit Australian waters
for the first time in a decade later
this year, with the vessel taking
in several Aussie ports during an
“epic” 48-day voyage.
Scheduled to depart from
Hong Kong on 13 Nov 15, the
ship will call at ports including
Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne and
Fremantle as well as Bali, Jakarta,
Bangkok, Singapore, Ho Chi Minh
City and more.
Staterooms on the cruise can
also be purchased in shorter
segments such as Hong Kong/
Singapore/Fremantle, Fremantle/
Sydney or Sydney/Hong Kong.
“As a pioneer in the Asia Pacific
cruise industry, we have seen
the appetite for longer cruise
itineraries grow in popularity
with our Asian and Australian
cruisers in recent years, and have
responded by offering large scale
journeys for our guests,” said Star
Cruises vice president of sales
Braydon Holland.
“We are thrilled to have
Australia play such an important
role in this inaugural itinerary,”
Holland added.
He said Star Cruises was keen
to reacquaint Australian cruisers
with Virgo, which was refurbished
in 2012, along with the line’s
“acclaimed Asian hospitality”.
Star Cruises has been operating
in the region since 1993, and the
1,974 lower berth Virgo offers
more than 13 restaurants and
bars with a full range of Asian and
international cuisine which will
reflect the “multi-cultural bounty
of the various destinations
dotting the itinerary”.
The voyage returns to Hong
Kong on 31 Dec 2015.
