quote:Hong Kong fly-cruise push by Starby Phil DaviesApril 17, 2008Star Cruises is seeking to attract UK passengers to sail in Asia with the redeployment of SuperStar Virgo to Hong Kong. The vessel – the most luxurious in Star Cruises’ Asian fleet – arrived in Hong Kong on April 2 following a repositioning cruise from Singapore. The ship will run a series of sailings out of Hong Kong until October 19. In this inaugural season, SuperStar Virgo will sail to Xiamen and Sanya in China and Halong Bay in Vietnam. There will also be four special cruises to Keelung, Taiwan in April, June, July and September. Five-night Sanya, Halong Bay and Xiamen bay cruises lead-in at £361 per person excluding flights. A three-night Keelung, Taiwan cruise-only starts at £240. The line’s European sales and marketing director Mick Dupont said: “Moving SuperStar Virgo to Hong Kong has opened up a whole world of opportunity for agents in the UK. “As well as offering new destinations to seasoned cruisers, we also hope to attract first-timers keen on exploring this exciting region. “Holidays in South East Asia are traditionally shorter than in the west, so many of the cruise itineraries reflect this. This means agents and Far East operators can combine cruising with city breaks and longer stays in China.” SuperStar Aquarius, which joined the Star Cruises fleet last June, has commenced sailings from Singapore, offering a combination of four-night cruises to Penang, Malaysia and Phuket, Thailand, as well as one–night and two-night sailings.
