The name makes actually sense since Star Cruises emerged from the Genting Group who is still shareholder of Star Cruises.

The cruise ops would continue with the Star Cruises name.

Just like the case of ASIA STAR (ex-RADISSON DIAMOND). Now that she is in Singapore, her operator is named "Ben's Entertainment City", ship name remains as "ASIA STAR".
