StarCruises has officially announced the eagerly awaited deployment of the Star Voyager cruise ship in Hong Kong, initiating its summer season on June 27.
The Star Voyager will embark from the city’s core, representing a significant moment for the brand in the region. Following a favorable reception of its initial deployment through August, the cruise’s Hong Kong operations have been extended by an additional 11 weeks, with departures now planned until November 14.
Travelers can board the Star Voyager directly at Hong Kong’s Ocean Terminal, which boasts a prime location, making it convenient for accessing top attractions and shopping areas.
Offering two-, three-, and five-night cruise options, the Star Voyager will transport passengers to stunning destinations like Okinawa in Japan and Taiwan’s Keelung, Kaohsiung, and Penghu. This extended period from summer to autumn will provide enhanced travel options for Hong Kong residents and improve the offerings in the Fly and Rail cruise sectors. International visitors can also benefit from the option of pre- or post-cruise stays in Hong Kong, enriching their overall travel experience.
One of the most remarkable ways to enjoy the stunning skyline of Hong Kong is from the deck of a cruise ship, providing an unmatched view of the city’s iconic nightscape.
