Welcome aboard The Super Star Gemini!

SuperStar Gemini Cruise holds a special place in the hearts of travelers for a multitude of reasons, making it a beloved choice for cruising enthusiasts worldwide. Firstly, its unwavering commitment to luxury and comfort ensures an unforgettable experience for all who step aboard. From meticulously designed accommodations catering to every preference to a plethora of dining options serving delectable cuisine from around the globe, the ship's dedication to excellence is evident in every detail.

SuperStar Gemini History

The cruise ship now known as the SuperStar Gemini had a long and varied history under different names and owners. It began its life in 1992, built for Norwegian Cruise Line and christened the Dreamward. In 1998, the ship underwent a significant lengthening process and was renamed the Norwegian Dream. Finally, in 2012, the ship joined the Star Cruises fleet and received its last name, SuperStar Gemini. From then, it primarily operated in the Asia-Pacific region, sailing out of Singapore. Unfortunately, the SuperStar Gemini's journey came to an end in 2022 when its parent company, Genting Hong Kong, faced financial difficulties amidst the pandemic, and the ship was sold for scrap.

Built : 1992 Operator : Star Cruises Capacity : Accommodating up to 1,532 passengers and 720 crew members. Length : 230 meters (754.59 feet) Width : 29 meters (95.14 feet) Number of Cabins : 765 Speed : Average cruising speed of 18 knots, maximum of 20 knots Gross Tonnage : 50,764 GRT

Why the SuperStar Gemini is No Longer in Service

Here's a deeper dive into why the SuperStar Gemini is no longer in service:

Genting Hong Kong's Collapse : The primary reason for the SuperStar Gemini's demise was the financial collapse of its parent company, Genting Hong Kong. The COVID-19 pandemic dealt a devastating blow to the cruise industry, and Genting Hong Kong was particularly hard hit. In early 2022, the company filed for liquidation.

Liquidation of Assets : During a liquidation process, a company's assets are sold to repay debts. Sadly, the SuperStar Gemini was amongst the assets put up for sale.

Sold for Scrap: Due to the age of the ship and the depressed state of the cruise market at the time, the SuperStar Gemini did not find a buyer interested in continuing its use as a cruise vessel. Ultimately, it was sold for scrap metal.

A Changing Market : The SuperStar Gemini's fate highlights the harsh reality of the cruise industry. Older ships can face challenges in an increasingly competitive market focusing on new, larger, and more feature-packed vessels. The pandemic accelerated this shift, leaving older ships less desirable.

It's important to note: While the SuperStar Gemini is gone, Star Cruises still exists with other ships in their fleet. The cruise industry is gradually recovering, and if you're interested in cruising, there are still many options available.

Sold for Scrap : Due to the age of the ship and the depressed state of the cruise market at the time, the SuperStar Gemini did not find a buyer interested in continuing its use as a cruise vessel. Ultimately, it was sold for scrap metal.

Note: The current fleet of Star Cruises ships is operated by Resorts World One under the name Genting Dream Cruises.

8 Fun Things to Do on the Superstar Gemini Cruise Ship by Star Cruises

Experienced my first cruise aboard the Superstar Gemini by Star Cruises!

Who says going on a cruise ship is boring? I recently joined a three-night cruise aboard the Superstar Gemini by Star Cruises , traveling from Singapore to Penang and Langkawi islands and back. I looked forward to the trip because it was my first time on a cruise ship, but wasn’t expecting to have as much fun as we had in the company of my blogger friends!

Here are the most fun things we did during our trip on the Superstar Gemini :

Have your daily #OOTD fix on topsider

Nothing says “I made it big time” like having your #selfie and #OOTD snaps on a cruise ship. Our team spent a lot of time hanging out on the top deck, which I think is the most Insta-worthy section of the cruise liner with its white-painted deck, al fresco restaurants and swimming pools.

Restaurant-hop ’til you drop

Foodies, beware. You’re in for a feast across the 10 restaurants onboard the Superstar Gemini from breakfast buffets to formal dinners. My favorites were Oceana Barbecue, an alfresco restaurant on topsider and Dynasty Restaurant, which specializes on Chinese buffets and is located on the ship’s stern overlooking an outdoor pool.

Pretend to be captain of the ship

Avail of the bridge tour for a sneak peak of the cruise ship’s command center, where the captain himself gave us a personal tour. He even let us sit on one of the chairs and lent us a captain’s hat and a pair of binoculars for a souvenir photo! If you’re into food, guests may take a galley tour where they prepare all the food for the restaurants of the ship.

Watch your favorite singer perform live

If you’re lucky, your favorite artist might be performing onboard during exclusive events. During our first night on the cruise, popular Filipino singer and “Asia’s Queen of R&B” Kyla wooed everyone with her soulful voice and charming personality aboard the SuperstarGemini — her first performance ever on a cruiseship!

Marvel at magic, acrobatic and burlesque shows

Every night, there’s something in store for all ages, such as a magic show by Guiness World Record-holder illusionist Richard Burr and wife Josette, as well as variety shows with elaborate costumes and incredible stunts by acrobat performers. For something more risqué, there’s the topless Marionettes show that’s sure to turn up the heat for adults.

Have an exciting shore excursion

Don’t spend your entire time on the ship! Head out on a shore excursion of your destinations. At the UNESCO World Heritage city of Georgetown on Penang Island, we got to explore drop by the Chew Jetty and Khoo Khongsi clan house then enjoy a trishaw ride around the busy streets. Known for its geoparks, Langkawi, on the other hand, was a nature trip where we toured a limestone cave on foot, visited a fish farm and hopped on a speedboat for a thrilling ride through the mangrove-fringed karst landscape of Kilim Geoforest Park.

Perform as your favorite superstar

After getting inspired by the evening shows and getting some practice at the karaoke lounge, it’s time to get your groove on and dress up like your favorite superstar. Gael of The Pinay Solo Backpacker , Carla of Blissful Guro and I were dared by our group to sign up for  Copy Cat , a contest show where guests are invited by the crew to dress up as a celebrity and lip sync a performance onstage in front of a live audience!

Join the pool party!

The topsider pool became the most happening spot as early as 10 AM during the pool party, when dance music blared from the speakers as guests were hosed down by the crew. It’s the perfect way to beat the midday heat with family and friends with a beer can in hand.

SuperStar Gemini

Why cruise on this ship.

SuperStar Gemini combines smart new cabins, restaurants and recreational areas with 6,000 square feet of premium duty-free shopping. The vessel sails from Singapore and stops at the beautiful Malaysian ports of Malacca, Pulau Redang, Pulau Tioman, Langkawi, Penang and Kuala Lumpur. You will enjoy the best of both Singapore and Malaysia with her cruises.

Value for Money

Delivers unparalleled experiences without compromising on affordability

Understand why that Value For Money

Introverts Who Shy Away From It's The Ship, THIS Is The Ship For You

Cruises are for rich retirees. 

That thought stuck with me for the longest of time and perhaps that’s why I had never considered it as a means of travel.

Recently, the DiscoverKL team had the opportunity to be a part of Genting Superstar Gemini’s inaugural homeport deployment and I knew that it was a chance to either be proven very wrong or right all along.

Coincidentally, we set sail at the same time as party cruise, It’s The Ship. In comparison, Superstar Gemini was the introverted sibling with an entirely different idea of partying.

Nope, we didn’t have foam parties and music DJs on board our 4-day-3-night cruise to Phuket and Penang, but what we had instead suited our introverted personalities, plus the calm and peace that we really needed.

Performances were held at the Stardust Lounge, a theatre which can accommodate up to 630 guests at any given time—although actual seating spaces are far less. Besides dance classes, other activities are held here throughout the day as well, including game shows and movies.

Our tip would be to arrive early for highly anticipated performances such as Circus  so you can score yourself a seat with a good view. There were a couple of times where we arrived slightly later and had to take our spot right at the back.

On board the Superstar Gemini, there is also a 24/7 KTV lounge. We gave this one a miss as there were frankly more interesting adventures on board to experience. Still, it’s cool how you can chill with a drink bought at the bar (located right next to it) and it’ll earn you one free song at the karaoke lounge.

What Did We Eat?

You’ll never go hungry on the ship as meals are served 5 times a day!

Though there are 11 eateries in total, we quickly found that the cruise fare only includes meals at 4 different restaurants: Oceana Barbecue, Bella Vista, Mariner’s and Dynasty. If you wish to head to the other restaurants or bars on board, do note that the bill will be charged to your cabin and you may settle the payment at the reception on your last day.

Meals are served buffet-style at these 4 restaurants and it includes mains, desserts and beverages. Our favourite was Oceana Barbecue for the selection of grilled proteins including prawn, lobster, crab and lamb. It’s such a shame that though there are umbrella shades, the restaurant is outdoors and subject to unpredictable weather. We even experienced heavy rain one evening and had to quickly run for shelter. We would have gone for seconds had it not rained!

Bella Vista and Mariner’s unfortunately fell short of our expectations as the meals, and desserts in particular, were average at best. Some of the standouts at both restaurants though, were the carbs, such as the noodles and rice.

We deduced that meals that were prepared fresh on board were tastier whilst those that unfortunately have to be pre-packaged for convenience (dumplings and paos) were not as appetising.

Dynasty, in particular was one that was difficult to gain entry to as there was always a long queue. We’d suggest waking up early to enjoy breakfast here as the queue is much shorter then. In fact, we got up early one morning to catch the sunrise (best views on Deck 10) and headed straight for Dynasty—there wasn’t a line in sight. Also, try asking the crew if a window seat is available so you could have an unobstructed view of the blue sea whilst you enjoy your meal.

All of the restaurants on board the Superstar Gemini have different opening hours but if you’re hungry in the middle of the night, the Blue Lagoon restaurant and bar is open 24/7. Guests are entitled to one meal a day at each of these 4 eateries and you would have to produce your cabin card for verification.

What Else Did We Do?

After all the feasting, it only felt right to head to the gym. It helped that it was open till 2am too, so if you prefer working out alone, you’ll likely be able to experience that at 1 in the morning.

The King Neptune Health Club comprises of a gym, salon and spa. There are no charges for the gym but you would have to sign in and out and follow the proper attire guideline (sportswear and sport shoes only). The salon and spa on the other hand, include separate charges. There are special deals for both and you’ll find it on your Star Navigator— the cruise ship’s newsletter that’s sent to your doorstep each morning.

We easily spent close to an hour at the gym because it’s equipped with the basics for a small space. There are treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes and weight machines as well as free weights.

If you prefer chilling by the pool, there’s a jacuzzi and 2 swimming pools located on different decks.

The jacuzzi can easily accommodate 8-10 people at any given time and doesn’t require any pre-booking. As for the pool, we would recommend heading to the Topsider’s pool on deck 11, purely for the views and for the ‘gram.

Other facilities on board include the child care centre, medical centre, mahjong room and casino. There’s also a duty-free outlet where you can pick up watches, jewelry, cosmetics and even Superstar Gemini souvenirs. Most of the items are slightly pricier than retail stores but we’d have to say that some of the offerings are pretty unique: such as Korean beauty brand Papa Recipe.

For brands which are available in KL, such as SK-II and Laneige, they are pretty well-stocked too. We would imagine some guests running out of their favourite Lancôme facial toner or wanting to purchase some facial masks to pamper themselves back at their cabin. This is where the Duty Free outlet can come in handy.

Where Did We Sleep?

Speaking of cabins, there are 8 types on board the ship. Do note that while booking of rooms on the ship is not available (you will have to book your room prior to your trip), you can get an upgrade but of course, this is subject to availability.

We stayed at the “Oceanview Stateroom with Window” and boy, did it come with a view. The room is equipped with a sofa bed and curtains conveniently separating the beds from the lounge area. The TV came in handy too as we stayed in most nights, being the introverts that we are. The bathroom, though small, was surprisingly well-equipped with toiletries, including a body lotion and a hair dryer.

The Phuket Disembarkation

Though the cruise stopped for disembarkation twice, we only got off at Phuket. The entire on-ground trip is roughly 5 hours long, excluding the hour-long disembarkation process.

Shore excursions are priced separately but we had the opportunity to join the Phuket tour, organised by the Genting group. Our trip included stops at the Big Buddha, Wat Chalong, a cashew nut factory and dinner at a local Thai restaurant. Due to time constraints, we had to give the Jungceylon Shopping Centre a miss. Still, we’d say it’s a pretty well-planned tour (kudos to our tour guide, Rainie) for the amount of time we had at each location, minus the travel time by bus and ferry.

And the meal we had in Phuket was easily worth the lengthy disembarkation process. The usual suspects were there, including dishes like the Spicy Thai Basil Chicken and Sweet and Sour Thai Chicken. In fact, all of us went back for seconds and thirds.

At the end of the cruise, I find that I’m proven wrong. No, the cruise is clearly not just for retirees and no, you don’t have to be filthy rich either. All you need is a sense of adventure and an open mind.

The Superstar Gemini may not be as premium as its sister ships like the Genting Dream and World Dream; but it has its fair share of fun and relaxation, particularly catering to families and young groups of millennials.

So Why Is It The Cruise For Us?

The Genting Dream, which played host to It’s The Ship, has its own appeal and there’d definitely be those who would appreciate the music and just the experience of being on a party cruise. But for introverts who would appreciate the peace and calm of the ocean and just enjoying the facilities such as the pool, gym and jacuzzi, the Superstar Gemini would be more up their alley.

Prices for twin sharing starts at RM999 (we got to experience the RM1,149 cabin) and it’s also slightly more affordable as compared to Genting Dream. The basic package for 2 on the Genting Dream is RM1,198 and it also has a shorter 2-night route of Singapore-Port Klang-Singapore.

For introverts like us, whose idea of a perfect day is curling up on a couch with a good book or being at one with nature, Superstar Gemini is how we cruise.

The Superstar Gemini departs from November 5-April 28, 2019 and there are 4 separate routes heading out of Port Klang:

• Port Klang-Phuket-Langkawi-Port Klang
• Port Klang-Phuket-Penang-Port Klang
• Port Klang-Phuket-Krabi-Penang-Port Klang
• Port Klang-Singapore-Port Klang

Former Star Cruises Ships Sail to Alang for Scrapping

• November 26, 2022

After spending several months in lay up, the ex-SuperStar Aquarius and the ex-SuperStar Gemini recently completed their final journeys to the scrapyard.

Formerly operated by Star Cruises, the sister ships will now be scrapped at the Alang Shipbreaking Yard, in India.

During the process, the vessels – which were renamed MV Arius and MV Gem for their last voyages – will be dismantled, with building materials, fixtures and systems being removed for repurposing or recycling.

Previously serving the Asian cruise markets, the 50,000-ton sister ships were out of service since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

After the collapse of Genting Hong Kong, who owned Star Cruises, the ships ended up sold to new owners in May.

While expected to be scrapped , the Aquarius and the Gemini initially remained laid-up at the Hambantota International Port, in Sri Lanka – where they arrived in late June.

Constructed at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in France, the 2,000-guest sister ships were built for Norwegian Cruise Line.

After entering service as the Windward in 1993, the SuperStar Aquarius was transferred to Star Cruises – which, at the time, was part of Norwegian’s business conglomerate – in 2007.

The vessel also spent time sailing as the Norwegian Wind, offering itineraries mainly in North America and the Caribbean.

The SuperStar Gemini, meanwhile, debuted in 1992 as the Dreamward.

After being renamed Norwegian Dream in 1998, the vessel continued to serve the North American market through 2012, when it acquired by Star Cruises .

Other ships formerly operated by the Asian cruise line were also sold to scrapyards this year, including the ex-SuperStar Libra .

More recently service as a floating hotel in Germany, the vessel was beached for dismantling at a Turkish shipbreaking yard in May.

In July, the Star Pisces also started its recycling process in Alang .

Star Cruises (starcruises.com/sg/en) is owned by Genting Hong Kong (GHK) and is ranked world's 3rd biggest cruise company, following Carnival Corporation and Royal Caribbean Cruises LTD . The company dominates the Asia-Pacific market and is listed on the Singapore Exchange and Hong Kong Stock Exchange. In 2015, GHK introduced the corporation's newest cruise line brand - Dream Cruises . The new company started with 2 newbuilds - both top-luxury mega-liners, built specifically for the Asian / Chinese market.

Another large Chinese cruise brand is the new company (2015-founded) Adora Cruises/CSSC Carnival China Cruise Shipping . At the following link can be found listed all CruiseMapper's news related to Star Cruises owner Genting Hong Kong .

IMPORTANT : On January 19, 2022, the parent company GHK-Genting Hong Kong Ltd (Malaysia) filed for bankruptcy. On Jan 10th, for insolvency filed the two GHK-owned shipbuilding companies in Germany - MV Werften and Lloyd Werft. On Jan 27th, Dream Cruises filed a winding-up petition with the Bermuda Court for liquidation. and the appointment of the provisional liquidators working with GHK.

NEWS : In late-April 2022, was announced that the docked in Malaysia ships Star Pisces (1990-built), SuperStar Gemini (1992) and SuperStar Aquarius (1993) are listed for scrapping and soon to the beached at Alang India . SuperStar Libra (1988) was last AIS reported on April 7th (in Wismar Germany). The three liners' last crew signed off on May 17th, as new/skeleton crew were hired to take them to the scrapyard for dismantling and recycling.

On August 31, 2022, GHK's Star Cruises Asia Holding Ltd announced entering into a SPA/Share Purchase Agreement to sell its wholly-owned Star Market Ltd (100% of its shares) for US$3,5M/RM15,84M to the company Resorts World Inc Pte Ltd. Resorts World is 50-50 owned by Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay (GHK's former Executive Director) and Genting Berhad (Genting Group's parent company, if which Lim Kok Thay holds ~30% shares). Star Market owns trademarks and intellectual property rights.

Company history

The company's introduction on the global cruise shipping market allowed Star Cruises to tap into profitable and more mature markets in Europe and North America. Its services cater to Asian guests, as well as to Europeans, Australians and North Americans, interested in Asian destinations. Star Cruises chairman was Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, son of the late Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong (founder of Genting Highlands, Malaysia).

Star Cruises was established as an associate of Genting Group of Malaysia, incorporated on November 10, 1993, in Bermuda, with corporate headquarters in Hong Kong China . The first ships of the company were two cruise ferries bought from the bankrupted estate of Swedish Rederi AB Slite. Star Cruises was the world's first major cruise company to recruit Filipinos for its ships.

The company purchased several other used vessels in the following years. In 1998, it took delivery of the first newbuild - SuperStar Leo (now Norwegian Spirit) . Sistership SuperStar Virgo (Explorer Dream/Resorts World One) followed in 1999. The same year Star Cruises acquired Sun Cruises.

In 2000, Star Cruises also acquired NCL (Norwegian Cruise Line) , including the subsidiaries "Norwegian Capricorn Line" and "Orient Lines", becoming the biggest global cruise line in the world. Norwegian Capricorn Line's operations were soon merged into Star Cruises. Before the NCL purchase, Star Cruises had several other newbuilds (either under construction or planned), but following the merger, most of them joined NCL's fleet. However, in August 2007, Star Cruises sold 50% of NCL (for USD 1 billion) to Apollo Management, retaining just 28% stake in NCL.

In 2001, Star Cruises founded the sister company "Cruise Ferries", which started operations in July with the passenger ferry Wasa Queen on short itineraries between Hong Kong and Xiamen. These were followed by overnight gambling cruises - roundtrip from Hong Kong and from Port Klang (Kuala Lumpur). Wasa Queen stopped operating and was sold to another company in 2007, and eventually was scrapped in 2013.

The then-largest ship in the fleet - SuperStar Leo - was transferred in 2004 to Norwegian Cruise Line to take over Norwegian Sky voyages. Since 2006, the trend has been that newbuilds were to be constructed for NCL, and the old ships in the Norwegian fleet would be transferred to Star Cruises fleet in Asia.

In 2008, both Orient Lines and NCL America brands were discontinued, with Orient's sole ship, ms Marco Polo, sold to the Greece-based Global Maritime. The same year, the first ship from NCL Norwegian was transferred to the fleet of Star Cruises as SuperStar Libra .

In 2011, Star Cruises received a brand new hull art. SuperStar Aquarius , Star Pisces , and SuperStar Virgo won their new attire. On April 27, 2012, it was announced that Norwegian Dream will join Star Cruises fleet and be renamed to SuperStar Gemini starting service in 2012.

On October 7, 2013, Star Cruises announced that together with their parent company, Genting Hong Kong had entered into an agreement with Meyer Werft, Germany for the construction of one new vessel. The vessel will be able to accommodate 3,364 passengers at double occupancy and will be delivered in Fall 2016.

On February 10, 2014, Star Cruises announced that a second ship was ordered and scheduled for delivery by Fall 2017. On February 9, 2015, the first steel cutting ceremony was held for Genting World at Meyer Werft shipyard. Both newbuilds will weigh 150,000 GT.

In May 2018, Genting Cruise Lines signed a partnership deal with Wirecard (digital payments / online shop development company) for implementing a fleetwide onboard payment system. The system ("Quick Pay") was first installed on World Dream and Genting Dream, then launched on SuperStar Virgo. "Quick Pay" allows the passenger to be in full control of their onboard money spending - including pre-authorized limits, account management, monitoring, paying the total bill at disembarkation. The technology is based on scanning individual QR codes (during check-in, in staterooms or via the ship's intranet network, then selecting the "Quick Pay" option. Payments can be made via Alipay (Chinese online payment platform) and the credit cards Visa, American Express, Mastercard, Diners Club, JCB, UnionPay. The mobile app allows passengers to set up pre-authorized amounts for themselves, as well as for friends and family members.

On March 2, 2018, via letters and emails sent to all booked customers, GHK announced that the liner SuperStar Libra ends its passenger shipping operations for Star Cruises on June 27, 2018. Since August 2018, the vessel serves as a hotel ship in Wismar (Germany) for the shipbuilding company MV Werften. SuperStar Libra is permanently docked (moored) at MV Werften Wismar shipyard's quay. Since April 2016, GHK fully owns MV WERFTEN - a new company incorporating the 3 Nordic Yards in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern - the shipyards in Rostock , Stralsund , and Wismar.

(new) Genting Global-Class cruise ships

On May 10, 2016, the parent company GHK (Genting Hong) signed with Lloyd Werft Group in Wismar Germany a shipbuilding contract for all 10 new cruise vessels . In 2015, GHK purchased a majority stake in Lloyd Werft (dockyard in Bremerhaven Germany ). In 2016, GHK purchased Lloyd Werft's remaining 30%, plus the three shipyards owned by Nordic Yards (Wismar, Warnemunde, Stralsund), thus forming Lloyd Werft Group.

Of the 10 newbuilds, 6 are riverboats plus 2 ocean-going (all 8 for the GHK's subsidiary Crystal Cruises ) and 2 are mega liners (for Star Cruises and Dream Cruises). The new GHK liners are sisterships of the Global-Class, each with gross tonnage 204,000 GT tons, LOA length 341 m (1120 ft) and passenger capacity 5000 (lower berths). Ship deliveries were scheduled for 2020 (for Dream Cruises) and 2021 (for Star Cruises). The ship-order has optional 2 more vessels of the same class.

The company's Complete Cleantech Solution package includes a vacuum collection system, wastewater treatment plant, dry and wet waste treatment plant, freshwater desalination plants (based on reverse osmosis). The freshwater generation plants have the capacity to produce over 3000 m3 of freshwater per day. The contract with Evac was signed on January 3, 2017.

On January 9, 2017, was signed a contract with ABB for delivery of Azipods (power-propulsion units), automation systems and the marine software for all 5 new Genting cruise ships ordered for both brands - Crystal and Star. The 3x Crystal vessels are from the Crystal Endeavor series (polar-class expedition yachts).

These are the first purpose-built ships for the contemporary Chinese market regarding onboard amenities and services (food, cultural events, shows, enrichment programs, shopping, tours/excursions. Cruise ticket prices will be affordable. In May 2019 were unveiled more Global-Class vessel details. The ships will have industry's first theme park at sea, largest cinema at sea, world's longest roller coaster at sea, self-guided robotic assistants, industry's largest standard staterooms (sized 20 m2), Bluetooth cabin door locks, touch-screen control panel, smartphone-control of different en-suite functions (mood lighting, air-conditioning, etc).

On March 8, 2018, at MV Werften shipyard ( Bremerhaven Germany ) started the construction of the first of the two Global-Class Genting cruise liners.

The GHK-owned Lloyd Werft Group has the capacity to produce annually 2 mega liners (over 200,000 GT tons each) plus 1 mid-sized vessel (around 50,000 GT tons). Lloyd Werft has 2 new covered drydocks, a new ship launching platform and over 0,5 million m2 of covered fabrication halls.

In December 2018, Genting Cruise Lines announced plans to build smaller-sized (Contemporary-class) ships for Star Cruises from the German shipbuilder MV Werften. The first liner will be delivered in 2023. In 2019, SuperStar Virgo was renamed "Explorer Dream" and transferred to Dream Cruises in April 2019.

Star Cruises shipboard experience

The big appeal to western clients of Star Cruises is that its ships not only take guests around Asia but also let you experience an Asian lifestyle.

"SuperStar" ships were the first to offer the largest number of restaurants afloat. This innovation later passed on to Norwegian's "freestyle dining". SuperStars Virgo and Leo offer Italian, Asian, Japanese and Chinese restaurants. Virgo also has the only Indian restaurant afloat. Naturally, Star Cruises ships offer the usual formal dining room, casual buffets, and poolside grills. All dining venues offer open seating for ultimate flexibility.

Shipboard entertainment features spectacular shows by Chinese acrobats, card rooms (Mah Jong), private rooms for parties, karaoke rooms. Onboard service is friendly, impeccable, discreet. Star Cruises has a no-tipping policy and brags with one of Asian cruising industry's highest crew-to-passenger ratios - one staff member for every two passengers.

Star Cruises predominantly markets Asian travelers. The internationally focused SuperStar Virgo attracted passengers from Japan, Malaysia, Australia New Zealand, as well as adventurous-spirited North Americans and Europeans.

In 2018, Genting Cruise Lines signed an agreement with Okinawa Agricultural Cooperatives Association and Leospo Inc. Following the partnership, on select GHK-owned cruise liners is offered Okinawa-sourced food and local produce.

• The new onboard dining options include the famous Okinawa Wagyu beef and Okinawa Agu pork. The offer is available on select ships and during summer when they cruise to Okinawa.
• In 2018 (April through November), these premium food specialties were available on three boats (World Dream, SuperStar Aquarius, SuperStar Gemini, SuperStar Virgo). The exclusive gourmet dishes were served via specially designed theme menus. They also included the traditional Japanese dishes Shabu Shabu (with ingredients stirred in cooking pot) and Teppanyaki (iron griddle cooked food), as well as BBQ Okinawa Agu Pork and the wok-fried Okinawa beef (with bitter gourd garlic) and Okinawa beef rib eye (with sweet plum sauce).

Genting fly-cruise deals

In June 2017, Genting Cruise Lines (grouping the companies Dream Cruises and Star Cruises) and Asia's largest airline "China Southern Airlines" signed a Memorandum of Understanding/MoU on an exclusive "flight and cruise" partnership in China.

• The deal is for discounted fly-cruise deals on cruises leaving from homeport Guangzhou-Nansha - a premium travel hub and cruise homeport in Asia.
• By this strategic agreement, both China Southern Airlines and Genting combined their resources in sales, marketing, promotions, and product development, creating a competitive travel product by the new "Air+Cruise+Travel" program. The program targets both individual and group travelers.

Free Birthday cruise

Star Cruises offers free Birthday cruise deals on select ships and departure dates. Company's "Free Birthday Celebrant Package" consists of:

• Cabin decorations (set up on the embarkation day)
• 0,5 kg chocolate cake
• Birthday card
• Cruise voucher (at the ship's Reception) is applicable at onboard retail shops and spa/wellness outlets. To use the voucher, you need to swipe your access card at the outlets. When you settle your bill during checkout, the voucher's value is deducted from the total amount due.
• Free Wifi vouchers for 2 passengers for the entire cruise (at the ship's Reception). Wi-Fi connections on Start Cruises ships are available in all public areas and in staterooms.

Genting Cruises Private Island Resort

In early November 2017, GHK corporation signed an agreement with the Macleod Island 's owner "Tint Tint Myanmar Group" (headquartered in Yangon Burma ) to jointly built new cruise ship facilities on this private island.

Cruise line private Islands are among the best-known assets of the world's largest cruise shipping companies ( Carnival Corporation , RCCL-Royal Caribbean , NCL , MSC ). However, most such private island resorts are located in the Caribbean.

GHK's partnering with Tint Tint Myanmar Group makes Macleod Island the first Asian private cruise resort destination. It is opened exclusively for Genting cruise ship tourists visiting the island via ships operated by the GHK-owned Dream Cruises and Star Cruises. Among GHK's other Asian projects are Guangzhou-Nansha Port development (in China) and Port Danang (in Vietnam).

Macleod Island was first visited by a Star Cruises ship (SuperStar Libra) on November 3, 2017. The 5-night / 6-day itinerary also included Penang Malaysia  and Phuket Thailand .

(Coronavirus crisis) passenger shipping pause 2020-2021

Despite the global Coronavirus crisis , Genting Cruise Lines (shipowner) didn't suspend its fleet's passenger shipping operations. Instead, the company (parent of Dream Cruises and Star Cruises) expanded its cancellation policy with "Cruise As You Wish". It allowed all existing and new bookings made before or on October 30, 2020 (initially July 31), to be canceled penalty-free up to 48 hours (prior departure).

These bookings were fully refunded (100%) via FCC (future cruise credit). With rebooking, the amount of the fare paid is automatically transferred to any Dream Cruises or Star Cruises itinerary starting before or on March 31, 2021 (initially December 31 2020).

Itinerary of Star Cruises

Following on Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit held in Qingdao, Star Cruises celebrated the inaugural cruise of SuperStar Aquarius from her new homeport Qingdao on June 13, 2018. Guests from the Shandong peninsula and neighboring cities are now able to enjoy journeys to Japanese destinations like Beppu , Fukuoka City , Nagasaki , and Sasebo . The flagship SuperStar Virgo also offered Qingdao homeport itineraries (November 2018 through March 2019).

Star Cruises officially set a record number of homeport deployments done by the same brand in Port Qingdao. By homeporting here SuperStar Virgo, the company became the only cruise line in history to have 2 ships homeported in Qingdao during the same year.

While cruising at sea, passengers enjoy a hassle-free experience onboard SuperStar Aquarius, complemented by Asian hospitality and delicacies unique to Star Cruises. The flagship of Star Cruises, SuperStar Virgo, calls Qingdao homeport starting in November 2018, taking passengers on 4-night voyages to Kagoshima , Fukuoka, and Nagasaki.
