Resorts World One: Star Navigator Set to Launch Star Cruises Operations from Keelung, Taiwan in March

The former Resorts World One has been rebranded as the Star Navigator, set to begin operations for Star Cruises in March 2025. This change aligns with Resorts World Cruises’ transition to the Star Cruises brand, noted for its long-standing presence in the Asian cruising industry.

The Star Navigator will be homeported in Keelung, Taiwan, from March 28 to November 14, 2025. The ship will offer weekly roundtrip cruises to Japan and Korea, featuring 13 unique itineraries:

• 3-day cruises: 41 sailings to destinations like Ishigaki, Miyakojima, and Naha, along with weekend high seas options.
• 4-day cruises: 8 sailings to Naha and Ishigaki or Miyakojima.
• 6-day cruises: 25 sailings exploring various ports in Japan and South Korea.

Special Themed Cruises

• Cherry Blossom Cruises: These two exclusive spring voyages will allow guests to witness cherry blossoms at famous sites, including Kumamoto Castle and Mount Yoshino in Kagoshima. Each guest will enjoy a complimentary "Hanami Excursion," offering traditional picnics under the cherry trees.
• World Expo 2025 Cruises: Selected itineraries will include Osaka, enabling passengers to attend the World Expo 2025, a significant global event held every five years.
• Fall Foliage Cruises: Two cruises in November will take passengers through South Korea and Japan, featuring stunning autumn scenery.

To meet the standards of the Star Cruises brand, the Star Navigator is undergoing extensive renovations. These upgrades will improve lighting, sound, and entertainment systems, creating a vibrant onboard atmosphere with themed events, such as Foam and Rain Parties and Red Carpet Parties.

Travelers from other Asian regions can fly to Taipei and board the ship in Keelung without needing a visa for Japan and Korea cruises. Options for extended vacations in Taiwan, Japan, or South Korea are also available, allowing for enriching travel experiences lasting between 6 to 8 days.

The strategic deployment of Star Navigator and the vessel’s enhancements are designed to provide diverse and fulfilling cruise experiences across the Asian region.
