Star Voyager Makes Its Grand Arrival in Hong Kong!

StarCruises has made its return to Hong Kong with the inaugural arrival of the Star Voyager, officially launching its operations from the city. The ship will run 45 roundtrip sailings from Hong Kong’s Ocean Terminal at Harbour City until November 14, 2025.

Sailing itineraries will include two, three, and five-night cruises, featuring East and Southeast Asian destinations. Michael Goh, president of StarDream Cruises, expressed excitement about the arrival, highlighting a US$50 million refurbishment that has revamped the ship with new amenities and diverse itineraries.

Dane Cheng, the executive director of the Hong Kong Tourism Board, acknowledged that the Star Voyager’s homeport deployment is a significant opportunity for enhancing the city’s cruise tourism potential. Joanne Chu, Deputy Commissioner for Tourism, added that the new itineraries, which navigate through international cruise ports like Sanya and mainland destinations, allow for easier access for mainland visitors. These travelers can transit to Hong Kong without a permit, as long as they provide their passports and confirmation of their cruise plans.

The scheduled itineraries include:

  • Two-night Sea-cation with Friday departures (June 27 – November 14), plus special departures on July 6-8.
  • Two nights to Kaohsiung on select Wednesdays: July 2 and 16, August 13, September 10, and October 29.
  • Three nights to Kaohsiung and Penghu departing on Sundays: June 29, August 10, September 7, and October 26.
  • Five nights to Ishigaki, Keelung, and Penghu on select Sundays: July 27 and August 24.
  • Additional five-night itineraries include destinations such as Naha, Sanya, and Ha Long Bay on various dates.

As the Star Voyager embarks on its promising journey, it represents an exciting development for both StarCruises and the local tourism industry.
