Star pisces, review of star cruises.

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.

Genting Star Cruises new ship (Global-Class)

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.

Global Class ships feature artificial intelligence technologies (including facial and voice recognition for expedited passenger services - boarding, disembarkation, payments), robots (performing mundane tasks), Cineplex (theme park), Asian spa complex, multiple Asian dining venues (including fast food), both affordable and premium retail shopping facilities, roller coaster, water park (with 5 slides), surf simulator. Staterooms are designed for Asian families and can sleep up to 2-4 persons. Most cabins are with two (split) bathrooms. Each liner has 8 sets of escalators and 28 elevators.

Vessel's waste and water management system was provided by Evac (world's leading company building integrated waste-wastewater-water management systems). 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.

Genting Star Cruises new ship (Global-Class)

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.

Note: Starting operations for Dream Cruises in mid-April 2019, SuperStar Virgo was renamed "MS Explorer Dream" and homeported in Shanghai (China). For the winter season 2020, Explorer Dream was deployed in Australia-New Zealand.

SUPERSTAR VIRGO: Cruise Guide for First-Timers (What to Expect)

SUPERSTAR VIRGO: Cruise Guide for First-Timers (What to Expect)

By continuing to read this article, you agree to double check with the authorities or other concerned entities for the latest updates.

WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS GUIDE?

Packing & Pre-Trip Preparations

star cruise virgo singapore price

  • First things first, travel documents. If you’re joining the Manila-Laoag-Kaohsiung-Hong Kong cruise, no visas needed. You only need to bring your passport and a photocopy of its bio page.
  • It’s a cruise so it wouldn’t hurt to dress up and achieve your #OOTD goals. We packed at least 2 sets of garments a day: one set of light clothes for touring, and another for the evening shows. Why two sets? It’s pretty cool inside the ship, but things change as soon as you get out of it. In our case, it’s the middle of April! Onboard, I’m clad in shorts and a t-shirt with a polo on top of it. But as soon as we go outside, I had to remove the polo because it would get too hot especially on Ilocos and Kaohsiung stops. Hong Kong was a different story. It rained so hard for a brief moment. Takeaway: check the weather in every stop and prepare accordingly.
  • The rooms are also equipped with slip-on sandals, bath robes, and toiletries. You will also be provided a see-through plastic pouch wherein you can put your passport and access card (which I will explain later).
  • Remember: Each passenger is allowed only one piece of check-in luggage free-of-charge. Anything more will incur additional fees.
  • For the Manila season, the default currency is the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD).

star cruise virgo singapore price

  • In many ways, the process is similar to that at the airport. You still need valid travel documents, check in your baggage, and pass through an immigration inspection and security checks before boarding.
  • You will be given a mag card (access card). DO NOT LOSE IT. It’s the most important item as soon as you step into the ship. It serves as your keycard to your cabin and credit card when purchasing something or dining at specialty restaurants. You will also need this when disembarking to explore the ports and when returning to the ship.
  • You will need to surrender your passport upon boarding. You’ll have it back after the journey.

Safety Drill

As soon as everyone is settled, there will be a safety drill that you are required to participate in. It is extremely important that you are familiar with the ship’s geography and the directions you need to take in case of an emergency.

star cruise virgo singapore price

In Manila, the drill happens right before sunset, so as soon as it’s over, head straight to Deck 12 to have a better view. We’ve been to a lot of places around the world, but Manila offers some of the most spectacular sunsets.

Do it at every stop. Nothing is more relaxing that just watching the sun call it a day.

3 Inclusive Restaurants

“Inclusive,” meaning you can dine here free-of-charge. It’s part of what you paid for. Onboard the Virgo, there are three inclusive dining options:

  • Mediterranean Buffet . The most popular, located on Deck 12, just behind the Parthenon Pool. Serves breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, and supper. No reservations needed.
  • Genting Palace . Western and Chinese cuisines. Serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This is also where the Gala Dinner takes place. Although it is inclusive, reservation is required.
  • The Pavilion Room . Family-style restaurant. In my opinion, of the three, this is the best. Serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Reservations required.

Both Genting Palace and the Pavilion offer full-course meals (appetizer, soup, main course, dessert). Drinks will be charged to your room.

star cruise virgo singapore price

Aside from these, there are specialty dining options! There’s the Taj offering Indian favorites, and Samurai serving delectable Japanese cuisine. Samurai have us our best gastronomic experience onboard. From the salmon and yellowtail (hamachi) sashimi as appetizer to teppanyaki as main course and matcha ice cream as dessert, that meal was scrumptious from start to finish.

Shore Excursions (Shorex)

This is the part where you can get off the ship and explore the city where it is docked.

In our case, it has three stops: Laoag, Kaohsiung, and Hong Kong. At every stop, they offer various pre-arranged tours called Shorex (shore excursions). For example, in Laoag, you have a choice among Laoag City Tour, Paoay Sand Dunes, Vigan Heritage Tour, and a couple more.

Other routes will have their own shorex offers, of course.

star cruise virgo singapore price

You can book a pre-arranged tour or do it on your own (DIY). It’s completely up to you.

  • If you book a shorex , you will be joining the rest of the cruise passengers who booked that tour. The great thing about it is that you have everything taken care of for you. You will have a tour guide and a few members of the crew will join the group. They will make sure you’re back at the port in time for sailing. Meals are also often included.
  • If you pull a DIY , you have complete control of your time and it’s going to be cheaper. However, make sure you’re back by the prescribed time because the ship will NOT wait for you.

Either way, you will be given a small sheet of paper upon disembarkation. READ IT, UNDERSTAND IT, KEEP IT. It will tell you what time you have to be back. It changes per stop. The boarding deadline in Taiwan is different from that in Hong Kong.

Room and Amenities

star cruise virgo singapore price

There are four types of accommodations onboard, from the cheapest to the fanciest: Inside Room, Ocean View Room, Balcony Room, and Suite. On our first time, we stayed in an Inside Room; this time in a Balcony Room. In both occasions, the room was always regularly maintained, with multiple cleanups within the day. Complimentary bottles of water also replenish every day.

If you have enough budget for an Inside Room, go for it. Don’t drop the idea of cruising just because you can’t afford the best rooms. In my experience, we spent most of our time outside the room — going on shore excursions, pigging out at the restaurants, and exploring other amenities.

Speaking of amenities, here are some that you can enjoy for FREE:

  • Gym . We packed gym clothes but we failed to use them because we would already average 15,000 steps per day just by joining the shore excursions.
  • Pool . Located on Deck 12.
  • Casino . In case you’re interested. Deck 7.

star cruise virgo singapore price

There’s also Duty Free shops on Decks 7 and 8, and a small store selling chips, chocolates, and biscuits (including Filipino products) on Deck 12 just next to the bar.

Spend your evenings watching a show at the Lido Theater. Some of these performances can be enjoyed for free, while others incur additional charges, including the for-adults-only show.

Gala Night and Dinner

Happens on the fifth night. It’s an event that begins with a cocktail party at the Grand Piazza on Deck 7, where the captain introduces the senior members of the crew. There are also musical performances. Overflowing wine! Loved it!

star cruise virgo singapore price

At around 6pm, enjoy a full-course dinner at the Genting Palace as a pianist serenades you with the endless ocean in the background.

If you intend to join this, make sure you’re dressed for the occasion. Dress Code: Elegant Casual. No shorts and no open toed footwear. For guys, prepare a collared shirt or blazer.

We know how important it is to you so we created a separate section for it.

Every passenger is given 1-hour complimentary internet access. If you need more, you’re gonna have to purchase a plan.

  • 24 hrs: HKS 116
  • 24 hrs (Social plan): HKD 54
  • Whole Cruise: HKD 505

Remember: you’re in the middle of the ocean, sharing the connection with the rest of the ship, so don’t expect lightning speeds, but it’s good enough for browsing, checking emails, social media, and even watching YouTube videos.

star cruise virgo singapore price

What we love the most about the Superstar Virgo is that it feels like home because of the staff. There are a lot of Filipinos working onboard: from the reception to the restaurants to the room services. I’m pretty sure there are more in the non-guest-facing departments, too. And it’s always wonderful to get to talk with them. They are proud of their work!

The rest of the crew is warm, friendly, and always willing to help. You don’t even need to ask for assistance. If they see you looking like you need something (info, direction, whatever), they will be the first to approach you with a smile.

Checking Out

  • On the day before you arrive in Manila, you will be requested to proceed to Deck 12 for a health check. You will just be filling out a form and pass by a thermal imager.
  • Pack your stuff before hitting the sack on your last night because they will collect your check-in baggage early in the morning of your last day. You can leave the bag or suitcase outside your door and someone will pick it up.
  • Don’t forget to settle the bill before disembarking. Know that a gratuity of HKD110 PER NIGHT is charged to every guest (except infants below 2yo). HKD120 per guest staying in a suite.

I believe I’ve covered everything! Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Vins and I were kind of bummed that the Manila season would only last until May 28 because we wanted to do it again with our parents! Here’s hoping they’d return to the Philippines next year!

We will be going this Monday. Availed the Seniors Sale which is a good price, I think. I just don’t like the fine print on the 100HKD fee. I’m thinking of passing up on the final Gala night, as I don’t plan on bringing along shoes and formal wear.. still thinking if we should check it out..

yoshke

Doesn’t need to be formal. Just make sure your shirt has collar. And closed shoes. :D The food is somewhat similar to the usual Genting Palace menu though. :) I was just there for the free wine. Haha

Iris Rivera

How about for women? Can’t we wear elegant open toed sandals? Thanks. Great article, by the way, very helpful!

Cielo

Hi. Do you know if they will have a cruise for July?

Hi Cielo, you can check on their website: starcruises.com :)

Archie

What time is the best time to arrive at Manila port if the boat will leave at 5pm? Is there a check in and boarding time? Thanks for the useful information!

Hi Archie, check in time is from 1pm – 3:30pm. :)

Angel

Hi! Ur blog is superrr helpful.. id like to ask Lang for the gala night, does it rally require evening gown?? We’re coming to the cruise this march Thankssss

Di naman kelangan evening gown. :)

Michelle

Hi! We’ll be traveling next month. I just want to ask how/where do we reserve seats in restaurants like Genting Palace and Pavilion? Thank you!

P.S. Does anyone know pano mode of transpo pag DIY trip sa Keelung and Ishigaki? Like malayo ba port sa city center and kung may mga taxis na near the ship?

Re Genting Palace and Pavilion, we just called the lobby/reception when we were there na.

Julia

Hi thanks for the infos. May I ask how much is the fee for the gala night? And is it buffet or fine dining? Thanks

Fine dining. If I remember correctly, included na yan sa binayaran.

Belle

Thank you for this! it makes me excited to avail there cruise. May I know what other charges I should expect that is not included in buying the ticket online? One that you mentioned is the gratuity, but I also read that there are port charges and others but doesn’t have a figure so I cannot calculate the estimated budget :)

Did you pay anything else?

In our experience, yung gratuity lang and ung wi-fi. :)

shine

Hi , This was very helpful. Regarding the gratuity, your blog says 100hkd which is much cheaper from what ive read from other blogs…. Other blogs said it was 500hkd…. Which is very expensive na… We will be travelling next month june 3 to 10. Can you help me in assuring how much really is the gratuity this year so that we can prepare…mahirap na kasi baka ma overspend kami sa pag labas namin sa hk and taiwan . Thank you so much and God bless you. Your blog really helped me naking our IT

Hi Shine, I just reached out to Star Cruises, and they said that the gratuity is now HKD 110 per night. (Last year, 100 lang.)

I think the confusion is kasi PER NIGHT ung HKD 110. So if 5 nights, that’s HKD550 for the whole trip.

We’ll update this post na rin. :)

Che

My fave travel blog site since forever! :)

For the shorex, which do you recommend, pre-arranged tour o DIY lang? We’ll be boarding this coming weekend na… :)

Thanks much!

DIY na lang, bes! Basta make sure makabalik kayo on time. :)

Minnie

This is such a very good and helpful post! :) I’m planning to treat my senior citizen parents for a trip like this but i really don’t have any idea if magkano magagastos? Would you be so kind to give me a range so alam ko kung ilan dapat ipunin ko :D and panu inaavail ung birthday promo in case? plan ko i-book sa birth month ng papa ko kase.

Thank you so much!

Hard to tell kasi ung na-experience namin ay ibang route (Taiwan-Hong Kong). Iba na yung routes ngayon.

You can do a mock booking sa Star Cruises website. On board, wala namang gastos na except ung gratuities and wifi, unless kakain kayo sa mga hindi free na restaurants.

Jamboleo

Hi. thank you for the info. it is of big help for first timers. may mga ilang questions lang ako, sana macover mo lahat. thank you in advance…

1. iba ba yun check-in luggage sa hand carry na maleta style din? kasi sa plane, usually, bukod sa check-in luggage eh allowed na magdala ng hand carry ang passenger provided na susunod sa sukat na itinalaga. or pareho lang sila? plan kasi namin na magdala ng 1 big check in luggage and 1 smaller hand carry luggage for each fam member..

2. dapat bang colored ang pa-print mo ng bio page ng passport o ok na ang clear copy na b&w?

3. halimbawa, gusto namin lagi mag dine sa genting or pavilion.. need ba magpa reserve in advance for the whole 5 nights or pa reserve na lang each morning? buffet ba sa mediterranean o set meal din like sa genting and pavilion?

4. should we still give tips (in hkd or php?) despite the gratuities?

5. even after having dined at genting or pavilion, can one still eat at mediterranean? in cases na, di maciadong nabusog or kung naging picky yung kid ko at di kinain yun food nya…

6. you mentioned, Every passenger is given 1-hour complimentary internet access… each day or for the whole stay?

7. me free maps ba na ibibigay sa ship ng mga ports na pupuntahan?

8. keri lang ba na bumalik agad sa barko pag short lang yun DIY na lakwatsa sa mga ports?

sowi kung sobrang daming tanong…ganun ka-ecited. hehe! super thank you in advance!

1. Let me get back to you on that. I’ll ask Star Cruises. Ako kasi ay isang maleta and isang backpack. Yung backpack as carry on, hinayaan naman. Di ko alam kapag maleta.

2. Oks lang B&W.

3. No idea if pwede mo ipareserve 5 straight nights. Yep, buffet sa mediterranean.

4. no need na.

5. Hmmm, not sure. Kasi when you enter a restaurant, they get your card to record that you have eaten there. Not sure if kapag nakakain ka na sa isa, pwede pa sa kabila.

6. whole stay.

7. wala sa amin.

thank you so much! hoping to bump into you in one of our travels. =)

Joey

Hi i would like to ask how did u pay for ur booking? Wla daw kasi cash payment online debit or credit card, is it safe? Thank u

It’s safe.

John

Very little info on SSVirgo here in Australia so would appreciate your help. 1. Do they offer a drinks package on 5nt ex Manila and cost? 2. Do they have set dinner times, e.g. 6pm and 8pm or is it anytime dining and how do you make reservations? 3. Would very much like to attend the Gala Dinner. How do I book for this?. Many thanks.

1. I reached out to Star Cruises and they said that special offers such as drink, tour, or shopping packages are sometimes offered onboard or via shop.starcruises.com. I wasn’t able to get the costs though.

2. You can make reservations onboard, maybe on your first day. Just visit the restaurant you want to book. Or if you booked via agency, you can course it through them too. There are at least 3-4 hour specific dining times (breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, supper) for each restaurant. Dinner is from 6pm-9pm.

3. Upon embarking, you can go straight to the restaurant that you want to book and reserve. The gala dinner happens at all key restaurants onboard and each has its own gala dinner menu. But the best for the occasion, I think, is Genting Palace. The program happens at the Grand Piazza on Deck 7.

ces pe

just take hold of the Star Navigator…it will take you to the whole ship’s entertainment..and restaurant’s schedule…it is give in your doorstep just before retiring…enjoy the most of your stay…tour and tour around..it will get you there

no limit as to baggage if you embark or disembark in MaNILA…I mean balikan..

Is it correct that if you dine in the restaurant you cannot then go up to the buffet for a bit more? Other lines have no such restriction but I have read that you will be charged on SuperStar Virgo.

Hi John, yes, that’s true. Years ago, there was no such restriction. But when we cruised again last year, they have started swiping the card when entering a dining establishment to check if you’ve had your meal elsewhere for that dining period. The good news is, there are a lot of dining periods in a day: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, supper. So you just have to wait a bit more and you’ll be able to enter the buffet area again.

Caleb

Hi may i know the ideal deck if we will be travelling with our 7 year-old son? What about for the senior citizens?

Hi Caleb, i think the deck hardly matters because there are several elevators naman. What’s more important if you have seniors is your distance from the elevators. For example, kami, yung room na naassign na amin was a bit far from the elevators so mahabang lakad every time we go out. According to Star Cruises, when you book with an agent, you can request for a room na closer to the elevators. :)

Christie

Do you know if there are any restrictions on bringing our own food like bread or chips, fruit? Just for snacking in our room. Thanks!

Hi Christie, okay lang daw basta hindi alcohol.

Vicencio Ang

I would like to seek your help i was booked and paid for a cruise for superstar virgo going to vietnam dec 24 -29 2018 my problem my passport is 6 months valid which is a problem i really dont know what happened on the process and booking stage i already send a copy of my passport before booking but now im having a problem on the validity of my passport staff of star cruise should counter double check everything before booking its a hassle for me! Hotline staff investigate on the matter it should be urgently but until now no reply yet

Hi Vicencio, medyo di ko po naintindihan yung problem. Nagbook po kayo pero less than 6 months na lang ung passport validity? Saan po kayo nagbook? Online or via travel agency?

Shirley

Hi, If you missed ba iyong online shore excursion nila, will they offer on board shore excursion? Wala na kasi when I check 3 days before. Were l eaving on the 24th. Thanks

Hi Shirley, ang alam ko pwede pa ring magbook onboard, pero di ko sure. :)

Patsy

Hi, We are considering Superstar Virgo/Explorer Dream around New Zealand Dec 2019. We do not have gratuities in our country, is it compulsory on this ship? We are a “no smoking” country, can we get inside cabins that do not smell of smoke? In other revues it says ship does not cater for ‘westerners’, now wondering if we should go on the ship.

Debbie

Hi po.. First time mag-c-cruise.. Magkano po ba lahat2(pati offshore ex. Di po DIY) ng gastos po pra makaprepare kami.. Balak ko kc cruise for honeymoon.

Jade

Starcruise – 4D3N Superstar Virgo Cruise from Singapore to Phuket, Langkawi in Balcony Class

Starcruise Phuket Langkawi

Ah…cruises…one of our favourite ways of having a holiday and vacation. There are so many benefits and advantages of going on a cruise

1. All prices inclusive. That means to say, you have 6 meals a day (2 snacks, 3 meals and a supper), use of the pool which includes the jacuzzi, sauna, gym, cinema, entertainment shows in the evening, game shows, art and craft, sunrise, sunset. ALL INCLUSIVE in one price! But of course, if you want some red/white wine or in room service, you’d have to top up. Essentially, one price gives you all the entertainment that the cruise ship offers.

2. No need for plans. That’s right! All programmes have been planned out for you each day. This really makes for a good holiday where you can just unwind, join in the programmes if you want to and skip if you just want to enjoy the sea breeze and sounds of the ocean. Even if you go for shore excursions, the options are there for you to follow what the cruise has planned for you (usually at exhorbitant prices) but you get gist ya? No planning required. Just follow the programmes and hop in and out as you wish.

3. Value for money. As a typical kiasu (scared to lose out) Singaporean, the all expenses paid for trip is value for money. For one price, I get to travel, stay in a ‘hotel’ and enjoy its facilities, eat as much as I want (thats where I really get the value back) and enjoy the shows in the evening that includes magic shows, music and dance, acrobatics/circus among others.

4. Getting back to nature – oceanliner style. You really do get to enjoy the wonders of God’s creation by joining a cruise. You can wake up each morning and enjoy the marvellous sunrise, end the evening with views of spectacular sunsets. You also get to star gaze in the night without bright city lights obscuring the view. The calming sounds of the waves and vast limitless ocean views really does soothes the soul. You could even catch a glimpse of the dolphins swimming with the cruise ship!

With that as the backdrop, Kate and I chose to celebrate our anniversary onboard the Superstar Virgo (from Starcruise) for a 4D3N cruise to Phuket and Langkawi (from Signapore).

We paid about $700 each for the balcony class room. This means that you can enjoy views of the ocean and port right in your room. Remember, there is always ongoing deals with your credit card. Usually it is with UOB and Citibank, do check this out with your local dealers. We got a 50% off through the cards.

Essentially, the trip was a relaxing and rejuvenating one. So we’ll just take you through some of the highlights of the trip!

Bought Kate a music singing balloon – Love Machine and we started to take pictures of it throughout the ship. Take a look at the pictures…

First thing you do when you board the ship – EAT! We had our lunch at the Mediterranean (deck 12) and enjoyed some pasta with meatballs. As the ship slipped off, we immerse ourselves in the pool (parthenon pool) and waved goodbye to Singapore. We also slipped in and out of the jacuzzi and enjoyed the outdoor slide (part of it even overhangs out to the ocean!). Before long, it was dinner time! We chose to have dinner at the Chinese-themed restaurant – Pavilion (deck 6). The chinese food was not bad i must say.

Then we headed for the show of the night. It was Terry Parade (the Lido at Deck 7) performing juggling acts. He was good! Juggling things like ping-pong balls and plastic bags! Also on the same deck as you enter or leave the Lido is the casino, be wary!

We caught the sunrise this morning and enjoyed dim sum breakfast back at the Pavilion. The picture house (deck 8) was showing Tale of Desperaux and we caught the movie there. Lunch was at Bella Vista (Deck 6) where western fanfare was served. We had a bottle of wine (too much) and enjoyed the beef and sandwich there.

We were alongside Phuket in the afternoon and we got on a tour to visit the cashew nut factory. The workers there work really hard and carefully retrieve each cashew nut from its ‘shell’ to ensure that it is whole. Any cashew nut that is not retrieved as a whole, will be considered ‘defective’ and fetch a lower price. We also got to taste the different flavours available, wasabi was one of our favourite.

At night, we headed out to Patong beach, saw tonnes of fake bags and made our way back to the ship.

There is usually a gala night for every cruise where one is expected to dress up to the nines. This was the day. Beside lunch at Pavilion and snacks at Taverna (Deck 13 – overlooking the pool) we joined in the “Win lose or draw” gameshow and got to make a paper necklace for ourselves! (Proud look).

For dinner, you could choose to go any one of the 3 dedicated restaurants. We chose our dinner to be at the Samurai Restaurant (Deck 8) where we enjoyed the sushi, tempura, beef/chicken tepanyaki. It was a really classy place and guests were treated like VIPs.

We enjoyed Maestro & Music at Lido for the night where dance and music were performed.

Too soon, it was day 4 and our last day before we head home to Singapore. Again, we joined in the programme for the day and included Dancexercise (healthy way to get back into shape after all that eating), Box or Bucks ( whereby you answer a question by standing at the correct place. Last person standing wins. Much like million dollar drop just that the person moves instead of the money and people are ‘dropped out’ if they choose to stand at the wrong place. Kate won btw! We received some starcruise vouchers and exchanged them for some souvenirs. Cool…) as well as mini golf!

If you’re looking for hotel stays in Singapore before setting sail, we have arranged for the best hotel deals in Singapore right here!

He says: If I can afford it, I would cruise for every holiday to every continent! That’s how enjoyable cruises are!

She says: For the first time, I dont have to plan for the trip and I get to really chill out and relax. With the credit card discount, it was certainly a steal.

A 4-Day Cruise on Superstar Virgo

Cruise , Singapore

A 4-Day Cruise on Superstar Virgo

My family went on our first cruise adventure on Superstar Virgo .  We took the 4 days 3 nights cruise to Penang and Phuket which departed from Singapore Cruise Centre on Sunday afternoon and returned on Wednesday evening.

All aboard!

We boarded the ship at about noon after checking in our bags, collecting our boarding passes, clearing immigration, and surrendering our passports to cruise officials. After a welcome drink at the lobby (a treat specially for balcony room guests), we headed straight to our room.  As there were six of us, including my mom, we had to take 2 rooms.   I booked the rooms several months ahead, so I got a 40% discount for them.

star cruise virgo singapore price

We managed to have a meal and explore many parts of the ship even before it departed.  The lobby was really grand with three golden horses, and glass elevators.  Shore excursion could also be booked at the reception at the lobby.

Superstar Virgo Cruise

There was an Activity Centre where guests made reservations for activities. There were also a library, an arcade, an aquaswim, a gym and a miniature golf area at the roof deck.  The Galaxy of the Stars had a dance floor with live music, food and drinks.

Superstar Virgo Cruise

Just before we departed, we had to attend a compulsory safety briefing.  Then, at about 4pm, the ship set sail.

Superstar Virgo Cruise

Shortly after we departed, it was already time for dinner.  There were several dining options.  Some of them were free, while others were chargeable.  Most had a smart casual dress code.  Since we had $200 dining credits for each balcony room, we ate at “The Taj” on our first evening.  It had a halal Indian buffet spread.  On our second evening, we enjoyed a barbecue dinner at the Mediterranean Terrace.

Superstar Virgo Cruise Dining

Most of the time, we ate at the Mediterranean Buffet and Terrace, which was free and did not require us to dress up.  It had a good buffet spread and good view of the sea.  They even had a separate buffet line serving vegetarian cuisine.

Superstar Virgo Cruise Dining - Mediterranean Buffet

Since our meals at the Mediterranean buffet and terrace were free, we initially used up our dining credits on drinks, but we later realised that the Swensen’s ice cream sundaes at Gelato was more worth it than the drinks.

Superstar Virgo Cruise Ice Cream

Swimming Pools

Apart from eating, there were a lot of activities in store for guests.  Everyday, we received a newsletter listing all the activities for the day.  Some were free, and others were chargeable.

One of the free activities was swimming, something that my kiddos enjoy.  There were two swimming pools, one for adults, and the other for kids.

The Neptune’s Wet and Wild (below) is definitely for kids.  My girls enjoyed playing at Neptune’s Wet and Wild.

Superstar Virgo Cruise - Kids Pool

The Panthenon Pool was 2.4m deep! This was definitely not for kids. I wonder why they made the pool so deep.   There was also a large and windy water sliding tube and four jacuzzis.  The water in the jacuzzi was warm and very relaxing.

Superstar Virgo Cruise Pantheon Pool

There were different shows every evening at the Lido after dinner.  The first night was a magic show.  The second night was a show put up by the crew, and the third night was a show put up by a professional entertainment group. The Lido theatre was so packed that a number of guests had to stand throughout the show.

Superstar Virgo Cruise Shows

The magician also put up a daring stunt for us at the swimming pool.

Gala Dinner

View from the Balcony

The best part about staying in a balcony room was the sea view. We could enjoy it without even getting out of bed.  At night, it was so dark that you could not even tell where the sea ended and sky began.   It was so nice just to chill out on the balcony chair watching the starry sky and enjoying the fresh breeze.

I was especially in awe by the beautiful sunrise and sunset.   As our balcony room was on the port side, we got to see sunrise when we headed north to Phuket and sunset when we headed south to Singapore.

Can you tell which photo is of a sunset and which photo is of a sunrise?

Superstar Virgo Cruise Sunrise

Well, if you guessed the first one to be a sunrise and the second one to be a sunset, then you are absolutely right!

As we had gone during the December school holidays, there was also Nickelodeon at Sea onboard Superstar Virgo.  Find out more about what fun things my kids did with Nickelodeon at Sea .

Rajani

A very nice blog with beautiful pictures. We are going on Virgo in March and booked a balcony cabin but we haven’t seen any $200 credit. Will that be given to us when we chech-in?

admin

Thank you Rajani, I am glad you like it. The dining credit was stored in a card issued to every passenger upon check-in. Enjoy your trip!

Sameer

I just wana book my trip so can u help me from where i can book my cruise trip and rooms?

Hi Sameer. You can either book through starcruises.com or find an authorized travel agent. I booked mine through Chan Brothers.

shalini

lovely write up with great inputs . I am travelling with my family in march. Just few questions . We all are vegetarian, would it be challenge to get food options. ? when did you book for the Gala Dinner ? I have heard that all the meals are included on cruise ..so this 200 meal credit is what we are getting is extra rt ?. Hope to heard from you soon . TIA

Hi Shalini. It’s not a challenge at all for vegetarians. There’s quite a decent spread of Indian vegetarian dishes at the Mediterranean Buffet restaurant and you don’t have to pay for it. Even the Gala dinner had a vegetarian option when I was there. There is a specific time to book the Gala dinner which they will inform you. Go early to book as there were two dining timings to choose. The later one was quite late for my kids. I think it starts about 8.30-9pm. The dining credit is extra and only for those staying in balcony class. The amount is lesser for shorter 3D2N cruise. You can use it at restaurants that are not free, or on special drinks and snacks.

Atul

exceptional coverage of the cruise you have given. I want to know which all activities are free on Cruise and on which other activities one has to pay

Hi Atul, there are lots of free activities onboard the Superstar Virgo. Apart from the swimming pools and jacuzzis, the gym, the evening shows, and the magic shows are free. Participation in certain games and activities are free as well.

Junaidha

Hi need to check is the food halal?

Rosie

Hi there, According to the muslim staff there, the ingredients used at the restaurants are all from halal suppliers except for the Chinese restaurant. While the other restaurants offer the option for guests to purchase alcoholic drinks, the Taj, the only halal-certified restaurant, does not.

rkl

Hi. You mentioned about making reservations for the gala dinner and some of the activities..donwe do that upon check-in (ie bording) or can we do that even days ahead?

Hi, You can only make reservations for the gala dinner onboard. There will be a specific timing to make reservations for the gala dinner. This timing will be indicated in the programme sheet for the day. Interested guests will be asked to go to an auditorium and will be given a queue number. You then wait for your turn to choose the restaurant and food. Guests in balcony room are given an earlier timing to make reservations. There are two dinner slots, the earlier slot is more popular.

Saifudin

Is the Mediterranean Buffet Halal?

Rosie

Hi there, when we went on the cruise, the Muslim staff informed us that the ingredients at the Mediterranean buffet were all from halal sources, but because guests could order alcoholic beverages, the restaurant is not halal certified.

People also ask about singapore tour packages.

Between November and February is the best time to visit Singapore because the city is all lit up for Christmas, New Year, and Chinese New Year. It's advisable to book your Singapore tour package well in advance, especially if you plan to travel during peak seasons.

Singapore Botanic Gardens, Universal Studios Singapore, Singapore Flyer, Gardens by the Bay, Sentosa , and other well-known locations are among the must-sees while in Singapore. A large number of these are included in the Singapore packages.

In addition to all the amazing things about this country, food has a special place in my heart. You should sample some of the delicious food in Singapore, such as fish head curry, satay, char kuay teow, Hokkien prawn mee, barbecued stingray, and Hainanese chicken rice.

Orchard Road, Marina Bay, Chinatown, Little India, VivoCity, Haji Lane, Clarke Quay, IMM, Bugis Street, Holland Village, City Plaza, Lucky Plaza, Scape Underground, Anchorpoint Shopping Center, Tanglin Mall Bazaar, Mustafa Center, Far East Plaza, Pasarbella, and The Editor's Market are some of the best places to shop in Singapore.

Given its wealth of attractions and activities, Singapore is undoubtedly the perfect place to spend a honeymoon. You can select a Singapore travel package from the SingaporeStarCruise.com website to enhance your honeymoon experience.

Singapore is the ideal place to take a family vacation. There are many of interesting locations for the kids to visit, but there are also lot of activities for you to do in the countryside. You can choose from a variety of Singapore packages on the SingaporeStarCruise.com website. You can select the greatest bargain by going through the list.

Yes, they do. The high commission does not accept walk-in applications, thus they must apply for an E-visa. One must have a passport that is valid for at least six months in order to apply for the visa. One can review the list of required documents to submit with a visa application. In addition to searching for Singapore packages, you should prepare your visa in advance for easy journeys to Singapore.

Malaysia is part of the visa-free regime with Singapore for short visits. This means that Malaysian passport holders typically do not need a visa for visits of up to 30 days in Singapore for purposes such as tourism, social visits, or business meetings.

A Day in the High Sea

Star Cruises is the eighteenth largest cruise line in the world after Carnival Corporation, Royal Caribbean Cruises and 15 others. Star Cruises dominates the Asia-Pacific market and is owned by Genting Hong Kong. The company is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Singapore Exchange.

The luxurious grand staircase of the SuperStar Virgo Cruises. Photo taken via official Facebook page.

Star Cruises is credited with almost single-handedly developing the cruise industry in the Asia-Pacific region. Its foray into the global shipping market has allowed it to tap into lucrative and more mature markets in North America and Europe. Its services cater to Asian passengers as well as to North Americans, Europeans and Australians interested in Asian destinations.

We were fortunate to enjoy Star Cruise Virgo where we enjoyed every detail of the ship for a first-time cruiser like us.

We would like to help you enjoy the star cruises too so we thought of answering some questions you may want to consider.

If you want to book a cruise at Star Cruise Virgo or Any of Star Cruises, you may check availability and promos here http://promos.starcruises.com/ or https://booking.starcruises.com/CheckPromo.aspx. Star Cruises sail around Asian region. You may want to visit a visa free to Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and our very own Philippines.

Inside the cabin room. Photo via official website.

The ship has a lot of cabins you may choose from and rate depends on the area.

Our cabin was the balcony where we enjoyed the view of the Navy-blue ocean we consider heaven. Also, it offers a generous outdoor space, a separate living area and plenty of luxurious touches, such as ensuite bathrooms, mini-fridges and flat-screen televisions.

Other cabin options include Oceanview cabins, Inside cabins, and suites as well.

The Boston Lobster and the Choux Swan Berry Chantilly .

We consider Super Star Virgo for a high quality of their cuisine. On board, we enjoyed our barbeque during sunset along with other cruiser. The ship has a lot of specialty restaurants and restaurants that serve mostly Asian foods which is no surprise on our palate. During my stay, I got to try some seafood delights such as the Green Mussels, Boston Lobster, and Sweet Prawn for lunch. For dessert, I had the Choux Swan Berry Chantilly and Double Dutch Chocolate Cheese Squares.

The ship serves breakfast, lunch and dinner indoor and outdoor which is perfect indulgence to satisfy your craving day or night. We recommend for you to try everything they serve and to order a lot of their Guava juice.

Entertainment

Spectacular magic performance witnessed by other guests boarding Star Cruises.

While on board, you too will get the chance to enjoy series of shows. Our team was able to witness a magic show. There was another show we failed to attend but base on what we heard, it was also worth to see.

Chilling on the outdoor pool.

The ship has available fitness equipment’s for work out buff cruisers. If you don’t want to miss your daily work out, no need to worry because there are equipment’s available on board. You can also do your cardio while running outside grasping fresh salty air and attaining a good tan during shore excursion. The craft also carry an outdoor pool, Jacuzzi which we lost count, Basketball and Golf ground and spa treatments. If shopping is your definition of convenience, they have a duty free and stores inside where you can buy “Pasalubong” after.

Indoor pool at the SuperStar Virgo Cruises for those who wanted to relax after roaming around the ship. Photo taken via official website.

One of our favorite was the fact that you get to bond with your family while on board. The ship has recreational room and play area for kids to which we think parents can also share. The library and writing room was what we like the most. It was quiet, the books are enticing and the set up was calming. What is more interesting than reading and writing facing the blue ocean anyway? It was truly kick back and relax experience for the family.

I must say that I have experienced a 100% unbelievable level of service. One of our colleagues forgot her camera while using the powder room. One of the cabin crew found and declared the camera. With us almost hopeless and feeling helpless, the crew assisted us all through security office to help us find our missing valuable. Imagine that it was not the quality of service we’ve come to expect but the ship was equipped with CCTV that will help you find your precious belongings.

Added to service, the ship is equipped with elevators which will take you to anywhere you like with this 13-decked craft. Guests can remain active without negotiating to the stairs!

If that’s not cool enough and you want to experience a mix of cosmopolitan cultures Star Cruises’ SuperStar Virgo is recommended for you! Cabin crews from different part of Asia are very accommodating and welcoming. Facilities are functioning very well and Onboarding and offboarding was well ordered.
