Star Cruises to triple retail space onboard SuperStar Virgo



HONG KONG. Retail space will triple to 562 sq m 
on-board SuperStar Virgo, the largest ship in Star Cruises’ Asian fleet, as part of a big upgrade set to take place in January. China Duty Free Group manages the duty free business on Star Cruises’ vessels. 

The ship will undergo a three-week dry-dock renovation from 5 to 29 January, during which the 13-deck vessel will have an upgrade to cabins, retail, hotel, dining and recreational facilities. 

Star Cruises Chief Operating Officer William Ng said: “This US$19.7 million refurbishment of SuperStar Virgo is a reflection of our continuous drive to grow in Asia. This will further cement Star Cruises’ leading position in the Asia-Pacific cruise industry. SuperStar Virgo will be on her home-port deployment in Hong Kong from April to October next year. Domestic travelers as well as those from China, Taiwan, Korea and Japan are expected to flock to Hong Kong next year to enjoy the top notch accommodation, shopping, leisure, entertainment and dining options available on this ship.” 

SuperStar Virgo is currently home-ported in Singapore, offering itineraries to Penang, Phuket, Malacca and Port Klang. From 2 April to 28 October, 2014, SuperStar Virgo will be on her six-month Hong Kong homeport deployment, bringing passengers to Keelung (Taipei), Taichung and Kaohsiung in Taiwan, Sanya in Hainan and Halong Bay in Vietnam.

Star Cruises raising funds for Sabah Kidney Society

Kota Kinabalu: Star Cruises has set aside a substantial number of cabins on three of its cruises and donating all the proceeds to the Sabah Kidney Society (SKS).
"Recently, we have sponsored 100 breast cancer survivors from Kinabalu Breast Cancer Support Association (Kinabalu Pink Ribbon), their families and caregivers to join us for a free cruise.
"Our company has always bee
n committed to giving back to the community. We have organised various charitable activities, supporting different causes in the respective communities across Asia.
"We are more than happy to help raise funds for the Sabah Kidney Society this time," said Star Cruises Vice President, Edward Johann Leong.
SKS is a non-governmental organisation and a non-profit association.
They provide quality and affordable haemodialysis treatment to end-stage renal failure patients by heavily subsidising the costs of these treatments.
At present, they have 36 patients, 10 machines and eight full-time staff.
Apart from providing treatment, SKS also organises preventative education programmes, from public forums to create awareness on kidney ailments, early detection and treatment, to exhibitions, distribution of organ donation leaflets and providing urine screening, blood glucose tests and blood pressure checks in urban and rural areas.
"It is heart-warming to know that there are corporations out there who still care, and Star Cruises has stepped up to the mantle by generously donating all proceeds from the cabins set aside for this purpose.
We are very grateful," said SKS Chairman Chung Kee Hung.
He also seeks public support in helping these patients.
"Contributions in any amount are always welcome and will be channelled towards the running of the dialysis centre."
The three charity cruises will be on SuperStar Aquarius on Dec 21, Jan 4 2014 and Jan 18 2014.
Donations and booking information for these special cruises can be obtained from SKS Secretary, Rosalind Lau, at 016-8401872 or the SKS office at 088-219901.

The 75,338gt ship will gain upgraded cabins, retail, hotel, dining and recreational facilities. More than 270 balcony cabins will be remodeled with a touch of what Star Cruises called 'urban luxury.' This minimalist décor blends contemporary design and luxurious escapism, the company said.

The expansion and addition of duty-free operator China Duty Free, jewelry and watch specialist Canopus, luxury leather goods retailer Milan Station and souvenir shop Ports O’ Call will offer more choices of perfume, cosmetics, fashion accessories, luxury and lifestyle products from around the world.
The ship also offers 11 food and beverage outlets, from the casual Taverna to Palazzo for Italian food, Chinese cuisine at Noble House and Pavilion Restaurant and Southeast Asian food at Blue Lagoon. Following the dry-dock, various dining promotions will be offered.  
Currently based in Singapore, SuperStar Virgo will redeploy to its new Hong Kong home-port from April to October next year.
'Domestic travelers as well as those from China, Taiwan, Korea and Japan are expected to flock to Hong Kong next year to enjoy the top notch accommodation, shopping, leisure, entertainment and dining options available on this ship,' said Star Cruises COO William Ng.
