Star Cruises ship to homeport in Manila

Star Cruises, one of the leading cruise lines in the Asia Pacific, has announced the first-ever homeport deployment of SuperStar Virgo to Manila, providing another option for the booming Philippines outbound tourism industry. Featuring 6 Day/5 Night cruises departing from Manila, SuperStar Virgo’s itinerary is the perfect opportunity for Filipinos to enjoy exciting ports of call including; Laoag, the capital of Ilocos Norte, Philippines, featuring Spanish colonial buildings, baroque churches and white-sand beaches; Kaohsiung, the largest southern port city in Taiwan, a centre of Chinese culture and cuisine; Hong Kong, a metropolis world famous for shopping, dining, entertainment and nightlife.

Ang Moo Lim, President, Star Cruises said, “Star Cruises was the first major cruise line to recruit Filipinos 23 years ago for our cruise ships and now we are pleased to be the first international cruise line to welcome Filipinos on board Superstar Virgo as our guests from our homeport in Manila. Worldwide, nearly 25 million people have enjoyed a cruise in 2016 and we are extending this opportunity for Filipinos to join their ranks from Manila – and at an affordable price.”

 

Benito C Bengzon, JR, Under Secretary for Department of Tourism welcomed the move of Star Cruises. He said, “The Philippine Department of Tourism extends its warmest congratulations to Star Cruises as it launches its latest programme. We are confident that inclusion of the Philippines in the itinerary of SuperStar Virgo will help strengthen the country’s position as a competitive cruise destination in the region.”
