STAR Cruises’ SuperStar Aquarius will be deployed to Sanya in November, where it will be homeported for the coming season.
The five-month deployment will see SuperStar Aquarius offering two- and three-night cruises to Vietnam’s Danang, Halong Bay and Hue, operating out of Sanya.
Michael Goh, Star Cruises senior vice president, sales, said: “Star Cruises’ Sanya-homeported itineraries and diverse shore excursions will appeal to the mainland Chinese, as well as regional and international holidaymakers.”
“We believe that most of our passengers will come from the mainland, but we also expect strong demand from markets such as India, Japan, Russia, South-east Asia and Chinese Taipei.”
Goh added that the company had seen an increase in mainland Chinese customers, “as most of our ships call at destinations that they like, such as Thailand and Malaysia”.
