AFTER month-long refurbishment works, Star Cruises’ SuperStar Libra has returned to Penang and will embark on two new cruises to Myanmar later this year.
The vessel will sail from Penang to Krabi-Yangon-Phuket on May 26 and August 11 this year on 7D6N cruises, calling on Yangon for the first time.
At Yangon, passengers can make shore excursions to visit the Bogyoke Aung San Museum, dine at House of Memories and shop for Burmese gems.
“We are excited to bring SuperStar Libra to Yangon for the first time and explore its top tourist sights, such as the reputed gold-plated Shwedagon Pagoda, the National Races Village and Thanlyin morning market, to name just a few,” said Michael Goh, senior vice president of sales, Star Cruises.
Refurbishment works on the 677-cabin cruise ship covered upgrades on its restaurants, entertainment and recreational venues, and the 111m2 newly-designed retail area where passengers may purchase duty free merchandise including designer handbags, perfumes and accessories. SuperStar Libra was also given new hull artwork.
