StarCruises’s Star Voyager will homeport in both Bangkok and Hong Kong in 2025, expanding cruise options for travellers across Asia. The ship’s deployment from Laem Chabang Port near Bangkok and Kai Tak Cruise Terminal in Hong Kong marks a strategic step in strengthening regional cruise tourism.
In Thailand, Star Voyager will operate two round-trip cruises from Laem Chabang on April 22 and May 7, 2025. Each sailing includes port calls at Ko Samui and Singapore. This development supports the growth of cruise tourism in Thailand by boosting inbound passenger traffic and increasing accessibility for local and regional travellers. A welcome event was held at Laem Chabang, attended by representatives from the Tourism Authority of Thailand, government officials, and StarCruises leadership. The ship enters service following a US$50 million refurbishment.
Star Voyager will homeport in Hong Kong from June 27 to August 31, 2025. The summer programme includes multiple two-, three-, and five-night sailings to destinations in Taiwan and Japan.
Cruises to Taiwan feature a three-night itinerary to Kaohsiung and Penghu on June 29, July 13, and August 10, and a two-night itinerary to Kaohsiung on July 2, July 16, and August 13.
Cruises to Japan include a five-night itinerary to Ishigaki and Naha on July 6 and August 3, and a five-night sailing to Naha and Ishigaki on July 20 and August 17. A combined itinerary to both Taiwan and Japan includes a five-night cruise to Ishigaki, Keelung, and Penghu on July 27 and August 24. In addition, the ship will operate two-night weekend cruises departing every Friday from June 27 to August 29, offering a short getaway at sea.
“We’re excited to homeport the Star Voyager in Bangkok as we introduce the revitalized StarCruises brand in Thailand,” said Michael Goh, president of StarDream Cruises. “We are (also) proud to return to Hong Kong, a city that holds a special place in StarCruises’s history and heritage.”
