The occasion also marked Star Cruises’ second inaugural homeport in Northern China this year, preceded by SuperStar Virgo’s five-week homeport season in Dalian and to be followed by her debut homeport in the coastal city of Qingdao later this year.
‘The inaugural homeport deployment of SuperStar Virgo in Tianjin is instrumental in building the profile of Genting Cruise Lines as a key industry leader in Asia, as well as to lay a solid foundation for the market development of both Star Cruises and Dream Cruises in China and across the region,’ said Kent Zhu, president of Genting Cruise Lines.
Thematic cruises for Asian travellers
Ang Moo Lim, president of Star Cruises said, ‘As the pioneer of cruising in Asia with 25 years of experience in the region, Star Cruises is committed to engage Asian travellers with thematic cruises that best cater to their needs.’
SuperStar Virgo’s homeport deployment in Tianjin is timed with the peak season of family travels in China – the Golden Week holiday and autumn trips in October.
