‘We are very excited to unveil the first-ever "Jewels of the South China Sea”, a new itinerary pioneered by Star Cruises that connects four scenic cities in Asia - Hong Kong, Manila, Laoag and Kaohsiung - across a 6 day/5 night cruise. In 2013 and 2015, Star Cruises launched the Hong Kong – Kaohsiung itinerary, which was extremely well-received by travellers from Hong Kong; in 2017 we are taking this itinerary up a notch and extending the journey to Manila - the East-meets-West cultural melting pot - as well as Laoag, known for its natural landscape and white sand beaches,' said Ang Moo Lim, president of Star Cruises.
'We look forward to collaborating with travel and tourism institutions in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Philippines on the promotion of this itinerary to international tourists as the hottest new cruising choice,' he added.
Anthony Lau, executive director of the HKTB commented, 'The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) is very excited about SuperStar Virgo’s latest itinerary, featuring Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Philippines as a triple homeport.'
Lau added, 'This deployment reflects the effectiveness of Asia Cruise Cooperation in enhancing the development of cruise tourism in the region, and the benefits it has for the member ports through their strong ties and mutual support. The HKTB looks forward to welcoming more cruise visitors to Hong Kong and showing them the best holiday experiences the city offers.'
