In conjunction with the current homeport deployment of the Star Voyager in Hong Kong, StarCruises, part of StarDream Cruises, has renewed its collaboration with the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals. Building on their successful 2023 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) partnership, this year’s summer charity cruise welcomes over 20 underprivileged families, comprising more than 60 guests. They will set sail from the conveniently located Ocean Terminal for a memorable 3 Day / 2 Night cruise to Kaohsiung.
“As part of our ongoing CSR initiatives in the communities where we homeport and visit, we are pleased to once again collaborate with the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals in Hong Kong,” said Michael Goh, President of StarDream Cruises. “This meaningful cruise journey aims to bring joy and lasting memories to families in need. Cruise travel is more than a leisure experience – it also helps children broaden their horizons and gain valuable life knowledge.”
Both adults and children really enjoy the activities on the cruise. One of the participants from Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, Chong expressed her happiness at the opportunity for her daughter to learn how to wear a life jacket, and it was a rare chance to be a little steward and tour the palace guest rooms. She was truly delighted!
An Educational and Entertaining Charity Initiative
This special CSR initiative offers children of all ages from the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals a unique opportunity to learn and have fun aboard the ship. The “Summer Voyage” features the interactive “Little Dreamers” experience, where children discover dining etiquette, shipboard knowledge and life jacket safety through hands-on activities and guided tours. In the “Little Captain” session, young participants step into the role of ship officers to explore basic nautical skills and safety procedures. Meanwhile, the “Little Butler” workshop lets children experience hospitality firsthand by learning dining etiquette and service techniques.
Enjoying a Sea Vacation and Exploring

Back on board, families enjoyed a wealth of entertainment and dining options, creating precious bonding moments and discovering new experiences from ship to shore.
