StarCruises and Dream Cruises celebrate spectacular official launch

StarCruises alongside Dream Cruises has officially relaunched its legacy  with a grand ceremonial event aboard the Star Voyager in Singapore. This marks the  beginning of a thrilling new chapter for both brands, which has over 30 years of history, now  revitalized with a fresh and innovative vision for the future of cruising.

The launch of both brands coincided with the Star Voyager‘s maiden voyage under the  StarCruises banner with a US$ 50 million refit of the ship, sailing out from the Singapore Cruise  Centre (SCC). Singapore will serve as a key homeport as well as a destination, alongside  Jakarta, Melaka, Bangkok, and Ho Chi Minh City, fostering tourism across these cities, while  offering passengers flexible embarkation options from multiple ports and countries.

The milestone event, celebrating the official launch of StarCruises and Dream Cruises, and  the inaugural sailing of the Star Voyager, was officiated by both Ms. Jean Ng, Assistant Chief  Executive – Experience Development Group, Singapore Tourism Board and Ms. Jacqueline  Tan, CEO, Singapore Cruise Centre, alongside StarCruises and Dream Cruises’ CEO and  Executive Director, Mr. Colin Au and its President, Mr. Michael Goh, together with the senior  management team.

“We are thrilled and honoured to return to our roots with the launch of the revitalized  StarCruises and Dream Cruises brands, offering an enhanced cruising experience. To  celebrate this milestone, we are also excited to introduce the Star Voyager, as she embarks  on her maiden voyage from Singapore, exploring the wonders of Southeast Asia,” said Mr.  Michael Goh, President of StarCruises and Dream Cruises. 

“Star Voyager’s seasonal homeporting in Singapore, offering several new itineraries across  Southeast Asia, marks an exciting milestone for our cruise industry. Her addition bolsters our  variety of cruise offerings in Singapore, underscoring the strong confidence in Singapore’s 

flourishing cruise industry. As one of Asia’s leading cruise hubs, we remain committed to  strengthening our cruise offerings for locals and international visitors to enjoy,” said Jean Ng,  Assistant Chief Executive, Experience Development Group, Singapore Tourism Board.

Ms Jacqueline Tan, SCC CEO said “Singapore Cruise Centre is extremely pleased to welcome  back StarCruises to homeport at our Terminal again. This feels like something of a  homecoming since their first ship – Langkapuri Star Aquarius – was homeported with us 32  years ago, back in 1993. Our Harbourfront Cruise terminal location also provides Star Voyager  passengers seamless access to the Precinct’s rich amenities with over 1 million sqft of retail  and F&B space, a convenient multi-modal transportation hub for easy access to Singapore’s  many attractions, including Sentosa which sits right across the Bay. These attributes reinforce  our position as a preferred port for smaller and medium-sized vessels” 

Distinctive Offerings to Meet Every Traveler’s Desire 

StarCruises and Dream Cruises are designed to cater to distinct travel segments, reinforcing  their leadership in the Asian and global cruise industries. 

  • StarCruises – Affordable Lifestyle Cruising: 

StarCruises ushers in a new era of affordable, lifestyle-driven cruising, tailored for the  Asian market. Operating mid-sized ships with a capacity of approximately 2,000  guests, StarCruises offers a more intimate and accessible cruising experience aboard  Star Voyager and Star Navigator. 

  • Dream Cruises – Redefining Luxury Cruising: 

Dream Cruises elevates luxury cruising to new heights, offering unparalleled elegance  and world-class services. With spacious ships accommodating more than 3,000  guests, Dream Cruises delivers exclusive privileges and premium amenities. Genting  Dream, Dream Cruises’ flagship, is currently homeported in Singapore year-round. 

Cruising from Singapore: Discover the Best of Southeast Asia 

The Star Voyager will now homeport at the Singapore Cruise Centre (SCC) through 21 July  2025. The Star Voyager will offer an exciting array of itineraries from Singapore across  Southeast Asia, including the: 

  • 5-Night Melaka-Jakarta Cruise: 26 March – 15 April 2025 
  • 5-Night Bangkok-Ko Samui Cruise: 20 April – 10 May 2025 
  • 5-Night Melaka-Ho Chi Minh Cruise: 6 – 21 July 2025 
  • 4-Night Ko Samui-Pulau Redang Cruise: 15 – 23 May 2025 
  • 4 Night Jakarta Cruise : 10 – 30 June 2025 
  • 3-Night Kuala Lumpur (via Port Klang)-Medan Cruise: 27 May – 5 June 2025 • 2-Night Kuala Lumpur (via Port Klang)-Medan Cruise: 8 June 2025
