Star Cruises doubles 21-night cruises for 2008
Star Cruises is doubling the number of longer Far East itineraries in 2008 for its 800-passenger capacity SuperStar Gemini.
For the April to December 2008 season, there will be six departures for the 21-night cruise option from Singapore taking in destinations throughout Thailand, Vietnam, China and Malaysia.
For the first time, agents will be able to book 21-night cruises departing round-trip from Hong Kong for UK clients. Six departures for a 21-night cruise round-trip from Singapore are also available.
Agents also now have a choice of dates for six 10-night cruises from Singapore to Hong Kong, and six date options for an 11-night Hong Kong to Singapore cruise.
Mick Dupont, sales and marketing director, Europe for Star Cruises explained: “Star Cruises has traditionally offered shorter cruises in the Far East which agents have packaged with land extensions.
“In the last two years we have introduced longer options, with a couple of departures per season. The popularity of these longer cruises, particularly amongst international guests including British travellers, now means that we will offer twice as many 21-night cruises in 2008 than are available in 2007.”
