So, what’s the SuperStar Virgo like, well The Mole can tell you because when the Virgo was in Singapore recently, I went for wander around and was very impressed.

Firstly the SuperStar Virgo is a relatively new ship, built in 1999, [compared to 1991 for the Pacific Dawn, which was also previously the Regal Princess] specifically for Star and the traditionally Asian, but she has been adpated to suit Western tastes, with Braydon Holland of Star Cruises in Australia telling me that between 200 and 300 Aussies cruise of SuperStar Virgo every week, which is some testament to this vessel and Star Cruises.
