Star Voyager, the latest addition to the StarCruises fleet, has made its much-anticipated debut in Ho Chi Minh City, marking a significant milestone as the first cruise ship to offer Vietnamese round-trip cruises to Singapore. The ship, which arrived on 13 June 2025, will provide a 5-day, 4-night cruise experience during the Vietnamese school holidays, with additional departures on 17 and 21 June.
The Star Voyager’s arrival was celebrated with a grand inauguration ceremony at Phu My Port, attended by key figures including Michael Goh, President of StarDream Cruises, and Do Phuoc Trung, Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Ba Ria Vung Tau province. Goh expressed excitement about the new venture, stating, “This homeport and exclusive sailings are a key step in our vision to develop Vietnam as a major cruise hub in Southeast Asia.”
The cruise promises an unforgettable journey with a recently completed $50 million refurbishment, offering a blend of comfort and modern amenities. Passengers will enjoy a variety of onboard activities, including waterslides, a rock-climbing wall, and vibrant music festivals. The cruise also features a stop in Singapore, allowing guests to explore iconic destinations such as Gardens by the Bay and Orchard Road.
With limited sailings available, the Star Voyager aims to boost Vietnam’s cruise tourism sector, offering a unique holiday experience for Vietnamese travellers. Bookings can be made through local travel partners or the StarDream Cruises website.
