“This deployment gives cruise passengers from Singapore and Malaysia more choices, flexibility, and convenience, with 3 and 4 Night getaways from both Singapore and Kuala Lumpur (Port Klang), sailing between the two cities and calling at the ever-popular destinations of Phuket, Penang, and Pulau Bintan,” said Michael Goh, President of StarDream Cruises.

Guests can embark at the Singapore Cruise Centre (SCC) - conveniently connected to VivoCity Mall and the HarbourFront MRT station - or from Kuala Lumpur via the Port Klang Cruise Terminal (PKCT). With these two convenient homeports, holidaymakers can enjoy greater flexibility and ease when planning their voyages.

The itineraries showcase Southeast Asia’s favourite holiday destinations – from Singapore’s vibrant metropolis, where futuristic architecture meets bustling hawker centres and lively arts precincts, to Penang’s UNESCO-listed George Town with its world-renowned street food and Phuket’s sun-kissed beaches and energetic markets. Guests can also unwind at Pulau Bintan’s palm-fringed lagoon resorts, enjoy mangrove eco-tours, golf and water sports, or discover Kuala Lumpur’s unique blend of soaring

skyscrapers, colonial heritage, and colourful street markets. With added departures to meet strong demand, Star Voyager offers even more ways to celebrate the holidays while cruising to these timeless regional favourites.
