The cruise line Star Cruises has announced the new schedule of
the cruise ship SuperStar Virgo which will promisingly bring more cruise
tourists to Vietnam.
Star Cruises is promoting
the ship’s journeys such as the four-day journey from Hong Kong to Taiwan and
the one departing from Sanya (Hainan) for Halong Bay in the period between
April 7 and October 26, 2014.According to Star Cruises, SuperStar Virgo’s main
port will be changed from Singapore to Hong Kong in six months between April
and October, 2014 to take tourists to Taiwan, China’s Hainan and Vietnam’s
Halong Bay. This 75,000-ton-plus cruise ship has 13 decks and 935 cabins.
According to the cruise
line, the cruise tourism demand in Asia is growing and the main port’s shift
from Singapore to Hong Kong is part of the strategy of developing destinations
like Hong Kong, China, South Korea and Japan.

firms catering to cruise tourists, cruise tourism grows well in the travel
season from October, 2013 to April, 2014.

early next year would be equivalent to last year’s same period. The firm
