The StarDream Cruises, including its president, Mr. Michael Goh, along with Ms. Ren Guoyan, general manager of the Xiamen Port Authority, and several representatives of local authorities, attended the special celebration of the Star Voyager in Xiamen.
StarCruises proudly celebrated the Star Voyager in Xiamen, marking a significant milestone in the city's cruise tourism development. To commemorate the occasion, the cruise line announced additional weekend sailings from Hong Kong every Friday until November 14, 2025, arriving in Xiamen every Saturday.
“On behalf of StarCruises, we sincerely thank the Xiamen authorities and all our partners for their support in making today’s inaugural arrival possible,” said Michael Goh, President of StarDream Cruises. “The Star Voyager has been warmly received by our guests throughout the region, and we are now delighted to offer more weekend cruises from Hong Kong arriving in Xiamen every Saturday. These weekend getaways will not only delight travelers but also support the growth of the cruise tourism sector in Xiamen.”
For his part, Mr. Chen Chunhui, Chairman of Xiamen International Cruise Home Port Group Co., Ltd., stated, “Today, the cruise home port and StarCruises are renewing their partnership and beginning a new chapter. We will seize this opportunity to strengthen collaboration with outstanding partners such as StarCruises. With the support of the relevant authorities, we will move forward toward building a world-class international cruise home port and achieve high-quality development by integrating port tourism and the port industry.”.
Following its positive regional reception and the appeal of a short, two-night cruise, the Star Voyager has added more weekend departures to Xiamen, operating every weekend. Departing from Hong Kong’s central Ocean Terminal on Fridays at 8:00 p.m. and returning on Sundays at 2:00 p.m., these cruises allow passengers to experience the unique charm of Xiamen: from Gulangyu Island (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and the historic Nanputuo Temple, to picturesque waterfront promenades and cultural landmarks that have earned it the nickname “Garden in the Sea.”
