Hong Kong’s Star Cruises has unveiled plans for its first ever season of sailings from Bangkok.
From 17 December 2017 to 27 April 2018, the SuperStar Gemini cruise ship will be based at the Thai capital’s Laem Chabang port, offering a series of cruises through the Gulf of Thailand.
“We are excited to announce Star Cruises’ return to the ‘Land of Smiles’ with the deployment of SuperStar Gemini at Laem Chabang,” said Ang Moo Lim, president of Star Cruises. “Our long history with Thailand stretches all the way back to 1995 when we first called upon Phuket and we are proud to be able to call Laem Chabang our new home come 17 December this year.”
During its Thai deployment, SuperStar Gemini will operate a series of three-night cruises to the Cambodian port of Sihanoukville and the Thai island of Koh Samui, departing every Sunday. It will also provide two-night cruises to Sihanoukville, departing every Wednesday, and two-night voyages to the Cambodian island of Koh Kong Island, leaving every Friday.
“Thailand has the largest number of tourists of all ASEAN countries and the two airports of Bangkok serve more than 85 million passengers every year,” Ang continued. “This is a perfect location for fly-cruise passengers and we will work closely with inbound agents to package cruises with land vacations, providing tourists yet another reason to visit Thailand.
“We will make Bangkok the gateway to Indochina due to its superior air and tourist infrastructure,” he concluded.
