Star Voyager Returns to Hong Kong for Fall 2026 Cruises

Weekend high-seas sailings depart Fridays at eight in the evening and return Sunday afternoon; Star Voyager later repositions via Nha Trang and Ho Chi Minh City to Singapore.

StarCruises will return Star Voyager to Hong Kong for a fall 2026 season, with cruises from Ocean Terminal running from September 30 to November 13. The program includes two-, three- and five-night sailings timed for the region’s peak holiday travel period.

The deployment returns the 77,441-gt ship to Hong Kong and gives the city a short-cruise product from a central terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui. StarCruises is offering 30 percent off bookings made by August 31, 2026, with a third guest sailing free on selected departures, though starting fares were not disclosed.

“Hong Kong has always been one of StarCruises’ key homeports, and we are delighted to return this autumn with Star Voyager during one of the busiest holiday seasons of the year,” said Michael Goh, president of StarDream Cruises.

Short cruises from Ocean Terminal

The schedule is built around regional short breaks, including two-night Xiamen cruises departing September 30, October 14, October 28 and November 11. Three-night programs include Kaohsiung and the Penghu islands on October 11, and Sanya cruises on October 25 and November 8.

The five-night Okinawa program includes Miyakojima and Naha departures on October 4 and November 1, plus an Ishigaki and Naha sailing on October 18. StarCruises will also run two-night high-seas cruises each weekend, departing Fridays at 8 p.m. and returning Sunday afternoon.

Goh said the line had “curated a variety of itineraries” for weekend breaks, public holidays and longer vacations, citing the convenience of boarding from central Hong Kong.

Star Voyager and Hong Kong context

Star Voyager carries 1,940 lower-berth passengers and up to 2,395 guests at maximum occupancy, with 924 crew. Built in 1997 and refurbished in 2025, the ship has 972 to 998 cabins, 15 restaurant and bar concepts, waterslides and wellness facilities.

Ocean Terminal sits in Tsim Sha Tsui. The terminal connects directly to the Harbour City complex, near the Star Ferry and MTR access points. The location gives the deployment a city-center embarkation point compared with Hong Kong’s larger Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, which handles many of the biggest modern cruise ships.

The return also draws on StarCruises’ long association with Hong Kong. The original Star Cruises was founded in 1993 with corporate headquarters in Hong Kong, while the StarCruises brand was relaunched in 2025 under Resorts World Cruises.

After the Hong Kong season, Star Voyager is scheduled to operate a five-night one-way voyage calling at Nha Trang and Ho Chi Minh City before arriving in Singapore. That repositioning cruise departs November 15 ahead of the ship’s next homeport deployment.
