Star Cruises was incorporated in 1993 to tap
Asia Pacific’s potential as an international cruise
destination. From its humble beginning with just
one ship back in 1993, Star Cruises has grown to
become “The Leading Cruise Line in Asia-Pacific” MegaStar Taurus in just seven years. In the year 2000, Star Cruises
became “The First Global Cruise Line” when it
completed the acquisition of NCL Holding ASA
which owns and operates Norwegian Cruise Line
and Orient Lines. There are presently 9 ships*
operated under the Star Cruises’ brand in the
Asia Pacific region.
