Star Navigator is a modern mid-sized cruise ship under the Star Cruises brand, specially designed for Asian travelers. Accommodating close to 2,000 guests, the ship offers a thoughtfully curated journey that blends warm Asian hospitality with contemporary cruise experiences.
Launched in 1999 as SuperStar Virgo and built by the renowned Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany, this Leo-class vessel has undergone several brand transformations—previously sailing as Explorer Dream and Resorts World One. In 2025, she proudly returns to the Star Cruises lineup under her new name, Star Navigator, marking a significant milestone in the brand’s return to the Southeast Asian market.
Onboard, guests can enjoy a wide variety of facilities tailored to both families and group travelers. The ship offers diverse dining options including Asian cuisine, Italian specialties, hot pot, and themed restaurants. Entertainment and amenities include a large-capacity theater, swimming pools, a wellness spa, gym, and retail promenade.
Currently homeported in Keelung/Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Star Navigator offers 2- to 5-night itineraries across Northeast/Southeast Asia. Destinations include popular ports in Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, The Philippines and many more, allowing travelers to experience multiple cultures and cuisines within a single voyage.
Star Cruises, a member of Genting Hong Kong, is the third largest cruise line in the world after Carnival Corporation and Royal Caribbean Cruises. Star Cruises dominates the Asia-Pacific market and is owned by Genting Hong Kong, who also owns 28% of the Norwegian Cruise Line. The company is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Singapore Exchange.
Star Cruises is credited with almost single handedly developing the cruise industry in the Asia-Pacific region. Its foray into the global shipping market has allowed it to tap into lucrative and more mature markets in North America and Europe. Its services cater to Asian passengers as well as to North Americans, Europeans and Australians interested in Asian destinations.
