Fledgling cruise line Resorts World Cruises has decided against renaming former P&O Cruises Australia vessel Pacific Explorer as Star Scorpio when it joins its fleet in March, instead settling upon Star Voyager as its new name.
Before it takes on its new identity, Star Voyager will undergo a US$50m renovation that will see it fitted with ship-within-a-ship luxury suite enclave The Palace which will feature 24-hour butler service as well as private amenities.
The 1,800-guest ship will take the Resorts World Cruises fleet to three when it joins the fleet and commences deployment from 26 March 2025, joining Genting Dream and Resorts World One.
Star Voyager will start off by exploring Southeast Asia until 21 July 2025 with Singapore as its main homeport, together with Jakarta, Melaka, Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh city acting as “dual homeports”, with other popular destinations such as Medan, Pulau Redang and Ko Samui also featuring in its maiden program.
