The parent company of Star Cruises is Genting Hong Kong (formerly Star Cruises Limited). Star Cruises’ sister brand is Norwegian Cruise Line. Together they are the third largest cruise operator in the world behind Carnival Corporation and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (RCCL).
Star Cruises was incorporated in 1993 and has been cruising in the Asia-Pacific region long before it was trendy for the other cruise lines. Their fleet of luxurious mega ships are mainly ex-Norwegian Cruise Line vessels, meaning that they share many of the same features such as children centers and lots of dining options. Star Cruises is currently refurbishing the ex-Norwegian Dream for re-launch in 2013 with the new name, Superstar Gemini.
Star Cruises recruit prospective crew exclusively through its crewing manager,
Strada Maritime Corporation and Martley Shipping Inc. Deployment is processed through regional crewing agencies in mostly Asian countries.
