Michael Hackman, Star Cruises’ EVP, Marine Operations and New Shipbuilding, announced that the line’s 3,364-lower berth, 150,000-gross tonne new ship., currently on order at Meyer Werft in Germany and due for delivery in 2016, will be homeporting at Hong Kong’s Kai Tak International Cruise Terminal.

Although no firm decision has been made yet, Hackman also disclosed that it was likely that the second newbuilding, due for delivery a year later in 2017, would also be operating from the same terminal.

This revelation came as welcoming news for Kai Tak, which will enjoy a more than doubled number of cruise calls next year and hopes that its troubled days will soon be behind it.

Michael Hackman underlined that Star Cruises was totally committed to Asia and it had no ambition of going elsewhere in the immediate future. The line currently operates two vessels, SuperStar Virgo and Star Pisces, from Hong Kong’s Ocean terminal.
