In conjunction with the current homeport deployment of the Star Voyager in Hong Kong, StarCruises has renewed its collaboration with the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals.
Building on their successful 2023 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) partnership, this year’s summer charity cruise welcomes over 20 underprivileged families, comprising more than 60 guests.
They will set sail from the conveniently located Ocean Terminal for a memorable 3 Day / 2 Night cruise to Kaohsiung.
StarDream Cruises president Michael Goh said of the initiative: “As part of our ongoing CSR initiatives in the communities where we homeport and visit, we are pleased to once again collaborate with the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals in Hong Kong. This meaningful cruise journey aims to bring joy and lasting memories to families in need. Cruise travel is more than a leisure experience - it also helps children broaden their horizons and gain valuable life knowledge.”
Making summer more meaningful
This special CSR initiative offers children of all ages from the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals a unique opportunity to learn and have fun aboard the ship.
The “Summer Voyage” features the interactive “Little Dreamers” experience, where children discover dining etiquette, shipboard knowledge and life jacket safety through hands-on activities and guided tours.
In the “Little Captain” session, young participants step into the role of ship officers to explore basic nautical skills and safety procedures. Meanwhile, the “Little Butler” workshop lets children experience hospitality firsthand by learning dining etiquette and service techniques.
First time at sea
For many of the underprivileged families, this was their first-ever cruise experience.
The Star Voyager sailed to Kaohsiung, where guests explored cultural highlights such as the Pier-2 Art Center and Cijin Old Street, immersing themselves in the charm of this vibrant port city.
Back on board, families enjoyed a wealth of entertainment and dining options, creating precious bonding moments and discovering new experiences from ship to shore.
