on Star Cruises at the 20th TTG Travel Awards 2009, hosted annually by TTG Asia, which recognizes outstanding achievements across the region’s travel industry.
Being the ten-time winner of the “Best Cruise Operator in the Asia-Pacific” award, Star Cruises, the world’s third largest cruise operator, was initially inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2008.
Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, Chairman and CEO of Star Cruises, was named “Travel Entrepreneur of the Year” by TTG Travel Awards in 2009. This special award recognised his outstanding achievements and contributions to tourism and travel in Asia. “It is truly an honor to be in the company of our esteemed fellow “Travel Hall of Fame” inductees.
To be acknowledged by our industry peers as “Best Cruise Operator” for well over a decade is an accomplishment in itself, and a validation of Star Cruises’ pride and commitment to the industry,” said Mr. Blondel So, Chief Operating Officer of Star Cruises.
As an Asian based international cruise line, Star Cruises has earned a stellar reputation by offering a diverse range of itineraries and has pioneered the concept of cruising across the Asia-Pacific for the past 16 years. In recent years, in order to offer cruise options and new itineraries to customers, we have been studying and exploring the feasibility of sailing “Three Places Across Two Shores. The first-ever “Multi-destination” cruise was successfully launched for mainlanders to take Hong Kong based cruise ships to Taiwan in August this year. In response to the market demand, more itineraries are being planned and to be announced at a later stage.
