  Star Cruises’ newbuilding to feature 1,000sqm of retail area to attract Asians  
Menu Star Cruises, the Asia-Pacific focused cruise line that is part of Genting Hong Kong group, says the newbuilding it contracted from Meyer Werft last week will be approximately 330 meters long and feature large retail areas to appeal to Asian customers.

“To cater to the preference of Asia cruisers, more than 1,000 square meters of floor area will be designated for retail. With luxury products from all over the world available on this shopping centre on the sea, cruisers can treat themselves to a shopping spree whenever and wherever they want,” Star Cruises said in a statement.

The ship will also feature 33 food and beverage outlets. The restaurants, bars and cafes specializing in international and Asian cuisines will be complemented by a state-of-the-art theatre, and 19 world-class recreation, health & fitness and MICE facilities such as aqua slides, kids’ waterpark and meeting rooms, the company said.

Once completed in 2016, the €707.2 million ship that will measure about 150,000 gross tons and have more than 1,600 cabins, will be the largest ship permanently homeported in Asia. It will also be the largest under the Star Cruises brand.
