Singapore-based Star Cruises, the leading ocean cruise line in the Asia-Pacific region, is enjoying an overwhelming response after it recently announced the operation of low-priced luxury cruises.
The foreign carrier's Japan-based cruises operate casinos on the open sea, which is not allowed on Japanese-owned vessels.
The 25,000-ton SuperStar Taurus provides a three-night round-trip cruise from Kobe or Fukuoka via Pusan, South Korea. The liner also offers four-night cruises from the same destinations that include an additional stop in Beppu, Oita Prefecture.
