Star Cruises announces the First Cruise Ship to Homeport in Manila for Filipinos to Cruise to Taiwan and Hong Kong

Last October, I got to experience a 4-day cruise aboard Star Cruises SuperStar Gemini. We traveled from Manila to Singapore and had a wonderful cruise along Malacca Strait with onshore excursions in Penang and Langkawi, Malaysia. Indeed, it is one of the best and most memorable travel experience I had this year.
