July 29, 2025 | Press Release

StarCruises is setting a new course for weekend travel with the announcement of six exclusive 2-night cruises from Hong Kong to Xiamen aboard the Star Voyager. Launching this September, these limited-time voyages promise to turn ordinary weekends into culturally rich and relaxing mini-getaways—without the need for extra leave or long-haul flights.

Departing Friday evenings at 8:00 PM from Ocean Terminal, in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui, and returning Sunday at 2:00 PM, this new route offers a fresh alternative to the cruise line’s popular Weekend Sea-cation High Seas Cruises, which it will replace on selected dates. The sailings are scheduled for 19 & 26 September; 3, 17 & 31 October; and 14 November 2025.

“We’re thrilled to introduce these exclusive weekend Xiamen cruises that give guests the chance to unwind and discover Xiamen without taking extra days off work, turning an ordinary weekend into something truly special,” said Michael Goh, President of StarDream Cruises.

“The Star Voyager’s Hong Kong to Xiamen itinerary is designed to combine convenience, comfort and adventure—perfect for anyone looking to make the most of their weekends this fall. With only six departures, this exclusive journey offers something fresh, flexible and unforgettable.” 

A City of Serenity and Street Life
After a restful overnight sail, guests will awaken in Xiamen, one of China’s most scenic and culturally vibrant coastal cities. Highlights include:
– Gulangyu Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its colonial charm and pedestrian-only streets
– The tranquil Nanputuo Temple, nestled at the base of a lush hillscape
– Bustling Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, famed for its street food and souvenirs
– From architecture to aromatic eats, Xiamen offers a full sensory immersion in less than 24 hours ashore.

Life at Sea: Aboard the Star Voyager
The Star Voyager experience blends seaside relaxation with luxurious onboard offerings:
– Multiple dining venues serving gourmet global and Asian cuisine
– Live shows and entertainment
– Spa and wellness facilities
– Sea-view lounges perfect for unwinding
The ease of cruising from city centre to city centre—no airport stress or security queues—makes this the most seamless way to escape the city and return refreshed before Monday.
