Star Sells Ship!
Hi Everyone,
I received this press release from Star Cruises and thought it would be of interest. If you have missed any of my news' postings, they are available on my web site. Best regards, Ray LIGHTHOUSE TRAVEL 800-719-9917 or 805-566-3905 http://www.lighthousetravel.com STAR CRUISES SELLS SUPERSTAR ARIES AS FLEET RATIONALISATION PLANS CONTINUE Star Cruises, the Leading Cruise Line in Asia-Pacific today announced the sale of SuperStar Aries to Pullmantur Cruises, which in the last three years has risen in stature to become the leading cruise operator in Spain. The sale follows that of SuperStar Capricorn announced on 15 January 2004 and is in line with Star Cruises’ overall strategy involving fleet rationalisation plans to a fleet profile with more medium capacity vessels that are suitable for the Asian market. “The company is constantly looking at the prospect of selling certain identified ships as and when the opportunity arises in achieving our overall intended objectives and the confirmation of the sale of SuperStar Aries is another step that has been taken towards that direction”, said Mr. Chong Chee Tut, Chief Operating Officer of Star Cruises. The 37,000-gross tonne vessel joined the Star Cruises fleet in 1999 and is currently home ported in Port Klang, Malaysia, where she offers 4-day/3-night and 3-day/2-night cruises to Phuket, Thailand and Langkawi Island in Malaysia respectively. These are in addition to the international high seas itineraries out of Port Klang from Mondays to Saturdays. SuperStar Aries will be delivered to the new owners at the end of her cruise season in the Straits of Malacca.
