The StarCruises brand has reintroduced Star Navigator, formerly Resorts World One, offering weekly cruises from Keelung from March 28 to November 14, 2025. With a choice of 3, 4, and 6-day sailings, guests can explore Japan and South Korea’s most breathtaking destinations. This marks a revival of Asia’s pioneering cruise line, providing an exciting mix of cultural, scenic, and adventure-filled experiences.
Spring brings exclusive Cherry Blossom Cruises, taking guests to Kumamoto Castle, Mount Yoshino, and Tateyama Park—some of Japan’s most iconic sakura spots. Each guest enjoys a free Hanami Excursion, where they can sip sake and savor Japanese snacks under thousands of blooming cherry trees. Another highlight is the Osaka (via Wakayama) cruise, giving travellers the chance to attend World Expo 2025, a globally celebrated event held once every five years. Guests will also explore Kochi’s cultural landmarks, including Kochi Castle and the vibrant Hirome Market.
The adventure continues with South Korean itineraries featuring Jeju Island and Busan, where travellers can witness volcanic landscapes, historic temples, and lively markets. As the season draws to a close, the Fall Foliage Cruises will showcase Japan and Korea’s autumn transformation, painting landscapes in breathtaking shades of red, orange, and yellow. With seamless travel options, guests from across Asia can fly to Taipei and embark on their cruise without visa restrictions, making it an effortless getaway.
A fully renovated Star Navigator ensures a premium experience, with upgraded entertainment systems, themed parties, and engaging onboard activities like the Foam & Rain Party and the Red Carpet Party. Whether guests seek relaxation, cultural discovery, or thrilling nightlife at sea, Star Navigator offers an unforgettable cruise adventure, combining the best of Japan, Korea, and Taiwan into one seamless journey.
