SuperStar Libra has returned to Mumbai for another season of exciting holiday options in India. The return marks a second season for the ship following an inaugural home-porting season from September 2005 to May 2006.

A series of one-night international water cruises will kick-off the new season from 18th October 2006 to 22nd October 2006 followed by the first destination cruise to Goa on 23rd October 2006. SuperStar Libra will also offer regular 2- and 3-night cruises to Goa and Lakshadweep respectively. For the new season, more one–night cruises from Mumbai have been introduced to allow first–timers to enjoy a holiday with a difference. One-night cruises from Goa have also been introduced on selected dates.

“We are looking forward to the new season with a ship that has been well-received on her inaugural home-porting in Mumbai last year. In planning the new season’s itineraries, we have taken into account market feedback and our experience gained during the inaugural season to bring back a product that is well-adapted to cater to the Indian passengers’ tastes such as continuing to provide vegetarian cuisine, Jain cuisine and to have crew that speak the local languages,” said Mr. Chong Chee-Tut, Star Cruises’ Chief Operating Officer.

“India remains a very important market for Star Cruises as it has grown rapidly to rank among the top 5 passenger groups by country on our ships. The homecoming and homeporting of SuperStar Libra in India for a second season clearly reflects our commitment towards developing the cruise industry in India and we look forward to the co-operation and support of the tourism and transport authorities to achieve our common objectives,” added Mr. Chong.
