Casino ship is good bet for Star

OSLO 29 January – Star Cruises is to convert Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Wind into a casino vessel for one-night trips out of Hong Kong after it has been phased out of service. The 50,760-gt, 1993-built vessel will be renamed SuperStar Aquarius and commence operations from Hong Kong on 22 June. A deck plan the ship posted on the Star Cruises’ website shows that most of the public rooms, except for dining areas, will be converted into casinos. The transfer of the ship from the NCL fleet is part of a a fleet renewal programme of NCL, whereby all its vessels with fewer than 2,000 berths will be transferred to Star Cruises. However, Star sold the 1988-built Norwegian Crown to Fred Olsen last year. Cruise operations targeting the Far Eastern source markets have had mixed fortunes recently. In the autumn, Star Cruises reported its operations in India had generated a loss, while earlier this month Carnival Corp's Costa Cruises said it would open bookings on Costa Allegra - which operates from China - also to passengers from outside the Far East. Observers believe this is because booking from the main market have not been adequate. Last year, Abou Merhi Cruises ceased operations after homeporting a vessel in Dubai and targetting the Middle Eastern and European markets, while another new company puled out of the Karachi-Dubai cruise sector after failing to attract enough passengers.
