SuperStar Virgo, which is currently undergoing a US$25 million refurbishment, is launching a reunion campaign that aims to get together her first passengers on her inaugural sail 12 years ago.

Through its  “Our First Friends” campaign, Star Cruises is searching for passengers who cruised with SuperStar Virgo on  August 27, 1999. More than 1,200 passengers from countries that include Singapore, Malaysia, India, Australia, Japan and Thailand made Asian cruise history when they went on this inaugural voyage.

Star Cruises is launching the online component of the campaign to find the first 40 of those passengers/families to celebrate SuperStar Virgo’srefurbishment. They will be invited to join one complimentary SuperStar Virgo3D2N cruise, staying at seaview cabins that accommodate two persons. The invitation will be valid from February to April 2012.

Passengers who were on the inaugural cruise are invited to send valid details to [email protected] for verification. Or they can log to Star Cruises for more details. The campaign runs from January 10-31 or earlier when the first 40 passengers have been found.

Vivian Sim, Star Cruises vice president of corporate communications & PR of Genting Hong Kong, said the refurbishment of the Singapore- homeported SuperStar Virgo would further strengthen the company’s cruise holiday products for regional and international passengers.

“Our First Friends” campaign will add excitement to the return of SuperStar Virgo to service on 23rd January, 2012,” she added.
