Visa Requirements

Visa close-up for international cruise travel – Star Voyager Cruise visa guide

Visa requirements for the Star Voyager Cruise depend on your nationality and the specific destinations on your chosen itinerary. For most Southeast Asian routes (like Taiwan and Vietnam), Indian and many Asian passport holders may require an eVisa or a pre-approved visa, especially when visiting ports such as Kaohsiung, Keelung, Penghu, Naha, and Ishigaki. Passengers are strongly advised to check with the cruise line or their travel agent in advance to ensure timely visa processing. Hong Kong itself offers visa-free or visa-on-Arrival access for many travelers, making it a convenient homeport for international cruisers.


Best Time to Sail

Plan your trip during:

  • Spring (March–May) – Mild weather & blooming scenery
  • Autumn (September–November) – Cool breeze, fewer crowds
  • Avoid typhoon season (late July to early September)
