Almaco is to renovate all guest accommodation onboard Star Cruises’ SuperStar Virgo as she is converted into Explorer Dream for sister brand Dream Cruises. The renovation will take place at the Sembawang Shipyard in Singapore and see Almaco refresh all cabins and build a new 80 square-metre VIP galley on deck 10. The overhaul will also include the refurbishment of 543 cabins’ wallpaper, carpet, artwork, curtains and other soft goods, the conversion of 44 passenger cabins into 22 Bay suites, the construction of two brand new Palace suites and the modernisation of 150 metres of corridors. “We are proud to be able to work with the Genting team once more after the success of Crystal Serenity and utilise our efficiencies in engineering, logistics and project management to reach the extremely tight deadlines,” said Tommi Virta, Almaco’s project manager for the accommodation renovation.

Former SUPERSTAR VIRGO was added to Genting's Dream Cruises fleet. In addition to refits on yard at Singapore, the ship received a new hull artwork. https://www.cruisedeck.de/hull-artwork-der-explorer-dream/
