StarCruises is collaborating with ACG Festiverse and AniMania Festival to launch CosCruise: Cosplay Championship at Sea, Malaysia’s first-ever onboard cosplay competition.

The competition will run from 2-6 February 2026, as part of a round-trip four-night cruise onboard the Star Voyager, departing from Port Klang, with stops in Phuket and Singapore.

Cosplayers from the region are invited to submit their entries from now until 12 January 2026. Shortlisted standout entries – to be announced on 19 January – will win a complimentary cruise on this sailing, where they’ll compete for the winning title and RM$2,000 (US$488) prize.
