Travellers sailing with StarCruises and Dream Cruises in Asia can look forward to lower costs, as cruise operator StarDream Cruises has announced a reduction in fuel surcharges across its regional deployments.
Effective for sailings departing on or after 26 June 2026, guests sailing from Singapore and Malaysia will receive a full waiver of fuel surcharges, while those departing from Taiwan and Hong Kong will enjoy a 50% reduction in the current surcharge level.
“As fuel prices have continued to stabilise, we are pleased to reduce and, where possible, fully waive the fuel surcharge across our deployments,” said Michael Goh, president of StarDream Cruises.
“We have always taken a transparent approach to fuel surcharges, introducing them only when necessary and reviewing them regularly. As operating conditions improve, we believe it is important to pass these benefits on to our guests.”
In March, StarCruises and Dream Cruises implemented a fuel surcharge of US$15 per person, per night on selected sailings to help offset higher operating costs resulting from fuel price volatility.
The cruise operator added that it would continue to monitor global fuel price movements and review its surcharge arrangements as appropriate.
