All aboard to the wonderland on the Straits of Malacca

This is how she looks Super Star Virgo

 One of the largest cruise in South East Asia 

Owned by Genting HK International

1st sight she's just an ordinary ship (big ship) to me but Virgo surprises us every day!!

 

With the view from the deck when Virgo embark at Harbour Front Singapore

Very futuristic view

Wanted to go there
