1. The Starlight Welcome – Embarkation
Your private luxury vehicle delivers you to Tuan Chau Marina. A dedicated host welcomes you at the Starlight Lounge, where you’ll enjoy a refreshing welcome drink while your check-in is completed. A small tender boat carries you across the water to the majestic Starlight Cruise, where the captain and crew greet you with a warm smile and a flute of sparkling wine.
Your butler escorts you to the Starlight Signature Suite – a 45-square-meter haven with floor-to-ceiling windows, a king-size bed dressed in Egyptian cotton, and a private balcony with two sun loungers. On the bed, a towel elephant and a sprinkling of rose petals await, along with a handwritten welcome note and a chilled bottle of sparkling wine.
