However if you decide to opt for the Malacca shore excursion, you need to book the tour with Star Cruises the night before. No last minute bookings can be made since it is an Immigration requirement that all names of passengers who wish to get off at Malacca must be submitted on Wednesday night before 2230 hrs.
Holiday Travel Tips:-
If you love a historical cum sightseeing tour, the Malacca shore excursion would be a good choice.
Duration of Malacca shore excursion:- approximately 11 hours
Time to assemble:- 0715 hrs
Price:- SGD75 adult / SGD65 child
If you opt to disembark at Port Klang, you could choose from a variety of shopping and sightseeing destinations as indicated under Port Klang shore excursion. Pricing for each tour varies from SGD30 to SGD60 per adult.
Holiday Travel Tips:-
If you are more adventurous, you could save some money by hailing a cab at Port Klang Cruise Centre where Super Star Virgo will be anchored. However since KL roads are well known for heavy traffic during certain hours of the day, do give yourself extra time to get back to the holiday cruise ship by the stated time
If you decided not to go on the shore excursion, here is a list of some of the activities that you could participate in:-
- Game show:- Give Us A Clue
- Michael Jackson Trivia Quiz
- Boot Scooting Line Dancing
- Arts & Crafts – fancy sash making and paper love bug making
- Soccer Bowling
- Basketball Competition
- Stretch – Relax & Meditate
OR simply enjoy the Rasputin show featuring contortionist, aero gymnasts and acrobats, sit back and listen to the music entertainment or even dance your feet off.
We had an enjoyable lunch at the Bella Vista Restaurant and opted for Chinese food. Menu for the day:-
Chilled Jelly Stick with Crab Meat Stick in Thai Chilli Sauce
Boiled Black Chicken with Chinese Herbs
Tamarind Curry Fish
Steamed Beancurd with Mui Choy and Mince Chicken
Deep fried Pork Ribs with King Tu Sauce
Braised Vegetable with Dried Scallop
Sweetened Green Bean with Sago Seed
Fruit Carving on board the SuperStar Virgo
After lunch, whilst waiting to disembark for the shore excursion, we took a walk on board the holiday cruise ship.

When it was time to disembark at Port Klang at approximately 1330 hrs, we took a cab to Chow Kit area (yes, it is easy to get a cab at the Port Klang Cruise Centre) to get some items at Bake with Yen, a baking supplies shop as well as AA Pharmacy in Sri Petaling to purchase some medication.

Since we were in Sri Petaling area, we decided to have bak kut teh (pork rib soup) for dinner at 1730 hrs. As this outlet is only open in the evenings, we have not managed to try it before though we could get the aroma of the spices even though the shop is not open in the mornings when we passed by before.

We ordered a bowl of mixed ingredients, some fried tofu and a plate of green vegetables. The soup was very aromatic and strong in flavour though we would have preferred it more if there was more pepper. Price though was a little on the high end.

After dinner, we made good timing in getting back to Port Klang Cruise Centre to board the holiday cruise ship, Super Star Virgo. Scheduled departure from Port Klang was at 2130 hrs.
After unloading our shopping packages, we proceeded to the Mediterranean Buffet Restaurant to enjoy some desserts such as cakes and ice cream.
Looking forward to the Choco Madness Party at the Parthenon Pool at 2230 hrs, we eagerly made our way to Deck 12 at the scheduled time. There was a special performance by the Hotel Section Heads and the Cruise staff, as well as fun and crazy games for the passengers. Needless to say, there was a lovely spread of goodies, from chocolate bits to chocolate pastries.
