SINGAPORE, 15 May 2023: Princess Cruises has revealed the name of its second Sphere Class cruise ship – Star Princess, which will sail an inaugural season of Mediterranean voyages when she debuts in August 2025.

Currently, under construction at the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy, Star Princess joins Sun Princess (preparing for her inaugural cruise in 2024). They are the two largest ships ever built for Princess, each 175,500 tons and carrying 4,300 guests.

Star Princess is built on a distinctly different and unique platform, designed to simultaneously embrace the Princess heritage while celebrating the romance of the sea by offering more dynamic, outward views.

While 20% larger than any of the line’s existing ships, Star Princess design retains the more intimate settings Princess is known for, with several new ground-breaking spaces such as: 

  • The Dome, a transformational entertainment venue inspired by the terraces of Santorini;
  • The next-level Piazza features a glass sphere
  • The “see it to believe it” Princess Arena, a configurable, technologically-advanced main theatre that allows Princess to produce a variety of innovative entertainment concepts; and
  • A majestic dining room positioned aft of the ship to deliver unforgettable wake views.

This second Sphere Class ship will also offer several spectacular features with new food and beverage concepts; a magnificent, expanded casino; a two-level Lotus Spa; and entertainment headlined by Cirque Éloize.

Guests also will love the expanded accommodations options with luxurious staterooms and suites, including the new Reserve and Signature Collections.

Star Princess also will showcase the exclusive Princess Medallion service that extends Princess’ leadership position in delivering exceptional personalised experiences.

The new ship will be the second in the Princess fleet to be powered by LNG fuel technology and also is being built with the most advanced sustainable innovations available.

Star Princess debuts 4 August 2025, sailing a nine-day Inaugural Italy & Greece roundtrip voyage from Rome (Civitavecchia), featuring the destinations of Corfu, Kotor, Mykonos, Santorini and Naples (for Capri and Pompeii), followed by a variety of 9- and 10-day cruises sailing from Rome, Athens or Trieste (Venice) that visit idyllic coastal ports. Star Princess cruises go on sale with the larger Europe 2025 programme release on 1 June 2023.

Tips to avoid solo travel pitfalls

By
TTR WEEKLY
-

SINGAPORE, 15 May 2023: Solo travellers are urged to take the necessary safety steps to ensure their trip of a lifetime runs smoothly without risk.

Travel experts at Panache Cruises advise lone holidaymakers how to avoid putting themselves at risk when jetting off on their own.

Bookings for solo travel have almost doubled since the pandemic – 14% of travellers planned a solo trip in 2019, but now 23% plan on venturing alone.

But despite this surge in individuals wanting to experience the world on their own, several barriers are still in place, putting some travellers off.

Personal safety remains top of the list of obstacles why solo travellers, particularly females, feel they can’t take a holiday alone.

To protect their safety, one of the most important things to do if travelling alone is to share live locations with others and update friends and family on itineraries.

There are a wealth of mobile phone apps which are designed to keep you safe by sharing your location in real-time with friends and loved ones.

Solo travellers should also take time to create an emergency plan, knowing where the local hospital and police stations are and remembering the emergency phone numbers for each country.

Panache Cruises founder Janes Cole said: “A solo trip often becomes the trip of a lifetime. It’s liberating to take in all the different languages and landscapes in your own time without having to worry about anyone else.

“It’s all about stepping outside of your comfort zone and getting the opportunity to meet new people worldwide. You can quickly immerse yourself in unique cultures and go wherever you want.

“The lessons and knowledge you gain from exploring new countries alone can lead to once-in-a-lifetime experiences and a path of self-discovery.

“But travelling to an unknown place alone can also be unsettling if you don’t put safety measures in place. That’s why the most important thing when going on holiday alone is to protect your safety first and foremost.

“Protect yourself against tourist crime by researching the local scams in each area and keep your valuables close by and out of sight.

“Never tell a stranger you are travelling alone, as this can put you in a vulnerable position. Before leaving, make sure you have all the correct travel insurance documents to hand in case of an emergency.

“The experiences and memories from a solo trip are truly priceless, but it’s crucial not to forget your safety always comes first.”

Top 10 Safety Tips for Solo Travellers:

  1. Inform people of your location
    Before going away, make sure to let friends and family know of the trip and make sure to keep them updated with any changes to the itinerary. Keep in regular contact and turn on live location so someone at home knows where contact details of where you are staying.
  2. Create an emergency plan
    Be prepared for emergencies by knowing where the local hospital, police station and other useful spots are in each city. Learn key phrases such as ‘I need help’ or ‘Ring for an ambulance’ in the local language and the emergency phone numbers.
  3. Protect valuables
    It’s a good idea not to pack anything sentimental and only take what is necessary – like a credit card, local currency, passport and a mobile phone. Keep these hidden in a secure bag out of sight at all times.
  4. Protect yourself against crime
    Solo travellers should stay safe from local crime and tourist scams by researching the destination beforehand. Read up on travel guides, blogs, and news sites. Talk to others who have visited the area to learn about potential risks.
  5. Book solo accommodation
    Booking shared accommodation such as hostels poses more risks than booking a solo room. Many travel providers now include smaller rooms or cabins for those holidaying alone.
  6. Choose accommodation with caution
    Check that the hotel or hostel is safe and close to public transport and restaurants. Travellers should also check the accommodation’s check-in timings to avoid waiting in an unknown environment.
  7. Travel Insurance
    Travellers are advised to protect themselves from unforeseen events by getting travel insurance. Trip cancellation and interruption insurance can help recover damages from weather and natural disasters. Medical insurance can cover unexpected costs, while luggage insurance can help recover losses from theft or delays.
  8. Study the local language
    Tourists are encouraged to learn the local language to enrich their travel experience and keep themselves safe, especially when visiting less popular tourist destinations. Use translation apps.
  9. Be respectful of local culture
    To reduce vulnerability and avoid drawing attention, travellers should dress appropriately to respect the local culture. Some countries may require hair to be covered up and not too much skin to be on show.
  10. Never tell strangers you are travelling alone
    Finally, solo travellers should never share too much with strangers or risk becoming a target. Instead of telling someone they are solo travelling, let them know that friends are just waiting up ahead or back in the hotel room.

DUBAI, UAE 12 May 2023: Emirates inks Memorandum of Understandings (MoUs) with three tourism boards – Tourism Seychelles, Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority (MTPA) and the Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau.

All three agreements reaffirm the airline’s commitment to the island nations and outline key joint initiatives to promote trade and tourism to the respective countries.

The Seychelles

Emirates has been serving Seychelles since 2005, consistently contributing to the growth of its tourism industry. The airline’s commitment to the nation continues with the renewal of a decade-long partnership to promote tourism and broaden its appeal across Emirates’ global network of over 140 passenger destinations.

Emirates currently operates two daily flights to the island nation and was the first international airline to resume passenger services to Seychelles in August 2020, coinciding with the country’s re-opening to international tourists.

Mauritius

Now in its 20th year of service to the island nation and 10th year of partnership with Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority (MTPA), Emirates’ latest agreement includes initiatives designed to promote the nation’s tourism and trade industries.

Mauritius continues to be an important destination for Emirates. Last year, the airline celebrated 20 years of operations to the island nation, which has seen more than 6.5 million passengers carried on the Dubai-Mauritius route since 2002. The airline currently provides two direct daily flights to Mauritius, both operated by its flagship A380 aircraft.

Sri Lanka

Emirates has pledged its renewed support to promote tourism in Sri Lanka with an agreement that includes a host of initiatives designed to promote and play a key role in the revival of the nation’s tourism and trade industries and comes as part of the airline’s long-standing commitment to Sri Lanka which now spans 37 years.

Emirates launched its services to Sri Lanka in 1986 and has carried more than 11 million passengers on the route since then. The airline currently provides two direct daily flights to Colombo and a daily service via Male. It is also the only international carrier to serve the country with First Class services.

SINGAPORE, 12 May 2023: JLL’s Hotels & Hospitality Group announced Thursday that it advised GK Fortune One on the successful sale of the Red Planet Sapporo Susukino South hotel to GK Nakashima for JPY1.725 billion (approximately USD13 million), an investment vehicle owned by a consortium led by Singapore’s Heeton Holdings Limited.

According to JLL, the hotel has been acquired with vacant possession and will be rebranded to a domestic Japanese hotel brand. Built in 2018, the hotel is located in Susukino, the entertainment and nightlife district of Sapporo and features 123 rooms across eight floors.

“We are seeing strong appetite for hotels with vacant possession where investors can rebrand and capitalize on the exceptional recovery in tourism demand in Japan. JLL is delighted to have advised on this exciting transaction and helped Heeton to secure their third hotel in Japan,” says JLL Hotels & Hospitality Group executive vice president of investment sales, Asia Pacific, Charlie Macildowie.

According to data from STR Global, the Sapporo Limited-Service hotel segment has seen a strong recovery in 2023, with revenue per available room (RevPAR) up 184% for year-to-date March versus the same period in 2022. This performance represents 82% of the RevPAR achieved for year-to-date March 2019 and positions the market on track for a full recovery in 2024, according to JLL forecasts.

The Heeton-led consortium comprises Heeton subsidiary Heeton Invesco Pte Ltd, Hong Heng Company Private Limited and NineCo Investments Pte Ltd.

JLL analysis suggests interest in Japanese hospitality assets remains buoyant on the back of the strong recovery and attractive borrowing costs compared to other markets worldwide.

Malaysia on a mission to woo GCS travellers

By
TTR WEEKLY
-

KUALA LUMPUR, 12 May 2023: Tourism Malaysia led tourism sales missions to Bahrain and Kuwait from 7 to 9 May to reach out to travel agencies and capitalise on the outbound tourism growth in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.

The delegation led by Tourism Malaysia’s senior director of the international promotion division (Asia/Africa), Manoharan Periasamy, visited Manama and Kuwait City to promote Malaysia as a top-of-the-mind tourist destination region.

In 2019, Malaysia welcomed 309,224 tourists from the GCC region delivering MYR3.2 billion (AED 2.8 billion) in tourism-related revenue, considerably higher when compared to other tourists visiting Malaysia.

The sales mission also strengthened Malaysia’s presence in the market, particularly to develop and promote Malaysia as a preferred holiday destination to GCC tourists and update the travel trade industry about new tourism products, packages, and attractions.

The delegation comprised 14 organisations, including hotels and resorts, travel agents, associations, and representatives from state tourism boards. For the Malaysian private sector participants in the mission, it was an ideal platform to enhance networking with their GCC counterparts.

A travel mart in both cities allowed Malaysian travel content suppliers to network, discuss potential partnerships and develop travel packages.

Among other sales mission activities, the Tourism Malaysia mission delegates met with Gulf Air, Kuwait Airways, and top travel agents.

Airline seat capacity in recovery mode

By
TTR WEEKLY
-

SINGAPORE, 12 May 2023: Asia has the highest airline seat capacity growing at 12.2%, and room rates record a booking increase of 26%, according to FCM Consulting’s latest Q1-2023 Global Trends Report.

Key takeaways

Q1-2023 has seen the positive momentum of H2-2022 continue in both business and leisure travel, with demand across the world forecast to be at 85.5% of 2019 levels this year.

Q1-2023 corporate travel demand remained strong despite the mixed economic conditions, with securing options and booking lower prices driving corporate travellers to book online early.

Domestic booking trends for Q1-2023 versus Q1-2022 saw a 27 % rise in online adoption, the booking days extended from 17 to 19, and the average days away held firm at 2.9. The report also showed that in-person meetings were the leading reason for corporate travel.

On the accommodation side, global hotel occupancy for the quarter was 60.46 %, only 4% points below the occupancy levels of 2019.

Air travel stability returns

After 2022, a year full of significant supply and demand imbalance, air travel is predicted to stabilise this year, seeing added capacity in H1-2023 and airfares moderating in the second half of 2023. Data showing Q1-2023 seat capacity was up 2.1% in Q4-2022 and down 6.8% in Q1-2019. Early forecasts show air capacity offered in 2023 will be just 2.5% short of 2019 volumes.

Lift off in Asia with a 12.2% seat growth

The region with the highest seat growth in Q1-2023 vs Q4-2019 was Asia, with a 12.2% increase, with most other regions averaging two % growth.

The exception to this was Europe which saw an 8.7% decline as the region balanced changes in demand – but the Northern Hemisphere summer will drive demand in Q2 and Q3-2023.

94% of airline seats reinstated in 2023

The forecast across seats offered from 20 major airlines for a full calendar year reports a 94% return of seats in 2023 versus 2019. Singapore Airlines, Qatar Airways and Qantas Airways have a seat forecast of 97% as travel normalises.

23% increase in business class fares in Asia

While the global average of international business class fares increased by 18% in the first two months, Asia experienced an increase of 23%. Discounted economic fares increased by 14% internationally, while Asia had a 15 % increase.

Mumbai to London saw the highest increase of 14% in discounted economy fares, while business class fares from Dubai to Shanghai increased by 47%.

Asia demand fuelling robust room rates

Q1-2023 saw all six regions surpass Q4-2022 average room rates by 4-26%, with the Middle East rising by 22%, Europe up 19%, Latin America increasing by 12%, Australia/New Zealand up 12%, North America rising 4%, and a 26% increase in Asia’s room rates. 

As China opened its borders, the rebound across Asia increased by 26%. Room rates in Tokyo averaged USD294, Singapore USD269, Seoul USD239 and Hong Kong USD224, making Tokyo the most expensive city to stay in Asia.

On the accommodation front, there is also a growing demand for one of the most successful traveller offerings in recent years – lifestyle hotels – focused on travellers who want to experience something unique.

Customers are looking for hotels with lobbies encouraging interaction and offering green initiatives, slick technology and well-being choices. 

“Despite mixed economic conditions, corporate travel demand remained strong in Q1-2023. High global inflation rates continue to put pressure on costs. The travel industry eco-system has reviewed operating costs, changed pricing, upgraded technology to drive efficiency, reduce underlying costs, and removed disruption and risks,” said FCM Asia managing director Bertrand Saillet.

“In-person meetings are the leading reason for corporate travel, but business travellers also book online early to secure lower prices. Domestic booking trends for Q1-2023 versus Q1-2022 also saw a 27% increase in online adoption,” added Saillet.

Methodology

The FCM Consulting quarterly report draws on global data from FCM and Flight Centre Travel Group corporate booking data for travel from January to March 2023 (Q1-2023).

The report uses Cirium aviation schedule data as of 24 April 2023. Airfare pricing variations exclude all taxes. The hotel average room rate (ARR) quoted is the average booked rate using FCM and Flight Centre Travel Group corporate booking data.
