Star Cruises Limited
 PROFILE
Sorry, celebrity seekers: Mingling with Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts isn't part of Star Cruises' shipboard entertainment. One of the top cruise ship operators in the world, the company offers cruises to more than 200 destinations worldwide on its fleet of 17 ships (which operate under the Star Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, and Orient Lines names). Ships range from the "SuperStar Virgo" (2,000-passenger capacity) to the "MegaStar Taurus," designed for private charters. Star Cruises purchased 95% of Norwegian Cruise Lines in 2000, following the termination of a joint venture with Carnival Cruises. The family of Lim Goh Tong, head of Malaysian conglomerate Genting, controls nearly 55% of the company, which was founded in 1993.
