elcome aboard! This is the premier issue of
indulge, the magazine of Star Cruises, Asia’s
leading cruise operator. The first issue coincides
with the 20th anniversary of Star Cruises and we
invite you to join us in celebrating two decades of
freestyle cruising with a distinctive Asian style.
It’s a great idea, this combination of relaxed shipboard life, freedom from
formality, stylish surroundings, delicious food and great entertainment.
With indulge, we have served up this same mix of style, fun and entertainment, and spiced it with a dash of information about the ports that we visit
throughout Asia.
In another first, we are using Kota Kinabalu in Sabah as a home port for
SuperStar Aquarius and our story on page 26 introduces you to some of the
locals, the unique ginger-haired orang-utans, as well as some tips about
what to see and do around KK.
If you ever tire of sun and sea, you can always head to China’s premier ski
fields and the Genting Resort Secret Garden (page 32) with its unrivalled
facilities for winter sports. If the cold does not appeal, you could visit
Secret Garden in summer when the wildflowers bloom and revel in the
fresh mountain air. Or you could escape the chill with a dip in the hot
springs in various ports, many of which have healing properties (page 44).
As we welcome the Year of the Horse, what better souvenir than a gold
horse! Special Chinese New Year gold horse coins are available onboard
and our story on gold (page 57) will add sparkle to you reading.
We hope indulge adds elements of discovery and surprise to your
Star Cruises voyage.
Bon voyage.

Falling prices have spurred a
renewed demand for gold. Alexis
examines just why glittering
Hong Kong has become a central
hot-spot for the precious metal.
Andrew’s photography spans
many industries including travel,
portraits and fashion. He captures
the glamour for our fashion shoot
this month aboard the Star Pisces.
Marie works as a creative director,
fashion editor and stylist, and set
the scene by styling this month’s
fashion shoot – a retro style
evoking the Golden Age of travel.
Beijing-based Mark snaps on his
skis and takes to the slopes for
a look at Genting Resort Secret
Garden in Chongli, China’s new
premier skiing destination.

Fatt-choy
yu sheng
䠋帰泩䚮
Fatt-choy yu sheng, or just yu
sheng, is a Lunar New Year dish
prepared mainly for Chinese
people in Singapore and Malaysia. It’s particularly popular with
businessmen and working
people because its name has a
double meaning, implying better
luck and fortune for the coming
year. The main ingredients are
raw slices of fish and abalone,
with peeled carrot, white radish,
cucumber, pickled ginger, spring
onion, peeled pepper and
pomelo, ground peanuts, deepfried rice noodles and a special
kind of cracker called pok chui.
Once the dish is placed on the
table, tradition dictates that
diners vigorously toss the food
with their chopsticks, while
shouting “lo hei, lo hei!” (good
fortune!). Singapore restaurants
within the Park Hotel Group,
among others, serve this treat
during Lunar New Year.

BRILLIANT
BORDEAUX
High among elite wine producers, Château Lafite Rothschild
has established itself as the toast of Bordeaux by producing
red wines with remarkable consistency of character
ᙲᴑ᩾ᰛ⍋ᷕ᏷ᯆ᝸⋊ጆᣎᅘᣉᦕ⎕ᗤᛵᛆ⃃ᑑᡪ᩾ᅗ
ordeaux: the name
is synonymous with
the finest wines
sought after by connoisseurs the world over for its
complex character and sheer
quality. But even among wines
of this renowned French region,
there are ranks of excellence
that date back to the time of
Emperor Napoleon III, who
ordered a classification system
for the best Bordeaux wines to
be enjoyed by visitors from
around the world at the Exposition Universelle of 1855.
The result was the Bordeaux
Wine Official Classification of
1855, whose standards are still
in use today. Wines produced
by a total of 61 châteaux
across the three most important wine-producing regions
B
18
Q1 2014 i n d u l g e
within Bordeaux were ranked
first to fifth growths (crus),
with the prestigious First
Growth or Premier Grand Cru
Classé status given to only
four châteaux.
Château Lafite Rothschild,
one of these first four châteaux, is perhaps the most
famous and familiar name
among them. Situated in the
wine-producing village of
Pauillac within the Médoc
region to the north-west of
Bordeaux, the estate – one
of the largest in the region –
boasts 112 hectares of vineyards producing about
35,000 cases annually, of
which between 15,000 and
25,000 are First Growths.
The excellence is largely
due to the terroir: soils are
composed of gravel, sand,
limestone and some clay. The
average age of the Grand Cru
vines is more than 40 years,
with some more than 100
years old in La Gravière plot
– another key to the wines’
intense, concentrated and
complex character.
The estate’s origins date
back to 1234, when it was the
property of Gombaud de
Lafite. The name Lafite came
from the Gascon la hite,
meaning “small hill”.
Château Lafite was known
to have had vines that were
planted in the 15th century,
The estate was purchased in
the 17th century by the Ségur
family, who expanded the
vineyard and refined the
winemaking techniques.
By the dawn of the 18th
century, Château Lafite was a
symbol of success. But the
French Revolution brought an
end to the Ségur family’s
ownership of the estate and it
became public property.
In 1797, it was sold to a group
of Dutch merchants, and in
1868, Baron James Mayer de
Rothschild acquired the
estate, now known as
Château Lafite Rothschild.
From the 19th century, the
Château had to weather
several difficult periods,
including battling the 19thcentury wine blight and the
two world wars. But the
Rothschild family continued
investing in the business
despite the periods of hardship, and this continued to

Lafite Rothschild 1996
add to Château Lafite Rothschild’s reputation as a consistent producer of one of the
world’s best red wines.
These wines have an
unmistakable depth of character, particularly evident in
the Lafite millennium vintages, specifically the 2000,
2005, 2006 and 2008,
which all received scores of
more than 96 points by
respected American wine
critic Robert Parker.
In 1999, Parker awarded
the château’s 1996 vintage a
perfect score of 100 points,
praising it as possibly “the
biggest, largest-scaled Lafite
I have ever tasted” and
“unquestionably this renowned
estate’s greatest wine since
the 1986 and the 1982”.

GLOBAL
VISION
an Sri Lim Kok Thay remembers his childhood holidays
well; not for hours spent lazing
by the pool, but for the trips he
made with his father, then a
building contractor, to inspect
project sites around Malaysia. "That was his style,
to work and work even during the holidays. He
would fit in the family by taking us with him," says
Lim, Chairman and Chief Executive of the Genting
Group, which was founded by his father, Tan Sri
Lim Goh Tong, in 1965.
Hard work, honesty and integrity were the values
that guided Lim’s father and they also underpin his
son’s corporate life. Since he took over from his
father in 2003, Lim has diversified the group’s interests and expanded globally, and has always taken
care of the communities in which he works.
The Genting Group, which includes Star Cruises,
is now one of Asia’s leading companies, with interests in leisure and gaming, cruises, plantations,
energy and biotechnology. It has five public companies listed on stock exchanges, 58,000 employees and a combined market capitalisation of

Resorts World Las Vegas are under development.
None of this would have happened without
Lim’s vision, energy and passion for his business.
He travels extensively and is always on the lookout
for the next big thing that could form the basis of a
business opportunity.
He also has strong entrepreneurial skills and a
willingness to take calculated risks, but there’s
something else too: sheer hard work. His father,
who passed away in 2007, constantly reminded his
children that there is no shortcut to success – just
hard work and determination.
Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong led by example. Born in
Fujian Province, China, he was forced to give up his
studies and started working at the age of 16 when his
own father died. He moved to Malaysia to become an
apprentice carpenter for his uncle, eventually joining
the family construction business. His big break came
in 1969 when the Malaysian prime minister granted
him a licence to operate a casino in the Genting Highlands as part of a hotel he was developing there. Gaming went on to become the core of the Genting
Group’s highly profitable businesses.
There was never any doubt that the younger Lim
would enter the family business. He joined the
Genting Group in 1976 and gradually climbed the
corporate ladder, working alongside his father and
learning from him. Lim was instrumental in the
internationalisation of the Genting Group and was
the key driver behind the early developments of
the Group’s casino projects worldwide, such as the
Burswood Resort Casino (Australia), Adelaide
Casino (Australia), Lucayan Beach Resort (Bahamas) and Subic Bay Resort & Casino (Philippines).
Lim and his family were the key financiers for the
Mashantucket Pequot Tribe during the initial

Family values: Lim learned a lot from

development of Foxwood Casino in United States.
Foxwood Casino has since grown to be one of the
largest resort casinos in the world. Lim was also a
financier to the Seneca Indian Nation in the development of the Seneca Niagara Casino.
When the Australian government made the decision to increase the number of casino licences, Lim
predicted a decrease in profits and sold up the
businesses there as well as in the Bahamas. He
returned his focus to Malaysia and expanded the
Genting Highlands resort. In 1993, he established
Star Cruises, now the third-largest cruise operator
in the world and the largest in Asia, and expanded
the cruise business with the acquisition of Norwegian Cruise Line in 2000.
Family is very important to Lim, who is married
with three sons. “It is my family that inspires me,
fulfils me and keeps me going and grounded,” he
says. His eldest son, Lim Keong Hui, is Executive
Director of Genting Hong Kong. His second son
works for Resorts World Genting and the youngest
has joined Genting Energy.
“I tell them not to be afraid and just do it. That is
the philosophy my father passed on to me – that
we should not be afraid of making mistakes.”

MALAYSIA 欻ℕ嬎‭
he first time you come face to face
with an orang-utan can be a humbling and enthralling experience.
These huge, adorable and darkly
orange-coloured primates with
soft eyes and long arms are just a
few short genetic steps behind us humans on the
evolutionary trail – something that becomes immediately apparent when you meet one in person.
Ever-increasing logging and plantation activity,
and the resulting ever-decreasing Borneo rainforests, have forced the last remaining wild orangutan deep into the island’s inner jungles, making
these timid and graceful creatures extremely hard
to spot in the wild. Even a week-long trek into the
remote forests of the interior would need to be well
blessed to yield a sighting.
Their plight, and that of their fellow endangered
forest dwellers, has not gone unrecognised, and
several primary and secondary rainforest reserves
have been declared as safe havens for endangered
Borneo fauna and flora.
Most of the wildlife reserves and sanctuaries are
far from the madding crowd, which means that getting to them is often something of an epic journey
in its own right. There is one place, however, where
you can see the orang-utan and several other
endangered animals and plant life all in one userand inhabitant-friendly environment – a sort of
mini Borneo, if you will.
Located 30 minutes’ drive south from Sabah’s
capital of Kota Kinabalu – or KK as it’s often called
– is the Lok Kawi Wildlife Park, a 110-hectare area
that cares for a broad selection of Borneo’s bestknown animals and botanical delights, in a controllable yet semi-liberated environment. This means
that any visitor who wishes to see these species for
themselves can do so without the extensive financial and logistical demands of spending weeks in
the wild on the off-chance of a sighting.

Lok Kawi was opened in 2007 and has slowly
developed both in terms of its content and popularity. Although the wildlife park is quite roomy, two
to three leisurely hours are sufficient for following
the designated paths through the botanical and
wild-animal areas.
Most of the animals do not run wild here, for obvious reasons of safety, but they are certainly not confined as they would be in a regular zoo. The park
layout means it is somewhere between a zoo and
an open enclosure. It acts not only as a tourism facility but also as an educational and study centre, and
it even helps rehabilitate orphaned and injured animals into the wild. The centre also brings a greater
awareness of the urgent need to protect the environment of these endangered species.
As well as the orang-utan you can also see proboscis monkeys – endemic to Borneo – gibbons,
Borneo pygmy elephants, Malayan tigers, sun bears,
clouded leopards and the Sumatran rhinoceros, to
name but a few. The park is also a superb place for
bird-watching with several colourful hornbills and
other avian species just waiting to be spotted.
If you’re hoping to see the very best of Borneo’s
natural delights within a short timescale then
you’d be hard-pressed to beat Lok Kawi. It provides a great taste of the wild in an accessible

Some 200 kilometres east of Kota Kinabalu is
Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, which is
probably the best-known such facility in the world.
Also close to Sandakan in north-eastern Sabah, the
sanctuary is set in the 4,300-hectare Kabili-Sepilok
Forest Reserve.
The sanctuary was founded in 1964 and actively
rehabilitates orphaned, injured and previously
captive orang-utans with the eventual aim of
returning them to the wild.
Between 60 and 80 orang-utans inhabit the sanctuary and twice each day the wardens feed them
from treetop platforms. A few orang-utans generally
come to feed and visitors can trek via a walkway
and witness the feed from observation platforms.
Sea kayaking (centre

to experience the

t has only been operating for a year, but
Genting Resort Secret Garden, close to
Beijing, has already established itself as
the prime ski destination in the country,
with 30 runs and plans for another 50 in
the years to come.
The new resort is also attracting thousands of
visitors in spring, summer and autumn – people
who wish to arrange their vacation around various
sports and outdoor activities or who simply want
to breathe fresh, clean, pine-scented air and get
away from the hustle and bustle of cities in China,
as well as those further afield.
“The resort is targeted at urbanites who have
grown in affluence through hard work and are
looking for a place to relax and enjoy the environment,” says Datuk Lim Chee Wah, who has overseen the project since its early days. “We named it
the Secret Garden because not many people know
where it is. There’s huge potential. It will be wonderful to clean your lungs; this is where we saw tourism

develop in the West – in the Alps and Rocky Mountains. We will see this increasingly in China with the
nouveau riche and also working people.”
The new complex has been particularly welcomed by Beijing residents; Genting Resort Secret
Garden is about three hours by road from the Chinese capital – all along smooth new highways.
The resort is in the mountainous Chongli region
of Hebei Province, a favoured destination for snowsports aficionados. Skiers and snowboarders were
thrilled when they learned that a resort was opening with a firm commitment to offer challenging
skiing and world-class leisure facilities.
A five-star hotel, run with the same slick professionalism that is to be found at Genting operations
worldwide, ensures that the accommodation, as
well as après-ski wining and dining, is also at international levels of excellence.
From the outset, the plan for Genting Resort
Secret Garden was for it to be a year-round operation, with plenty of reasons to visit in the warmer

CHINA ᾼ⢚
Whistler is the model we anchored the plan on . . .
a community, sustainable and sensitive to nature
months, as well as during the ski season. Tennis
players, hikers, mountain bikers and swimmers are
all well catered for, and there are plans for several
golf courses within the extensive complex.
The master plan, drawn up by international
mountain-resort specialists Ecosign and San Francisco-based architects Hornberger + Worstell, connects five valleys and three mountain peaks, linking
more than 250 hectares of skiing area and more than
65 kilometres of trails. The core village project,
spread over 500,000 square meters, is found in the
third valley.
The aim is that Genting Resort Secret Garden will
ultimately be spoken of in the same breath as the
world-class resorts at Whistler in Canada or Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. Certainly it has already
set new standards for China, as an internationalstandard mega-resort within easy reach of Beijing
and other northern-China cities.
“Whistler is the model that we anchor our master
plan on. It is a very well developed community, and
sustainable and sensitive to nature,” says Lim. “That
took 30 years, whereas here in China we are trying
to build it in 10 to 12 years.”
In the near future, the resort will become even
more easily accessible. A station on the high-speed
railway line from Beijing to Xinjiang is planned for
a location close to the resort, which would cut the
journey time from the capital to about an hour.
Flights from other parts of China – and nearby
Asian cities – will also be able to land at the nearby
airport, allowing city dwellers to be on the ski
slopes in just half a day.
The resort caters to all levels of skiing proficiency, from beginners – who can sign up for lessons – to seasoned practitioners. Visitors who don’t
want to hurtle down the slopes can try their hand
at ice skating or tubing, or simply relax and unwind
in the ample grounds of the Genting Grand hotel.
The property offers a total of 265 guest rooms

When to go
Billed as a year-round
resort, there are plenty
of outdoor activities
and facilities to visit
during any season.

and suites, each with room for four people, cooking
facilities and plush décor. Some mountain-view
suites have an outdoor Jacuzzi, allowing guests to
enjoy a comfortable soak while taking in the awesome rural scenery.
The steep slopes that carry skiers in winter are
used by mountain bikers in the warmer months. A
race organised by Mountain Bike China drew more
than 100 competitors last summer – a further
endorsement of how highly rated the resort’s trails
are becoming.
Guests can also take in the picturesque scenery
and fresh air along hiking trails with names as imaginative and evocative as the Deer Path, the Marmot’s
Garden, Through the Clouds, and Stairway to
Heaven.
When winter comes, the mountainsides are
blanketed with snow and coloured in places with
the fluorescent blur of downhill skiers. In years to
come, Genting Secret Garden Resort will build on
its already sterling reputation for snow-sports
excellence; the ultimate plan features a total of 87
ski runs serviced by 22 ski lifts.
The figures are mind-boggling. But thinking large
scale, and long term, is commonplace in the China
of today and, of course, very much a part of the
Genting philosophy, whether it’s building big
resorts or establishing a fleet of cruise ships.
In years to come, Genting Resort Secret Garden is
certain to hold international tournaments, which
will give it a higher profile on the world snow-sports
map. Even a decade ago, the idea of a luxury ski
resort in China would have sounded fanciful, but
today the nation’s now-affluent middle class has
ample money to spend on leisure pursuits and,
increasingly, demand the same facilities and service
standards they have witnessed on trips overseas.
The Genting resort is a secret they are already
sharing – with both like-minded friends in China
and those further afield.

or the Chinese, tea is not only a drink but also a facet of culture that
brings people together. Occasionally, it unites lands: more than 150
years ago tea played its part in connecting the island of Taiwan with
the outside world. When English merchant John Dodd arrived
in the 1860s, he marketed Taiwan’s oolong tea under the name
“Formosa Tea” (Formosa being the old name for the island). With the
help of local merchant Lee Chun-sheng, Dodd sold the product in New York City,
where it was an instant hit, propelling Taiwan and its tea to international fame.
Dadaocheng, a small area in Taipei’s Datong District and bound to the rest of the
world by the Danshui River, was instrumental in shipping Taiwanese tea to the

West. Merchant shipping underwent a boom
period during the Xianfeng Emperor’s reign (18501861) and the area, which was once used for drying
crops grew with the commerce to become a major
tea-trading hub, dotted with street markets, teashops, tea factories and foreign trading companies.
This growth soon led to the establishment of
other businesses and industries, while the building
of an extensive railway network in the late 19th
century helped to connect Dadaocheng to the rest
of the island and beyond. It turned it into an important hub for commodities such as herbs and fabrics, which came from all across China. The area
remained prosperous from the late Qing Dynasty
until the demise of the Japanese colonial period at
the end of World War II.
During Dadaocheng’s heyday, five foreign
consulates, the headquarters of six major foreign
firms and nearly 100 tea companies were packed
into a 500-metre stretch of Guide Street close to
the Danshui River. Tea-company owners and
tycoons built luxury residences here and in neighbouring areas. During this boom period, the scent
of tea infused the air and fashionable young
women would flock to the stores where they
worked during the harvesting season to select the
best leaves. As then American consul in Taiwan
James W. Davidson put it, the harvest season was
a grand social occasion, and tea soon became
known as the “merry leaf” among the locals.
Today, Dadaocheng is not quite the dynamic
place it once was, but Dihua Street and the surrounding area still draws crowds of shoppers in
search of traditional Chinese goods and herbs,
especially in the run-up to Lunar New Year. To walk

through the streets is to step back in time: some of
the teahouses here were established more than a
century ago and visitors can view a variety of
architectural styles, from Baroque to Minnan. One
building of note is the Jin-Ji Tea Company at 73
Guide Street, a small structure shaped in Renaissance style and built by the late tea mogul Chen
Tien-lai. A few steps away, Dodd’s business partner
and philanthropist Lee is remembered at Lee
Chun-sheng Memorial Christ Presbyterian Church.
In recent years some Dadaocheng teahouses
have been promoting the history and culture surrounding Taiwanese tea. A case in point is Chen
Wey Tea Room, which occupies the former residence of the late renowned fortune-teller Lin
Wu-hu. The house, on Dihua Street, is the area’s
oldest building in the Minnan style. On entering the
shops, visitors will be treated to a cup of tea by one
of the owners, Lu Li-hsien, with none of the hard
sell that often characterises this kind of store. Lu
likes to show visitors around so that they can see
the old paraphernalia that goes with traditional
tea-drinking.
Another tea-related attraction is Chaoyang Tea
Park tucked away in an alley at Chongqing North
Road. The first tea park in Taipei, Chaoyang is a
lively oasis featuring a variety of tea bushes, such
as jin shuan, jade oolong and assam. As you stroll
along the park, take note of the floor plaques that
illustrate the process of tea-making. The park also
houses Wang Tea, a factory building that has been
around for five generations. One remarkable feature is a room where tea leaves are dried over a
charcoal fire, a traditional method commonly used
in the old days. Marketing manager Hsu Jing-te, a
son-in-law of the Wang family, says tea is like a glue
that binds people together in Taiwan. Since he
became part of the family, he has become a big fan
of tea and is keen to share his passion.
“Good tea can stand the test of the time,” he says.
“The charcoal fire is as warm as it always was.
When you have time, come in for a cup of tea.”

n the northern parts of Chongqing, the waters
of the North Hot Springs are a steady 38°C and
are thought to relieve tension, skin and muscular ailments, and sooth digestion and neuropathic conditions. Guests at the newly opened
Banyan Tree Chongqing Beibei can benefit from
soothing hot-spring waters that contain calcium
sulphate, magnesium and potassium – with
goldthread herbs added for extra relaxation – in a
luxurious resort setting.
Hainan Island is also popular for thermal soaks,
with about 75 hot-spring sites developed so far.
Hot-spring resorts on the island include the Pearl
River Nantian Resort & Spa, with 67 pools . On the
other side of the island, the massive Mission Hills
Resort Haikou has an extensive range of facilities
in a more luxurious setting.
In Guangdong Province, Zhuhai – an easy ferry
ride from Hong Kong – is home to China’s first Japanese-style open-air hot springs. Opened in 1998,
the Imperial (Yu Wenquan) Hot Springs Resort, has
about 20 kinds of natural hot springs, as well as
massage facilities and sauna rooms.

ore than 100 hot springs are located all over Taiwan, with the most
in the north, encompassing Taipei as well as Wulai, which is famous
for its skin-rejuvenating sodium bicarbonate springs.
Beitou district's hot springs are sulphurous, with steam constantly rising
from the valley. The area was developed during the Japanese occupation
between 1895 and 1945 and renovated in the 1990s, transforming Beitou into
a modern resort town with hotels and spas. Villa 32, a resort managed by the
Relais & Châteaux company, offers high-end traditional Japanese bathing.
Taiwan has a mix of bathing styles, but most public baths require guests to
wear swimsuits.

Korea

Koreans tend to love all things spicy and this
extends to their love of heat. This is one of
the reasons that bathing is very much a part
of the everyday culture. Derived from the
ondol, a heated floor in traditional Korean
housing, the jimjilbang – which roughly
translates to public bathhouse – is a bathing
and sauna complex where Koreans often go
to socialise and relax.
Outdoor bathing at W Seoul Walkerhill
ᣌ⃃᷒ᓐጢᰛW᩾ᙏᛵ፮ᏊᦲᲵ
here are more than 400 naturally occurring hot springs in South Korea,
distributed evenly throughout the country, and bathing facilities range
from the everyday jimjilbang to more luxurious hot-spring resorts. Like
most traditional jimjilbangs, Silloam Fire Pot Sauna in the heart of Seoul has
hot steaming thermal baths and sauna rooms, and it offers traditional Korean
scrubs. The baths feature waters with different healing ingredients, including
charcoal for detoxification and the mugwort herb to invigorate. For a five-star
experience in the city, the AWAY Spa at the W Seoul Walkerhill uses hot-spring
water in its outdoor soaking tubs.
Outside Seoul, the Bugok Hot Springs is one of the hottest places to bathe, with
water temperatures at about 78°C – hot enough to gently boil an egg. Located at
the foot of Mount Deokamsan, the sulphuric hot-spring water is thought to help
breathing difficulties, skin diseases and joint pain. Busan also has numerous
spas fed by hot springs, many of them extremely large and several by the sea.
As in Japan, Korean bathing takes place without clothing, with men and
women in separate areas. Jimjilbangs provide pyjama-like outfits for guests.

hile hot springs lie throughout Japan,
the two main regions they are found
are around the city of Noboribetsu, in
the northern Hokkaido prefecture, and Beppu, in
the south-western island of Kyushu. Dai-ichi Takimotokan in Noboribetsu is one of the largest spas
in Asia. Founded in 1858, the sprawling complex
includes 30 large baths with seven different types
of healing water including one with sodium, calcium and chloride, and which is believed to be
good for treating rheumatism.
In Beppu, the Takegawara spa – the city’s most
famous onsen – is known for its sand baths. Dating
back to 1879 and now housed in a building with a
Chinese-style tiled roof, guests dress in yukata –
Japanese robes – and are packed tightly in the sand,
where they stay in place for about 15 minutes. The
warmth of the sand comes from the thermal
springs and is said to help to heal bruises and ease
stiff joints.
Onsens can also be enjoyed in the urban areas,
including the cities of Tokyo and Osaka which have
thermal waters pumped in from the surrounding
areas. In Tokyo, the Oedo Onsen Monogatari in
Odaiba is a theme-park-like hot spring complex
built to resemble Japan's Edo period. Visitors dress
in yukatas and wander around an indoor, traditional Edo fair where they can buy snacks and play
carnival games. The massive Spa World in Osaka
has two floors, one with Asian baths and the other
with European-style tubs, as well as saunas and
swimming pools.

Traditionally, they are single sex, and bathing takes place naked, but
more modern onsens allow mixed-gender bathing – and swimsuits.

This spectacular array of gold jewellery and collectible objects is just a small sample of what shoppers can find in display windows across Hong
Kong. The city is renowned as a shopping paradise
and it particularly lives up to its glittering reputation when it comes to gold.
In comparison to the Western retail market, most
gold products offered in Hong Kong are 24-karat –
pure gold (zuk gam in Cantonese) or what is also
referred to as 999.9 purity.
Apart from the norm of pure gold, the absence

craftsmanship, and strong local jewellery
brands make Hong Kong an attractive hub
to shop for gold, says Dennis Lau, Director of
Sales Operations at Chow Sang Sang, one of
the city’s leading chains.
“In the past 10 years, the jewellery business has
been quite good, which has encouraged investment in the design and production technology
industries,” says Lau, who is also Director of General Affairs with the Hong Kong Jewellers’ and
Goldsmiths’ Association.
Gold is highly esteemed within Chinese culture,
symbolising wealth, luck and prosperity. In general,
Hongkongers favour simple gold or diamond jewellery for daily wear, retailers acknowledge. The
ostentatious pieces seen in display windows are
generally reserved for weddings and Lunar New
Year, the key annual occasions for people to purchase gold jewellery and collectibles. Indeed, these
products abound with auspicious Chinese symbols and sayings.

leading home-grown chain – nominated its bestselling wedding items as the thick bracelets
engraved with elaborate dragon and phoenix
designs and the Chinese double-happiness character as well as the pig necklace with its overt fertility symbolism. The arrival of Lunar New Year sees
a burst of new designs based on the zodiac animal
of the year, often in the form of stylised cartoon
figurines, as with the snake in 2013. They are
viewed as omens of prosperity, with certain
objects, such as ingots, serving feng shui purposes.
In the past year, a dive in gold prices – a drop of
more than US$400 an ounce over the second quarter to less than US$1,200 – prompted a sharp surge
in worldwide demand for gold, the fourth-highest
level of demand on record in terms of value.
Much of this voracious appetite for gold stemmed
from Asia, driven by India and Mainland China,
which together accounted for nearly 60 percent of
the demand for jewellery and nearly half for coins
and bars. These countries also generated more than
77 percent of the 155-ton worldwide increase in
demand during Q2, says the World Gold Council.
Mainland China also had a spillover effect in Hong
Kong, which experienced the world’s highest percentage growth in demand in Q2 – 66 percent to a
record 12.1 tons.
The council credited the buying spree in Hong
Kong to Mainland Chinese tourists as well as local
customers taking advantage of low prices to buy

wedding jewellery. Sure enough, Chow Tai Fook
reported a 63 percent year-on-year growth in revenue in Q2. Gold prices have slowly risen from
their three-year low at the end of June, and major
retailers say sales have returned to normal.
Mainland Chinese consumers have increasingly
played an outsized role in the Hong Kong gold
retail scene, as cross-border travel restrictions have
been progressively relaxed since 2003. Before
then, mainlanders comprised about 10 percent of
Chow Sang Sang’s Hong Kong customers in Hong
Kong, Lau says. Since then, they have steadily
increased to more than 60 percent, exceeding
locals, who make up about 30 percent.
The World Gold Council forecasts that the mainland’s demand for the precious metal will continue
to increase in the long term, given the country’s
“growing middle class, relatively high inflation
expectations and the ingrained cultural significance of gold”.
Pricing aside, Chow Sang Sang offers the same
selection of gold products in its Hong Kong and
mainland stores, Lau says, adding that there is no
need to localise its offerings as mainlanders have
acquired knowledge on par with Hong Kong shoppers. He sees an increasing shift towards purchases
of diamond, rather than gold, jewellery – a trend, he
says, that would complement, rather than diminish, gold’s standing within Chinese culture, in
which gold is forever.

AT THE HELM
Which is your favourite port? There are many
beautiful ports around the world but two stand out
among them – Hong Kong and Sydney. Imagine
entering Hong Kong in the beautiful morning light
and getting closer to the absolutely spectacular
skyline, with the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre shining like a jewel. The same goes for
Sydney: passing the natural sight of the Heads, and
a few moments later being inside sheltered waters
and seeing the Opera House and the Harbour
Bridge. I don’t need to get paid to do that!
Which is your favourite stretch of sea? Sailing
into Halong Bay in Vietnam is just amazing, with its
archipelago of hundreds of limestone islands –
extremely beautiful!
Tell us about a typical day on board. I spend
a lot of time on the bridge navigating the ship in
and out of ports and also assisting the bridge team
in heavy traffic. We have meetings and spend time
on inspections all over the ship. I also walk around
the ship and talk to guests and the crew.
Describe your first voyage with Star Cruises.
That was on 9 August, 1998, on the SuperStar Leo
leaving the shipyard in Papenburg for sea trials in
the North Sea. That was also a spectacular moment
for Star Cruises as the SuperStar Leo was the first
ship to be newly built for the company.
Which is your favourite place on the ship?
Certainly the bridge where we navigate, but
whenever I get hungry I just love the
Samurai Japanese restaurant on Deck 8.
Which is the most difficult port to
navigate? The straits of Singapore
and Malacca are considered some of
62
Q1 2014 i n d u l g e
the busiest shipping lanes in the world. We have to
be on our toes at all times in order to navigate this
area safely.
Which is your most memorable cruise on the
SuperStar Virgo? It was when we came from Sin-
Captain Magnus
Gottberg of the
SuperStar Virgo
"ᰤጚ៧ᾊ"ᰑᜳ
Magnus Gottberg
gapore’s Sembawang shipyard in 2012 after completion of a US$25 million renovation and seeing
how much the guests enjoyed the improvements.
Do you interact much with guests? We have
one formal night a week when I meet hundreds of
guests, which I really like. But we must not forget
that the captain is on board to ensure the safety
and the safe navigation of the ship, so there is limited time for me to interact, even though I am acting as a figurehead for the whole ship.
Have you ever been afraid at sea? I have only
been afraid once and that was when I was a teenager. We were in a sailing yacht and we had a severe
leak, but we managed, so it ended happily.
How have cruises changed since you started
your career? When I started working on cruise
ships, only very few people could afford the trips.
Today many more people can enjoy the excitement
of a cruise ship and see new destinations.
What is your best tip for seasickness? Very
few guests will get seasick as the ships have grown so
big that the effect from rough seas is limited.
If you could captain the world’s greatest
cruise, where would you go? That
would be a very long cruise: I would
include Sydney, Halong Bay, Hong
Kong, Alaska, the Panama Canal, and
see the Norwegian fjords and even
Saint Petersburg in Russia.

he Star Cruises
concept was born
amid the crystal
waters of the
Bahamas. It was the mid 1980s
and Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, then
an executive with the Genting
Group run by his father, Tan Sri
Lim Goh Tong, was working
on the development of the
Grand Lucayan Beach Resort
on Grand Bahama.
As the resort took shape, he
watched a series of sleek
cruise liners sailing by; North
America’s budding cruise
industry was just taking off
and Lim Kok Thay (also
known as KT Lim) realised it
was only a matter of time
before Asians were looking to
holiday in the same way.
“When I returned to Asia I
saw the potential for a worldclass cruise line here,” he says.
His reasoning was sound: Asia
had a growing prosperity and
beautiful natural scenery –
perfect for cruising. And
importantly, there was no competition in Asia at that time.
From the start KT Lim, now
T
70
Q1 2014 i n d u l g e
Chairman and Chief Executive
of the Genting Group, wanted
to do things differently; he
called it “freestyle cruising”.
There would be no ties or
tuxedos, just a relaxed resort
ambience where guests
choose what to do and when.
His ships would be floating
five-star resorts for everyone.
Today, KT Lim’s vision has
become the award-winning
Star Cruises, Asia’s leading
cruise operator which, in 2013,
celebrated its 20th anniversary. It has a fleet of 19 ships
cruising to 200 destinations
under the brands Star Cruises
and Norwegian Cruise Lines.
But success didn’t happen
overnight: though KT Lim was
sure of the idea for an Asian
cruise operator he needed to
convince his father, the late
Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong, who
was Chairman of the company.
Together they visited the
local cruise industry based in
Miami and luckily Lim Goh
Tong liked what he saw. “It
was my first acquaintance
with the industry,” he wrote in
his 2004 autobiography, My
Story. “I told myself if I went
into this industry I would buy
the biggest and best cruise
ships . .. and make my entry as
a major player in Asia.”
The opportunity arose in
1993. An operator with two
newly built 1,700-passengercapacity ships had run into
financial difficulties. Genting
made a cash offer of US$162.5
million, which was accepted,
and Star Cruises was incorporated in the same year.
Though the cruise industry
was non-existent in Asia at
that time, Lim Goh Tong
stood firm. “I was convinced
investing in Asia’s cruise
industry was the right move
at the right time,” he wrote.
The first Star Cruises liner
Star Aquarius arrived in
Singapore in December 1993
for its maiden voyage. In 1998
the company took delivery
of its first new-build ship
SuperStar Leo followed by
SuperStar Virgo in 1999. The
new ships were an instant hit.
In November 2000 Star
Cruises listed on the Hong
Kong Stock Exchange. In the
same year it expanded with
the purchase of Norwegian
Cruise Line, making Star
Cruises the third-largest cruise
line operator in the world.
The 12 new cruise ships
allowed Star Cruises to tap
into the more established
markets of North America
and Europe, with cruises to
destinations from Hawaii and
the Bahamas to the Mediterranean, Canada and the
Mexican Riviera.
In November 2002, the
dual arrival of SuperStar Aries
and SuperStar Leo in Shanghai made maritime history: it
was the first time that two
world-class cruise liners had
been berthed alongside each
other at Gao Yang Pier.
Star Cruises has kept up a
regime of continuous

Hong Kong-based Star Pisces
and Sanya-based SuperStar
Aquarius were renovated in
2011, and in 2012 SuperStar
Virgo underwent a major refit.
Norwegian Cruise Lines
listed on New York Stock
Exchange in January 2013.
The investment continues
with the order of a brand-new
4,500-passenger-capacity
ship, designed especially for
the Asian market.
In 2013, Star Cruises was
inducted into the prestigious
Travel Trade Gazette’s Travel
Hall of Fame after winning
Best Cruise operator in the
Asia Pacific for 10 consecutive
years. In the same year it was
also voted Asia’s Leading
Cruise Line at the World
Travel Awards for the second
year running.
