The MS Superstar Sagittarius is a cruise ship formerly owned by Star Cruises but is now handled by Kong Way. Her new name is Omar III. She was built in 1972 at Wärtsilä Shipyard in Finland as the Sun Viking for Royal Caribbean International. She was then owned by Star Cruises from 1999 to 2005. She was transferred to Kong Way in year 2006, with her new livery and paint job. Kong Way purchased Sagittarius because of the plan of Star Cruises to sell her to Louis Cruise Lines. Kong Way at that time needed an additional ship to their fleet. Today, she is known as the Oriental Dragon as is running cruises in Hong Kong.
Famous quotes containing the word star:
“I have drunk ale from the Country of the Young
And weep because I know all things now:
I have been a hazel-tree, and they hung
The Pilot Star and the Crooked Plough
Among my leaves in times out of mind....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
