Liners to invade Penang – again


Grand entrance: The luxurious Star Clipper will sail into Penang with just about 170 passengers, some said to be among the ultra-rich of the world, on Monday.

GEORGE TOWN: Four cruise vessels including a traditional sailing ship full of gleaming white sails are bringing about 10,000 people to Swettenham Pier on Monday.

Instead of the ‘bigger-is-better’ multi-deck ocean liners, the 111.5m-long Star Clipper will be carrying only up to 170 passengers who are expected to be from among the ultra-rich of the world.
