StarCruises, in collaboration with ACG Festiverse and AniMania Festival, has launched “CosCruise: Cosplay Championship at Sea,” Malaysia’s first-ever onboard cosplay competition.

The event invites cosplayers from Malaysia and across the region to showcase their creativity and passion while sailing aboard the Star Voyager.

“‘CosCruise: Cosplay Championship at Sea’ is all about fun, creativity and celebrating fandoms like never before,” said Michael Goh, President of StarDream Cruises.

“We’re thrilled to welcome our guests, alongside cosplayers from Malaysia and the region, for an unforgettable adventure aboard Star Voyager departing from Port Klang, where imagination truly meets cruising,” Goh added.

The competition takes place from February 2 to 6, 2026, on a four-night cruise departing from Port Klang, with stops in Phuket and Singapore before returning to Port Klang.

Cosplayers can submit their entries on the company’s website from December 12, 2025, until January 12, 2026, 11:59 p.m. Malaysia time.

The company said in a press release that those with standout entries will be shortlisted and rewarded with a complimentary cruise on this exclusive sailing, where they will compete live at sea for the Grand Prize of RM2,000 and the title of First-Ever CosCruise Champion at Sea.

The names of the shortlisted contestants will be announced on the website on January 19, 2026.

The Star Voyager will call Port Klang home for nearly two months, from December 19, 2025, to February 2, 2026.

Every week, the ship sets sail with a choice of roundtrip cruises: a three-night cruise from Port Klang to Bintan and Singapore (departing every Friday) or a four-night cruise to Phuket and Singapore (departing every Monday). All sailings return to Port Klang.
