Star Flyer arrived at its new homeport of Papeete, Tahiti on 26 December 26 2007 to a traditional Tahitian welcome. Outriggers and fire boats shooting water jets ushered the ship into the port, while local dignitaries and hundreds of well-wishers greeted the ship, along with performances by Tahitian musicians and dancers. Local dance troupe O Tahiti E performed quayside, followed by a plaque exchange between the ship’s master, Captain Bruno Borowka, and Marc Collins, Tahiti’s Minister of Tourism.
