Resorts World Cruises, a new Asian luxury and dynamic lifestyle cruise brand will have its global debut in Singapore on 15 June 2022 with the Genting Dream. With its inception, Resorts World Cruises aims to position itself as the leading and best cruise line in the region for Asian and internationally sourced passengers, providing diverse international experiences, which can also be customized by the passengers. Resorts World Cruises is a successor for Dream Cruises, which was a part of failed Genting Hong Kong.
The 18-deck 150,695 gross tons Genting Dream can accommodate 3,352 passengers, with a space ratio of 45 gross tons per passenger, the most spacious ship in Asia. And with 1,600 crew, she will have the best service with the most crew per passenger compared with any other ship in the region. “The Palace” is a ‘luxury ship-within-a-ship’ at the top deck with 142 suites, including its own exclusive restaurant, bar, sundeck, spa, gym and other facilities with butler service. Genting Dream will cater to a wide Asian demographic that will provide an international cruise experience exceeding its peers.
Resorts World Cruises is a brand extension of Resorts World, a global brand with 46 properties in 8 countries spanning 4 continents, welcoming over 80 million visitors a year and served by more than 30,000 employees. The latest Resorts World property, the US $4.3 billion Resorts World Las Vegas opened in June 2021, the newest integrated resort and the only one to be built on the Las Vegas Strip after more than 10 years and features a 26,000 sq. feet Singapore-inspired Zouk Nightclub, the latest and most exciting nightlife attraction in Las Vegas.
Resorts World Cruises is supported by a management with over 5 decades of international hospitality experience and close to 3 decades of global cruise experience. Resorts World Cruises will be a game changer, going above and beyond with its rich Asian heritage in culture, hospitality and cuisine, complemented by exciting music and entertainment onboard. Genting Dream is the only halal-friendly cruise ship in the Asia-Pacific region with both certified ‘Halal’ and authentic vegetarian, including Jain vegetarianism, in addition to Western, Japanese, Chinese and other dining venues.
“We started our cruise operations 30 years ago in Singapore and we are excited to again launch the first Resorts World Cruises in Singapore, the first country to re-open cruising in the region. Resorts World Cruises will have its headquarters in Singapore and is committed to making Singapore the leading cruise hub in Asia,” said Tan Sri KT Lim, Executive Chairman of Resorts World Cruises. “We also appreciate the support and trust of the Chinese leasing banks in allowing Resorts World Cruises to charter the Genting Dream,” he continued.
Resorts World Cruises’ cruising lifestyle will be refreshing and exciting on so many levels, catering to all walks of life through a combination of diverse Asian and international offerings and activities. This is further complemented by options to curate and customize overall experiences from ship to shore, based on personal preferences with a pulse on today’s trending lifestyle activities. It all begins before the start of the cruise with a multitude of options to plan, choose and tailor activities according to preferences, including exciting choices to substitute inclusive-meals in the main dining rooms for alternative ala carte food and beverage in specialty restaurants and redemption for similar values at other outlets.
“In response to the evolving market demands and emerging needs for a personalize travel experience, vacationers can now have the ultimate indulgence to enjoy a kaleidoscope of lifestyle experiences on board Genting Dream. With Resorts World Cruises, we hope vacationers can immerse in a truly unique holiday that is rich in Asian heritage with diverse international experiences on the high seas”, said Mr. Michael Goh, President & Head of International Sales of Resorts World Cruises.
