Genting Hong Kong – a subsidiary of gaming giant Genting Group which owns the Resorts World brand – has moved to strengthen its position as Asia’s largest cruise line (and number three globally) with a new, premium offering: Dream Cruises. It will be the third cruise brand of Genting Hong Kong, following Star Cruises and Crystal Cruises, and aims to be the region’s most luxurious, with “the most spacious ships in Asia Pacific.”
On December 3, company executives laid the keel of the new venture’s first ship Genting Dream, at Germany’s Lloyd Werft shipyard, which the company acquired in September. The vessel will be launched in November 2016 and joined by a second ship, World Dream, a year later.
Genting Dream will have the capacity to carry 3,400 guests served by 2,000 staff, and will house 35 restaurants and bars. The ship will also have the Genting Club, a boutique hotel within a hotel, in which guests will receive exclusive privileges, including priority access, special events and European butler service.
The itineraries of Dream Cruises will include a two night cruise around the Pearl River Delta, a five night cruise between Vietnam and Sanya and a seven night cruise starting at Nansha port.
