World Dream First Cruise Ship To Restart Service In Singapore With Debut Homeport Deployment On 6 November

Enjoy a series of brand new 2 and 3-night “Super Seacation” experience too

Genting Cruise Lines is pleased to announce that Dream Cruises will  be the first cruise brand to restart service in Singapore with World Dream, as she makes her  homeport debut from 6 November 2020 onwards. World Dream will also be the newest built cruise  ship to homeport in Singapore, offering a series of brand new 2 and 3-night “Super Seacation”  experience for Singapore residents during the school and year-end holidays.  

In wake of the COVID-19 global pandemic, Dream Cruises continues to be at the forefront as the  first cruise brand in the world to resume operations in a safe manner with two key homeports in  Asia, starting with the successful deployment in Taiwan in July 2020 and subsequently in Singapore  this November. Working very closely with the Singapore government, Dream Cruises was granted  approval by the local authorities to start a pilot based on the company’s stringent and enhanced  health and safety protocols, complemented by its exemplary safety track record during its first two  months of operations in Taiwan. 

With the safety and well-being of our guests and crew being the highest priority, Dream Cruises has completely re-examined and enhanced all of its health, hygiene and operating protocols to ensure  the safest environment for everyone across its fleet and in accordance with the local authorities’  strict guidelines including stringent health screening processes prior to embarkation, disembarkation  and safe distancing measures on board; thorough sanitization and disinfection and enhanced  hygiene practices for guest cabins, crew member quarters, public areas and recreational facilities;  safe food and beverage handling procedures; and, 100% fresh air ventilation in guest and crew  cabins, as well as public spaces. 

“Due to the invaluable support and confidence of the Singapore authorities in Genting Cruise Lines,  the inaugural homeport deployment of World Dream in Singapore marks another important  milestone in the recovery process post COVID-19 for the local cruise tourism industry,” said Mr Michael Goh, President of Dream Cruises. “Genting Cruise Lines is proud to continue its long and  productive relationship with Singapore since 1993. We are confident that the resumption of  operations in Singapore will further contribute and benefit the various local supply and related  network chain of the cruise tourism sector,” added Mr Michael Goh. 

“Public health and safety are our utmost priority as we reopen various sectors of the economy in a  gradual and safe manner. We are glad to work with Genting Cruise Lines on the cruise pilot with a  focus on the necessary safe management measures to ensure the safety of passengers and  crew. Genting has sailed from Singapore for the past 2 decades, and our longstanding partnership  puts us in a good stead for the cruise pilot starting from November,” said Mr Keith Tan, Chief  Executive, Singapore Tourism Board. 

In conjunction with World Dream’s homeport deployment in Singapore, Genting Cruise Lines  remains committed in creating career opportunities for Singaporeans through the signing of a  Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Nanyang Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic,  Singapore Polytechnic, Temasek Polytechnic, Republic Polytechnic and the Institute of Technical  Education. Under this collaborative effort, a series of joint activities, learning projects and internship  programs will be made available to students and graduates who are keen to explore a career in the  cruise and tourism related sector. 

“We are delighted to be the first cruise ship to restart operations here in Singapore and to give a  much needed boost to the local tourism industry. We are able to provide Singapore residents with  more vacation options beyond land-based resorts and we hope to bring back the joy of cruising with  safety being paramount,” said Mr Michael Goh. 

Evoking the sense of a “vacation away” that travellers can’t get with a traditional staycation in a  hotel, Dream Cruises’ “Super Seacation” encompasses both a 2 and 3-Night cruises on the open  seas. During these journeys, guests will have ample opportunity to explore all that World Dream has  to offer, a cruise ship that is currently ranked 9th in the ‘Large Resort Ship’ category by the world  renowned Berlitz Cruising and Cruise Ships 2020 Guide, commonly referred to as the “bible” of the  cruise industry. Guests will have the opportunity to experience the finest Asian and international  dining, spacious comfort, exceptional service, enthralling entertainment and inspirational  experiences that will bring favourite tourist destinations on board World Dream. 

To further ensure the health and safety of our guests, a mandatory COVID-19 test will be conducted  on all guests aged 13 and above before embarking on World Dream and all guests aged seven or  above are also required to present their personal TraceTogether Token or registered TraceTogether  App at the time of check-in.
