1. Genting Dream
For travellers who want to experience cruising without taking a long holiday, Genting Dream is a convenient option for a short escape from Singapore. The ship combines a wide selection of onboard entertainment with regional itineraries that showcase several popular destinations around Southeast Asia.
The cruise offers different sailing lengths, including two-, three- and five-night trips, giving travellers flexibility when planning their holidays. Shorter sailings can be particularly attractive to first-time cruisers, while longer itineraries allow passengers to explore more destinations without needing to take an extended period of leave from work.
Depending on the departure date, itineraries may include stops such as Melaka, Port Klang, Penang and Phuket. Selected longer voyages can also travel towards South Bali and Lombok, giving passengers the opportunity to combine a relaxing cruise with visits to some of the region’s popular coastal destinations.
What to Expect Onboard
One of Genting Dream’s strengths is its combination of Asian influences and international cruise experiences. Dining options include a variety of Asian and international cuisines, making it an approachable choice for travellers who prefer familiar flavours while still wanting to try something different.
There is also plenty to keep passengers occupied between port visits. The ship features swimming pools, live performances, family-friendly entertainment and recreational activities such as a ropes course and zipline.
Families with younger children can make use of the Little Dreamers Club, where supervised activities provide children with their own space to play and socialise. Adults, meanwhile, can spend time at the spa, enjoy the ship’s restaurants and bars, or catch an evening performance.
For travellers who prefer a more private and premium experience, The Palace offers an upgraded accommodation concept with exclusive facilities and additional services. It can be a suitable option for guests who want the convenience of a large cruise ship while enjoying a quieter and more luxurious environment.
