Luxury At Sea: The Palace Suite on Dream Cruises is the Ultimate Bespoke Getaway With Priority Perks and Butler Service

PUBLISHED November 17th, 2021 06:00 am | UPDATED November 24th, 2021 11:03 am

Even as travel looks set to take off in the months ahead, many of us aren’t up for the hassle and risks of jetsetting just yet. But that doesn’t mean you need to be grounded in Singapore this holiday season – we’re talking about cruise getaways, of course. For a dose of sun, sea, and sumptuous luxury, you couldn’t do better than Dream Cruises’ “ship within a ship” paradise: The Palace . Think the ultimate bespoke suite experience aboard the World Dream , which comes rigged out with thrills of all sorts: spectacular dining concepts, ziplines, and even a waterslide park!

Palatial Luxury at Sea

As the name suggests, a stay in The Palace will leave you feeling as pampered as royalty. A world away from your ordinary staterooms, this top-tier ship-within-a-ship concept spans over 140 suites across four categories (from S$699 per pax). There’s the spacious 37-square-metre Palace Suite, all the way to the Palace Villa with its 224 square metres of pure extravagance.

That’s not forgetting a slew of VIP facilities, including a private pool and spa – it’s basically your exclusive clubhouse at sea. Here’s the lowdown on the many, many perks that a stay in one of The Palace’s suites will get you on board:

The Suite Life

Each suite in The Palace is a luxe cocoon, beginning with the ‘Dream Bed’ draped in silky Italian bed linens from Frette. Start your day right with a leisurely soak in the spacious bathtub, complete with bespoke bath amenities from Etro. For breakfast, think a lazy brunch in bed delivered by your butler, as you soak up the sea breeze and glorious views on your private balcony. And if you’re splashing out for the ultra-indulgent Palace Villas, your duplex suite will come equipped with your own dedicated butler, not to mention a private sundeck with a whirlpool spa, a sauna, and up to four flat-panel TVs. In other words, it’s everything you need for personalized pampering.

24-Hour Butler Concierge Service

If your ideal vacay is one where you don’t need to lift a finger, Dream Cruises has that all settled for you. For The Palace guests, a dedicated team of Dream Butlers cares for your needs round the clock. Butlers are groomed to the standards of sister brand Crystal Cruises – known as The World’s Most Awarded Luxury Cruise Line – so you can count on some top-notch hospitality. Fancy an in-suite cocktail, a priority spa booking, or simply need your suit pressed for the night? Your butler will arrange it without breaking a sweat.

Epicurean Indulgence

Even the most jaded foodie would be tempted by World Dream ‘s impressive clutch of dining concepts. The Palace guests have access to the exclusive Palace Restaurant , which dishes up a medley of international cuisines paired with a sprawling wine list. You can also tuck into set meal entitlements at the specialty restaurants aboard World Dream , from prime cuts at Prime Steakhouse by Australian celebrity chef Mark Best to teppanyaki at Umi Uma . Did we mention there’s a Happy Hour with complimentary tipples too?

Priority Access

Forget waiting around for the fun to start. As a Palace guest, you get VIP access to facilities throughout the whole ship. Whether you want to snag a prime pool slot during sunset hour, schedule some spa pampering for the afternoon, or secure a coveted table at a specialty restaurant, it’s a breeze with priority booking for Palace guests. Did we mention you get complimentary wifi throughout your cruise too?

Can’t wait to hop aboard already? Check out this video for a sneak peek of what’s in store:

All Aboard the World Dream

One thing’s for sure: you’ll never get bored on board. Beyond The Palace’s exclusive perks, the cruise ship is packed with more than enough things to do to keep you excited on your two- to three-night stay. These are just some of the highlights:

Sky-High Thrills

If you love the thrill of heights, imagine upping the stakes with high ropes over the tossing waves. World Dream offers high ropes adventure courses on board, including a zipline suspended a dizzying 18 decks above the water and a ‘walk the plank’ challenge while swaying precariously in the sea breeze. Otherwise, try your hand at scaling the rock climbing wall with scenic views to keep you company.

Waterslide Park

If air isn’t your element, how about water? Plunge in for a splashing good time in the ship’s Waterslide Park, so named for its six adrenaline-spiking slides. Start out laidback with looping slides, then work up to steep drops that’ll have you screaming the whole way down.

Immersive Entertainment

Besides fun in the sun, you’ll also find high-tech entertainment on board in the form of Esc EXPERIENCE LAB . This virtual-reality adventure lab comes equipped with state-of-the-art simulators, motion platforms, and curved screens to plunge you into fantastical worlds. Feel your stomach turning on the Finger Coaster rollercoaster, soar through space with the Icaros flying simulator, and pit your wits in challenges like the Minotaur Maze.

Themed Experiences

World Dream keeps things exciting with a rotating lineup of themed experiences, and this festive season, they’re taking us on A Nordic Christmas Adventure . From 19 November 2021 to 1 January 2022, you can wander through a charming slice of Scandinavia with a Nordic village glittering with thousands of twinkle lights, complete with a Christmas market dishing up festive pastries.

Head over to the Nordic Art Lab to get hands-on with quirky cultural traditions, build yourself a Swedish tomte – a mischievous, gnome-like creature in Nordic folklore – or create a magical piece of scratch art inspired by the Northern Lights. Come Christmas, feast Scandinavian-style with complimentary Finnish salmon soup, saffron buns, roast turkey, and more.

The Palace Suite on World Dream is priced from S$699 per pax. UOB Cardmembers can now enjoy S$200 per pax off Palace Suites bookings with the promo code UOB 2021 . Check out more of Dream Cruises’ itineraries here .

What’s New on Genting Dream — Resorts World Cruises Review

Find out what’s new and what’s back on board the new Resorts World Cruises’ Genting Dream!

After having a whale of a time on Dream Cruises’ cruise to nowhere , we were pretty bummed when it ceased operations in March 2022 . Thankfully, it has returned under a new name — Resorts World Cruises !

To find out what’s new and what’s back, we hopped on its inaugural cruise on 15 June 2022. So here’s a preview of what to expect on Genting Dream 🚢.

Click any of the links below to jump straight in .

Pre-boarding Essentials

Resort World Cruises Genting Dream - Singapore Cruise

Photo credit: Resorts World Cruise

Before you set sail, here are some pre-boarding essentials to take note of:

1) Mandatory online check-in — closes 24 hours before sailing 2) Take a supervised or tele-supervised ART test and present a negative result — earliest one day prior to sailing 3) Fill up a pre-boarding health questionnaire — on the day of sailing 4) Collect your cruise key card — on the day of sailing 5) Check-in via SafeEntry on the TraceTogether app or token — before boarding the ship

What’s New on Genting Dream

This may be the same ship under Dream Cruises but we’ve sussed out the new stuff.

1) Immersive Activities with Performers

People posing in Brazilian Carnival Dance - Genting Dream

This was one thing I really loved about the cruise. Especially when I spotted my on-board dance instructor on the big stage performance just a couple of hours later!

People Performing on Stage - Genting Dream

The entertainment organisers wanted to create an immersive experience for guests to “dive” into, so guests could interact with the performers even when they were off stage.

An afterparty was held at the dance floor of Zouk Beach Club so the fun doesn’t end when the performance does.

People Dancing at Zouk Night Club - Singapore Cruise

Unfortunately, my dance instructor recognised us so we couldn’t escape the awkward dancing 😅 but at least we still had a great time!

2) Foam Party at Sea

People Partying with Foam - Genting Dream

For those who just want to party (but with an extra kick), here’s a brand new activity: foam party at sea!

Equipped with a giant foam spraying machine, gigantic floats, and water guns, we had a blast blowing foam at each other for two hours and imagining it was snow in hot, humid Singapore.

Don’t worry about the aftermath too. There will be towels provided to help you dry off before you head on to your next activity.

3) World’s First Internationally Halal-certified Kitchen on a Cruise

Genting Dream is not the first cruise ship to serve halal food, but it’s the first with an internationally halal-certified kitchen.

This is based on OIC (Organisation of Islamic Cooperation) and SMIIC (The Standards and Metrology Institute for Islamic Countries) standards. The cruise also holds a vegetarian certification by Global Vegetarian Certification Services.

We even went behind the scenes and discovered that there are dedicated timings and lifts to deliver the food.

From the way the food is prepared and delivered, to the way utensils are washed after — everything is segregated so there is no chance of cross-contamination at all!

While this doesn’t really affect me personally, it helps give my Muslim friends peace of mind when dining on a cruise 🙂.

On-board Activities

Most of the facilities and activities are similar to the previous Dream Cruises, so here’s a recap of what you can expect on this one.

Rain or shine, these are some activities that you can do: arcade, bowling, karaoke, t-shirt or tote bag painting workshops, and workout classes. But prepare to fork out some cash for certain activities.

For example, bowling costs S$10 per game and it’s S$22 to buy a t-shirt to paint on — but at least you’ll get to keep it! We also recommend booking slots for the karaoke room early in advance because demand is really high.

People at Brazilian Carnival Dance Class - Singapore Cruise

If you’re looking to save a few bucks, try the free workout classes instead! Choose from yoga to a couple of dance classes like funk line dancing, hip hop dance, Brazilian carnival dance, and traditional flamenco dance.

We didn’t have time to try them all so we went for the Brazilian carnival dance where we learned different types of dances like the salsa and samba. It’s a one-hour class so expect a lot of hip-shaking, spinning, and sweating. Remember to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated!

People at Waterslide Park - Genting Dream

While we can’t splash around in the sea, we can definitely do so at the on-board waterslide park. There are six different slides to choose from — my personal favourite being the donut-shaped slide which opens up mid-way, allowing you a glimpse of the blue sky before diving back to darkness and into the water.

Besides the water slides, there are also pools and hot tubs for you to swim and “chill” in leisurely.

People on High Obstacle Course - Singapore Cruise

But if you don’t want to get wet, try the ziplines, rock climbing wall, high obstacle course, mini-golf, ping pong, or even giant chess.

You could even set up a friendly basketball match in the SportsPlex too.

Girl Playing Basketball at SportsPlex - Singapore Cruise

Or dance and party your hearts out to popular hits played by DJs all through the night at Zouk Beach Club.

Bonus — Visit the Captain’s Bridge

Controls at Captain's Bridge - Singapore Cruise

Before covid hit, there were organised tours to the captain’s bridge — a control room where the captain and his crew navigate the ship.

Girl Looking at Captain's Bridge from Viewing Room - Singapore Cruise

But due to social distancing restrictions, the tours stopped and we don’t have that luxury anymore. So we were actually glad to discover this hidden gem on board to find out what it’s like!

Girl Looking at Ship Replica in Captain's Bridge Viewing Room - Singapore Cruise

Head up to deck 15 via the lift (forward lobby) and walk past Crystal Life fitness. Turn left and walk all the way to the end. You’ll find a small, hidden room with a clear view of the captain’s bridge, plus a really cool mini replica of the ship to admire!

Entertainment

Couple Doing Balancing Act - Genting Dream

Every day, a newsletter would be delivered to your cabin — with various show and programme schedules so you can plan your day to catch them all!

*Note: The timings are in local (SG) time.

One highlight not to be missed is definitely the Yin.Yang performance at the Zodiac Theatre. It blends eastern and western entertainment, featuring a world-class array of performances from balancing acts to contemporary dances.

I was deeply impressed by one performer in particular, Tong Shaohan, who wowed us with his unique double vocals — singing both female and male parts in a duet.

We were truly shocked, yet in awe when we found out this beautifully dressed lady who sang in a high-pitched voice turned out to be an extremely talented man.

*Pro-tip: Arrive earlier as doors close 10 minutes before showtime and seats are on a first-come, first-served basis.

Dream Boys Performance - Singapore Cruise

Apart from the Yin.Yang show, we also had a sneak peek of Dream Boys (which isn’t new), but is set to make a comeback sometime in July.

Dining Experiences

On the Genting Dream, there are more than 20 dining options including restaurants, cafes and bars — not all are free though, so take note!

Inclusive Restaurants — Complimentary

The Lido Halal Food Buffet - Genting Dream

These are the places where you can eat your fill without any charges.

As mentioned above, Genting Dream has an internationally halal-certified kitchen. However, it’s only limited to food items in The Lido restaurant.

But don’t fret because there are still plenty of cuisines to choose from, such as Western, Chinese, and even Jain — for vegetarians with a strict diet of not consuming any food produced underground (including potatoes and carrots).

For other non-halal options, there’s also the Dream Dining Room Lower and Upper which serve Western and Chinese menus respectively.

*Note: Check the daily newsletter for restaurant breakfast, lunch, and dinner timings. You’ll also be charged an extra S$15 for a second meal during the same meal period.

Specialty Restaurants — Charges Apply

Chef Cooking Food at Umi Uma - Singapore Cruise

The food might be more pricey (from S$60), but speaking from experience, it’s really worth it! During our time on the cruise, we tried two specialty restaurants: Umi Uma (Japanese teppanyaki ) and Bistro (Western).

We ordered the Emperor (steak and seafood) and Samurai (chicken and salmon) set from Umi Uma where the chef cooked our dishes before us. The meat was cooked perfectly and not chewy at all! The salmon also had a flavourful, buttery taste 😋.

Umi Uma Meal with Steak and Fish - Genting Dream

At Bistro, we had a full four-course meal with a seafood salad appetiser, pumpkin soup, and a choice of seafood tower or braised beef cheeks, before ending it off with some sweet panna cotta!

Girl Eating Seafood and Beef - Singapore Cruise

Other dining places include Silk Road Chinese Restaurant, Hot Pot, Lido Outdoor Hotpot and Grill, and Crystal Life Cuisine.

*Pro-tip: Reserve in advance as restaurants can be fully booked during peak hours.

Cafes and Bars — Charges Apply

Besides restaurants, you can grab some light meals at cafes like Lobby Cafe and Blue Lagoon, or even cool down at Gelateria with some homemade gelato.

There are also various bars all around the cruise for alcohol-lovers — open all day till late. Check out Bar 360 for drinks and live music, Mixt for its innovative cocktails, or Tributes which has indoor and outdoor seating coupled with entertaining performances.

Accommodation

Genting Dream offers various room options, from balcony to oceanview staterooms and even palace suites.

Balcony Deluxe Stateroom

We stayed in a Balcony Deluxe Stateroom which consisted of a queen-sized bed, a large sofa, a bathroom, and of course, a balcony overlooking the sea. To be honest, I was really surprised by how spacious the room is.

Bathroom with Bath tub - Singapore Cruise

We were also lucky to find a bathtub in our bathroom (apparently, not every room has it) and the dual-tap sink was way bigger than the one in my home.

But the best part of the room would have to be the balcony — where we got a gorgeous view of the sunrise.

Cost: From ~S$550/pax for three nights

Palace Suite

We didn’t have time to tour the Palace Suite but this is what it’ll look like:

It looks pretty similar to the Balcony Deluxe Stateroom, but the private balcony is twice as big! Staying in a palace suite also gives guests certain perks like access to exclusive restaurants and programmes, as well as a 24-hour butler service 😏.

Cost: From ~S$1,100/pax for three nights

Is Resorts World Cruises’ Genting Dream Worth Checking Out?

Resorts World Cruises Main Deck - Genting Dream

It’s been a very long time since I’ve been on a cruise (I’m talking about 10 years ago-long), so I was really excited to just hop onto a ship once again!

I was glad that the water slides still remained and I could have fun like a kid again without any reserve. Being older now, I could also appreciate the fine dining experience of a full-course meal and of course, drinking alcohol 🍷.

Girl Eating Breakfast Buffet - Singapore Cruise

The halal-certified food also didn’t taste any different from usual and I stuffed myself with plenty of different options. The highlight of my cruise though was interacting with the performers when they weren’t on stage and discovering more about their culture.

Fun fact: Do you know why Brazilians dance so well? According to my Brazilian dance instructor, Gabrielle, most kids there start learning from 10 years old!

Girl on Balcony with Sea View - Genting Dream

With Resorts World Cruises as a new cruise line, we now have more options to set sail from Singapore’s ports. Although we didn’t dock anywhere this time, the automatic time change when we were near Indonesia made us feel like we were overseas.

Starting 1 July, the cruise will also sail internationally to Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand! You can make your reservations online with prices starting from ~S$149 per person (book by 3 July 2022) 🤩.

Genting Dream Review

Review of genting dream.

The 2016-built MS Genting Dream cruise ship was the first vessel in the fleet of the Chinese premium brand Dream Cruises (Genting Hong Kong/GHK-owned subsidiary company launched in November 2015). One of the world's largest passenger liners , the 151300-GT-ton vessel debuted in November 2016. Its former fleetmates were World Dream/Manara (2017/sistership), Resorts World One (1999-built as SuperStar Virgo, named Explorer Dream after the transfer from Star Cruises in 2019) and the larger Global Dream/Disney Adventure (2020/GLOBAL-class).

The vessel (IMO number 9733105) is currently Bahamas- flagged (MMSI 311000319) and registered in Nassau .

Since May 2022, Genting Dream operates for Resorts World Cruises ( new travel brand ) established by GHK's former owner Lim Kok Thai.

MS Genting Dream's last drydock refurbishment was in 2023 (February 17 through March 1), being previously refurbished in 202 (January). Both drydocking renovation projects were conducted in Singapore (at Sembcorp Marine Admiralty Yard).

History - construction and ownership

In late-April 2022, Asian online media reported that Genting Dream becomes the first liner in the fleet of "Resorts World Cruises" - a Singapore -registered company (incorporated on March 9, 2022) established by Lim Kok Thay (Genting Group/Genting Cruise Lines). Also was reported that Resorts World Cruises is in negotiations with banks and investors to acquire Dream Cruises' other two vessels (Explorer Dream, World Dream).

The company's management team is led by Colin Au (CEO and Executive Director) and Michael Goh (President and International Sales Directors). Resorts World Cruises opened bookings for Genting Dream on May 18, 2022.

The parent company "Resorts World" is a Genting Group-owned subsidiary (Malaysian hospitality and casino franchise) and brand used across all Genting-owned resorts and casinos worldwide. Resorts World has ultra-premium properties (46 total/as of 2022) in Asia (Malaysia's Pahang, Terengganu, Langkawi-Kedah, Singapore's Sentosa Island, Philippines' Newport City-Pasay, Entertainment City-Paranaque, Macau's Nam Vam Lake), also in the USA (Winchester Nevada, Queens NYC, Kiamesha Lake NY, Miami Florida), Bahamas (North Bimini) and Europe (Solihull-Birmingham, England UK).

On May 18, 2022, at a news conference, Resorts World Cruises officially announced that as a "gesture of goodwill" the new company will offer complimentary FCCs/future cruise credits of "equivalent value" to all customers affected by World Dream's cancellations ( cruises to nowhere from Singapore/bookings for voyages scheduled for departure between March 2 and August 31, 2022). The FCCs were valid for the period June 15, 2022, through March 31, 2023, and applicable only to affected World Dream bookings that had not yet received any refund from the original booking source.

According to Colin Au (Resorts World Cruises' CEO and Executive Director, also GHK's former Deputy CEO), as the provisional liquidator couldn't revive the brand (Dream Cruises), they had worked with the Chinese lessors (Genting Dream's shipowner) and had decided to restart operations under the new "Resorts World" brand.

GHK is a global entertainment, hospitality, and leisure company based in Hong Kong . For its new Dream Cruises brand, GHK ordered two custom-built vessels to serve the Asian market, specifically China. GHK's other two cruise market segments were served by separate brands - Crystal Cruises (ultra-luxury) and Star Cruises (contemporary).

On October 7, 2013, Star Cruises announced that GHK signed a shipbuilding agreement with Meyer Werft ( Papenburg Germany ) for the construction of a new vessel for Star Cruises, with scheduled delivery in 2016-Q4. On February 10, 2014, was ordered a sistership, with scheduled delivery in 2017-Q4. Both vessels were with gross tonnage 150,000 GT tons and double-occupancy passenger capacity 3364.

However, later GHK decided to create a new brand (Dream Cruises) and both newbuilds were transferred to the new company. MS Genting World's (later renamed "MS World Dream") steel-cutting ceremony was held on February 9, 2015, at Meyer Werft Papenburg shipyard. MS Genting Dream debuted in November 2016. The sistership World Dream was launched in November 2017. On August 20, 2016, Genting Dream was floated out of the covered building dock 2 at Meyer Werft Papenburg.

Decks and Cabins

MS Genting Dream staterooms (1686 total) accommodate between 3376-3400 passengers served by 2020 crew, meaning a crew-to-guest ratio of 1:1.7, which is the highest in comparison to any Asia Pacific ship. The German-built vessel is also designed with spacious interiors.

~70% of all staterooms are with private step-out balconies, and 100+ cabins are connecting (with adjoining interior doors) making them suitable for families. Suite services include special perks, privileges, professional European butler service.

The largest accommodations are the Dream Grand Villas (sized 224 m2 / 2410 ft2). Other Dream Suite categories Executive (56-80 m2 / 600-860 ft2) and Deluxe (43 m2 / 460 ft2).

The boat has 18 decks , of which 14 are passenger-accessible and 10 with cabins.

Note: Deck 15 is actually the ship's "Deck 14". This enumeration is due to the fact that for the Chinese, numbers that include 4 are considered unlucky - similar to the Western practice about the number 13, and the Italians' number 17.

Genting Dream Wiki

In January 2017, Dream Cruises announced the inaugural cruise itineraries of their first newbuild Genting Dream. The homeporting in Singapore (starting December 3, 2017) made it the first large-sized cruise ship based there for year-round operations. Genting Dream is the latest generation vessel (Germany-built) and is calling at more than 10 ports in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam during 2018.

The vessel (Meyer Neptun yard/hull number S712) has volume 150695 GT-tons, DWT-deadweight 15370 tons, mx width 44 m (with the bridge wings), max draught 8,6 m. The powerplant is based on MAN B&W marine diesel engines (model 14V48/60B) with combined output 62,4 MW (83680 hp).

Before Resorts World Cruises, the registered shipowner were three Genting Hong Kong Ltd-owned companies (Xiang CR18 HK International Ship Lease Co Ltd, Sea 172 Leasing Co Ltd, Compass Shipping 32 Co Ltd) while the registered operator was GENTING CRUISE LINES.

The vessel's physical construction/assembly officially started on December 4, 2015, with the keel-laying ceremony held at Meyer Werft GmbH's Neptun yard in Papenburg Germany . During the ceremony, a massive keel block (number 2 / one of the ship's all 92 building blocks) was lifted into the dock to officially start the assembly process. GHK's Chairman and CEO Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay laid the traditional "lucky coin" (a good fortune symbol) under the block to bless the new vessel.

The vessel was floated out from drydock on August 20, 2016. Its conveyance (northbound route to North Seas along Ems River) started on September 18, leaving the Papenburg shipyard at around 2 pm. It entered the North Sea waters on Sept 19, at around 6 pm. After the scheduled sea trials, the ship docked in Bremerhaven (at Columbus Cruise Center).

On November 14, 2016, was the christening ceremony held at Guangzhou (Port Nansha) . The ship's godmother is Mrs. Puan Sri Cecilia Lim - wife of Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay. He is Chairman and CEO of GHK (Genting Hong Kong) and second son of Genting Group's founder Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong. The naming ceremony was attended by over 900 distinguished guests, including numerous VIPs (prominent Chinese government officials, top executives from the cruise industry and shipping trade). Among the VIP guests were Cai Zhaolin (Guangzhou's Vice Mayor), Zeng Xiaofeng (Tourism Administration of Guangdong Province's Deputy Director), Chen Hongxian (Guangzhou Port's Chairman), Cai Jinlong (Guangzhou Port's General Manager). The welcome aboard event was held at the ship's Zodiac Theater (999-seat show lounge) led by Thatcher Brown (Dream Cruises' President). Next spoke Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay (GHK's Chairman and CEO). Followed the traditional for China exchange of gifts.

MS Genting Dream cruise ship construction

On October 12, 2016, the vessel was officially delivered to Dream Cruises by Meyer Werft in Bremerhaven. Ships' hull art (titled "Voyage of a Lover’s Dream”) is by the Chinese artist Jacky Tsai.

Wartsila Funa was the supplier of the ship's unique external "Dynamic Exterior Lighting" system. The order was placed in 2016-Q1. The innovative lighting system provides stunning visual effects (color, movement, and video) to the vessel's exterior. The technology is based on custom-designed and individually controlled LED RGBW lighting units. Wartsila Funa specializes in audio, video and lighting control design for large land-based public facilities (including theme parks, attractions, museums) and for cruise ships.

Ship's first Captain (Master) was Jukka Silvennoinen.

In late-September 2019, GHK (shipowner) sold Genting Dream (via sale-and-leaseback deal) to a consortium of three Chinese banks. The liner was sold for USD 900 million (~EUR 805 million) or 80% of its current market value (EUR 1,055 billion / USD 1,18 billion). According to a previous filing, as of June 30, 2019, the vessel's unaudited net asset value was ~USD 862,5 million (~EUR 777,3 M). The deal was finalized on January 15, 2020. The liner was immediately bareboat chartered (leased back to GHK) for 12 years, which means it will be purchased back by GHK in 2031.

The vessel's sale and leaseback transaction was with a 4-party consortium of Chinese financial companies - Bocomm Leasing (Bank of Communications Financial Leasing Co Ltd, 2007-founded), CMB Financial Leasing Co Ltd (part of China Merchants Bank), CCB Financial Leasing Corporation Ltd (part of China Construction Bank) and CDB Leasing (China Development Bank Financial Leasing Co Ltd). GHK's Financial advisor was DNB Markets (2003-founded, part of DNB Bank ASA / fka DnB NOR Bank).

Genting Dream refurbishments review

In January 2020, the ship was drydocked for 3 days at Sembcorp Marine Shipyard ( Singapore ) for general maintenance works and technical updates. During the drydock was installed a new dual water hybrid scrubber (exhaust gas cleaning system, supplied by Valmet) and 2 new overboard discharge valves (for the Valmet scrubbers). Maintenance works also included hull cleaning, swimming pools modifications (for reducing the vessel's draft/draught) and equipment tests - conducted by specialists from the companies Wartsila (engines), ABB (propulsion system) and DNV GL (classification society). Refurbishment works / new flooring received the World Buffet (Lido restaurant).

Genting Dream was last drydock refurbished in 2023 (February 17 - March 1) at Singapore's Sembcorp Shipyard. The drydocking was mainly for regular maintenance (technical and class works).

Note: The current fleet of Star Cruises ships is operated by Resorts World One under the name Genting Dream Cruises.

The Covid-19 outbreak destroyed the cruise ship company Genting Hong Kong (formerly known as Star Cruises), and Malaysian billionaire Lim Kok Thay is closing the cruise line and starting a new one from Singapore.
1,856 people may be accommodated on the 75,338 gross ton cruise ship Resorts World One. The ship was previously used as SuperStar Virgo for Star Cruises and as Explorer Dream for Dream Cruises.
Resorts World Cruises has revealed that it has purchased the Explorer Dream, a former Dream Cruises ship. After being renamed as Resorts World One, the ship will begin two-week cruises from Singapore and then, on March 10, 2023, two- and three-night cruises from Hong Kong.
Genting Dream is the first ship constructed under Dream Cruises, a luxury cruise line operated by Genting Hong Kong. Dream Cruises was introduced in November 2015, making it the first brand in Asia to provide premium cruise services. Based in Hong Kong, Genting Hong Kong is a multinational leisure, entertainment, and hospitality corporation.
According to Michael Goh, the president and head of international sales at Resorts World Cruises, who was quoted by Bloomberg during a media event, the company will initially operate just one ship, Genting Dream, offering cruise to nowhere services from Singapore. Goh served as president of Dream Cruises before it was one of the firms that went bankrupt due to the insolvency of its German shipbuilding arm, MV Werften, and parent company Genting Hong Kong's inability to acquire finance.

Genting Dream Cruise Palace Restaurant Review

Genting dream palace restaurant.

The Palace is an exclusive enclave for Genting Dream passengers in Palace Suites and above located on the top forward part of the ship on Decks 17 and 18. While Palace guests get to enjoy specialty restaurants around the ship as part of the deal, there is also an exclusive Palace Restaurant within The Palace which serves Palace guests only. On this Surabaya and North Bali cruise, I had the privilege to sample a dinner up at the Palace Restaurant on my last cruising night.

Heading into the Palace on Deck 17.

Palace Restaurant

Waiting to be seated at the Palace Restaurant.

As the crowds were filling up the Palace Restaurant, the Palace Lounge doubles up as the dining area as well.

A menu was provided for me to select my mains. Appetisers and desserts are on the buffet line.

A selection of 3 Western and 3 Chinese main courses are available for dinner. Similar to the Dream Dining Rooms , you are allowed to order more than 1 main course. In fact, it’s probably designed to be as such as the portions are not too big.

The buffet line starts with a cheese board with crackers on the side.

Salads and prawns follows next. Definitely a step up from Dream Dining Room Lower .

Next is the DIY salad station.

At the chef’s station, there was a Beijing Shredded Pork Roll served in a folded steamed bun.

2 soups were offered, 1 Chinese style and 1 Western style.

Dessert was at the end of the buffet line.

A carving station was also set up for a Slow Cooked Wagyu Rump and vegetables.

Ordering from the secret Palace drinks menu, I got an iced Milo.

Cream of Vegetables

I started off with a Cream of Vegetables soup from the buffet line.

My selection of a DIY Caesar Salad, some cheese, and a slice of Wagyu Rump from the carving station.

Roasted Duck Breast

For my western main, I ordered the Roasted Duck Breast. The Roasted Duck Breast was finished perfectly well which was juicy and soft. The portion was also not too big so I get to enjoy the rest of the food on offer on the buffet as well.

For my Chinese main, I ordered the Braised Baby Abalone with Sea Treasure and Egg Fried Rice. Up in the Palace, it’s not uncommon to see premium food being featured on the regular menu, and in this dinner, there’s wagyu and abalone. The kitchen would also be ready to serve just pieces of abalone if you request for it.

As I had a bit of space, I ordered a third main to try out, the Scallop and Tiger Prawn Pasta. This was done Aglio Olio with added chilli. This pasta portion was big as compared with the previous 2 mains I had ordered. The Tiger Prawns were definitely the star here as they were nicely grilled and juicy, presented whole, with the shell peeled off from the body, and was very easy to bite off leaving the head and tail behind.

The freshly fried Salted Egg Fish Skin got refilled after my mains, so I picked out a small sample to try. Nice and crispy.

Some cake for dessert after my 3 mains.

Dong Zhi Festival Tang Yuan

As my dinner was on Dong Zhi Festival (Winter Solstice / 冬至) on 22 December 2022, Tang Yuan (汤圆) was served as a hot dessert, along with red bean soup. This was arguably the most popular dish of the night as everyone wanted to have at least 1 Tang Yuan to have as “意思” (as a small token).

My serving of Tang Yuan in red bean soup as a must-eat for that night. The Tang Yuan had sesame filling which happens to be my favourite, and it was definitely a nice touch that Resorts World Cruises did to cater to the Singaporean and Malaysian Chinese crowd who would be looking for this to have on the actual Dong Zhi Festival day.

Ice cream was also offered after my meal, but I was too full to have more dessert, so here’s a picture from my Palace BBQ Dinner .

The Palace Restaurant is an exclusive restaurant for Palace guests only, and is the main restaurant for Palace guests to dine at when there’s no specialty restaurants booked. The service here at the Palace Restaurant is very personalised with wait staff and manager making the effort to remember who you are, and with Butlers coming to check on you during your meal to ensure that your cruise is doing well, and to iron out any issues or make any further bookings. The ingredients and food here are also more premium as compared to the regular inclusive restaurants , and are comparable to specialty restaurants like Bistro and Silk Road . If you are a Palace guest, don’t rush to book every single meal at specialty restaurants. Remember to try out the Palace Restaurant as well.
