Dream Cruises, the first-ever Asian luxury cruise line, celebrated the arrival of its inaugural ship, Genting Dream Cruise to the Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore (MBCCS) on 4 November 2016, in the presence of more than 900 guests including government dignitaries, business and trade partners and media.
Notable attendees included Guest of Honour Mr S Iswaran, Minister for Trade and Industry (Industry); Mr Lionel Yeo, Chief Executive, Singapore Tourism Board; Captain Charles Alexandar De Souza, Deputy Port Master, Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore; and Mr Nam Liang Chia, Domain Commander (SEA), Integrated Checkpoints Command, Immigration and Checkpoints Authority of Singapore.A brilliant performance by Dream Cruises’ thrilling signature production show inspired by the hull art of Genting Dream, conceived by pop-art artist Jacky Tsai, entitled “Voyage of a Lover’s Dream” – a tale of love, hope and the overcoming of seemingly impossible boundaries between a mermaid and an astronaut at the ship’s extravagant 999-seat Zodiac Theatre.
After this breathtaking performance, we got to explore the ship’s array of amazing facilities and amenities, including the Balcony Stateroom, Zouk Beach Club, Waterslide Park, Crystal Life Fitness and Spa, ”Bistro” by Mark Best, JOHNNIE WALKER HOUSE and Little Pandas Club.
