Genting Dream is a cruise ship managed by Resorts World Cruises. The vessel spans 335.33 meters in length and 39.7 meters in beam, with a gross tonnage of 151,300 and can achieve speeds exceeding 23 knots.
The ship was completed on 12 October 2016 and marked the first vessel launched under the Dream Cruises brand. It set sail from Papenburg, Germany, the next day. Originally commissioned by Star Cruises, the ship was reassigned to Dream Cruises while still under construction. After the parent company of Dream Cruises, Genting Hong Kong, underwent liquidation, the ship was leased to Resorts World Cruises.
History
The order for Genting Dream was placed in October 2013 by Star Cruises. Construction commenced on 9 February 2015, with the keel being laid a few months later. In November 2015, ownership shifted to the affiliated brand Dream Cruises, and the ship was officially named Genting Dream. It was launched from dry dock on 19 August 2016.
In November 2016, the vessel was officially named in a ceremony held in Guangzhou, officiated by Puan Sri Cecilia Lim, spouse of Genting CEO Lim Kok Thay. Following the financial collapse of Dream Cruises, Genting Dream was handed over to Resorts World Cruises but kept its original name.
On 25 February 2025, Resorts World Cruises revealed a corporate restructuring that merged Dream Cruises and Star Cruises into a new entity called StarCruises. As part of this reorganization, Genting Dream became the flagship vessel of the revived Dream Cruises.
Areas of operation
After completing a repositioning voyage from Papenburg to Guangzhou in 2016, Genting Dream has primarily operated cruises throughout various Asian ports.
