Genting Dream Cruise Singapore: Everything You Need to Know

By: Int2Cruises Travel Expert

Genting Dream Cruise Singapore is unlike any other cruise. The flagship of StarDream Cruises offers fantastic Asian hospitality paired with world-class dining, luxurious accommodations, and thrilling onboard entertainment. From live shows and relaxing spa experiences to family-friendly activities and gourmet cuisine, every moment onboard is designed for comfort, excitement, and unforgettable memories at sea.

You can book a 1 to 5 night cruise from Singapore on Genting Dream, currently operated under the StarDream Cruises brand (formerly Dream Cruises and Resorts World Cruises), for an unforgettable holiday experience.

Overview of Genting Dream Cruise Singapore (An Interesting Backstory)

The Genting Dream Cruise Singapore was built in 2016 as the flagship of Dream Cruises, a luxury brand under the Genting Group, the same hospitality powerhouse behind Resorts World Sentosa in Singapore and Resorts World Genting in Malaysia. The 335-metre ship was purpose-built for Asian travellers, combining Chinese-inspired design with European shipbuilding precision in Germany.

When Dream Cruises ceased operations in 2022, the vessel was taken over by Resorts World Cruises, a Singapore-based line founded by former Genting executives. It continued sailing under that brand until early 2025, when Resorts World Cruises rebranded as StarDream Cruises, reviving both the Dream Cruises and StarCruises identities under one umbrella.

Today, Genting Dream sails as the flagship of the revived Dream Cruises brand within StarDream Cruises. If you have seen references to Resorts World Cruises, Star Cruise Singapore, or Genting Singapore Cruise, they refer to this same ship.

One-line clarity: The Genting Dream cruise ship has not changed, only the operator brand changed from Dream Cruises to Resorts World Cruises to StarDream Cruises.
