Let’s Reconnect on Genting Dream
An Exclusive Conversation with Naresh Rawal
Senior Vice President – Sales & Marketing, StarDream Cruises
Sanjay Pahwa, Editor-in-Chief The Voice of Chandigarh
In a world that often moves too fast, StarDream Cruises invites us to slow down and rediscover the joy of genuine connection. As The Voice of Chandigarh sits down with Naresh Rawal, Senior Vice President – Sales & Marketing, he shares the heart behind the thoughtfully curated experience, “Let’s Reconnect on Genting Dream.” This initiative isn’t about introducing something entirely new, but about rekindling familiar bonds with the sea, with fellow travellers, and with the simple pleasure of being present in every moment aboard the magnificent Genting Dream.
Q: Mr. Rawal, what does “Let’s Reconnect” really mean?
“Let’s Reconnect” is more than a theme — it’s a sentiment. Over the last few years, we’ve all been rushing ahead, ticking boxes, and somewhere along the way, we forgot to pause and truly connect — with people, with experiences, and even with ourselves. This event is our way of slowing things down and rekindling that sense of genuine connection.
Q: What’s the purpose behind organising this special ‘Let’s Reconnect’ event?
The purpose is simple — to bring together our valued travel partners, guests, and media friends in a relaxed, immersive setting. Genting Dream has always been about discovery, but this time we’re not unveiling a new destination; we’re inviting you to rediscover the essence of cruising — warmth, togetherness, and shared moments. Over 3 nights and 4 days, we want our guests to experience the ship beyond her grandeur, to feel the heartbeat of her hospitality, the attention to detail, and the emotion behind every gesture.
Q: Tell us about the new introductions and offerings onboard.
We’ve refreshed our experiences to make every sailing more personal and meaningful. Expect curated dining concepts that celebrate both Asian and international flavours, new entertainment acts that engage all senses, and wellness experiences designed for genuine relaxation. Our focus is on intuitive service, the kind that feels effortless yet unforgettable.
Q: A final message for your guests and partners?
This isn’t just another cruise -it’s an invitation to reconnect. With each other, with the sea, and with that sense of wonder that travel brings. We can’t wait to welcome you onboard Genting Dream and create memories that go far beyond the itinerary.
As our conversation drew to a close, it was clear that Let’s Reconnect is more than a campaign — it’s a heartfelt reminder of why we travel in the first place. Onboard the Genting Dream, it’s not just about the destinations or the luxury; it’s about the quiet moments in between — the laughter, the conversations, and the sense of belonging that only the open sea can bring. And as Naresh Rawal put it so simply, it’s an invitation to pause, to feel, and to reconnect — with the world, and with ourselves.
