Genting Cruise Lines continues to add to its long list of accolades and honours from the most respected and prestigious tourism, media and industry authorities from around the world.
On Wednesday, 8 December, Dream Cruises, part of the Genting Cruise Lines family, was recognized at the Travel Weekly Asia 2021 Readers’ Choice Awards Ceremony held at the PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, Singapore to honour the fortitude of individuals and organisations who continue to pave the way for the travel industry’s recovery. This year, Dream Cruises was voted as the winner of the Best Cruise Line – Asia Pacific and Best Cruise Line – Sales and Services.
“Dream Cruises is proud to be recognized again by the readers of Travel Weekly Asia, especially as the publication is the leading resource for travel trade industry professionals, as the Best Cruise Line – Asia Pacific and Best Cruise Line – Sales and Services,” said Mr. Michael Goh, President, Dream Cruises. “It is gratifying to receive this wonderful feedback from our industry peers and we are equally thrilled to have gained the trust of our guests who have enthusiastically welcomed us back in the region.”
As the first cruise company to restart operations in Asia in July 2021, Dream Cruises has welcomed over 385,000 guests on board its three ships for worry-free Super Seacations in Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong.
During these cruises, guests have been able to enjoy a variety of onboard activities and enrichment programs to enhance their sailing experience including Markets of the World, where Dream Cruises brought the world onto the ship with international experiences and culinary delights from across the globe such as Spain, Germany, Western Australia, France, Japan and Korea to celebrate important events like Oktoberfest at Sea, Mid-Autumn Festival and even A Nordic Christmas Adventure.
A signature hallmark of the Dream Cruises fleet, The Palace is the “all-inclusive, all-suite” luxury concept featuring the charm of a boutique hotel with the exclusivity of a private clubhouse. Providing even more indulgence, guests can pamper themselves in an unprecedented level of service and comfort, through its space ratio of over 80 gross tons per guest, all-suite accommodations and European-style butler service. With its lavish dining experiences, rich collection of enrichment activities, and all-inclusive privileges, The Palace elevates the luxury cruising experience into an art form.
Due in part to the success of Dream Cruises’ resumption, Genting Cruise Lines also received the Special Achievement Award at the Asian Cruise Leaders Network (ACLN) Asia Cruise Awards during their ACLN Day on Friday, 26 November from Jeju, South Korea. Based on recommendations from ACLN members and selection committee members, the Special Achievement Award recognizes the contribution and achievements of the awardee towards the cruise industry.
“On behalf of Genting Cruise Lines, I am honoured to accept the ACLN Special Achievement Award this year and I would like to thank the members of ACLN and the selection committee members for bestowing us with this very special distinction,” said Mr. Kent Zhu, President, Genting Cruise Lines. “In Asia, we are proud to have been the first international cruise company to resume operations since the pandemic with Dream Cruises through our careful planning and coordination with various ports and destinations in the region. We greatly appreciate that our efforts have been recognized by the ACLN and Genting Cruise Lines is looking forward to continuing to help with the rehabilitation of the cruise industry in the future.”
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, Genting Cruise Lines has been leading the way to a new norm of cruise safety and peace of mind with its pioneering efforts in establishing enhanced preventive measures, setting new standards for its ships and for the cruise industry. Genting Cruise Lines’ protocols and procedures have been endorsed by third party organizations including global healthcare and classification body, DNV, and the Singapore Tourism Board and flagship brand Dream Cruises also stands out with an entire fleet of ships built to exacting Nordic safety standards with German manufacturing 4.0.
Further reassurance is provided by the company’s “Cruise As You Wish” policy with flexible re-booking and cancellation options for convenient and worry-free planning during these uncertain times.
