On his appointment, Mr. Michael Goh says: “When I look back over the past 20 years developing the cruise business with Genting HK, I am proud of our collective team efforts and the challenges we have overcome along the way.

Of the present Dream Cruises fleet, two “Dream Class” ships have homeports in Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Singapore, with some additional deployment to Taiwan. The third ship, Explorer Dream is currently on her summer seasonal deployment in Shanghai, Dalian and Tianjin. During the winter, Explorer Dream will embark on her maiden voyage outside of Asia with deployment to Australia and New Zealand.

Two Global Class ships of 204,000 gross tons each are currently being built at MV Werften, renowned for its quality German engineering and construction, and have been designed with cutting edge technology for a uniquely immersive and “better-than-world-class” digital experience for Asian cruise guests, who are leading the trend in digital adoption. The official launch of the Global Class ships will be made during IBTM China, the leading event for the MICE industry in China, on August 28 and 29 this year in Beijing and ITB Asia, the largest tourism trade show in Asia, on October 16 to 18 this year in Singapore.
