Resorts World Cruises' ship Genting Dream made her maiden call at Thailand's Phuket Deep Sea Port on Wednesday, July 24th, becoming Phuket's largest cruise ship (volume 151,000 GT-tons) so far.

Resorts World Cruises leverages extensive expertise to enhance passenger experiences. Genting Dream's passengers on the 3-night Phuket Cruise from Singapore can now enjoy the convenience of disembarking and re-embarking directly at Phuket without the need for tender boats. This development allows passengers to maximize their stay in Phuket without worrying about tender boat schedules. The availability of a cruise terminal at the Phuket Deep Sea Port also opens new opportunities for Resorts World Cruises and Phuket, potentially serving as a cruise and clearance gateway for outbound passengers in the future, thus boosting local and regional cruise tourism.

To commemorate this milestone, a special event was held onboard the Genting Dream, attended by Resorts World Cruises management, including Captain Havard Ramsoy, Senior Vice President of Fleet Operations; Mr. Jerry Leong, Senior Vice President of Business Development and Ports; Captain Jukka Silvennoinen; and Captain Robert Bodin. They welcomed the Deputy Governor of Phuket, Adul Chuthong, and local authorities for a memento presentation.

Phuket enthusiasts can board the Genting Dream from Singapore on alternate Tuesdays for the 3-night voyage, enjoying the island's attractions and vibrant nightlife. Additionally, Genting Dream offers various itineraries leaving rountrip from Singapore, including the 3-night Penang-Kuala Lumpur Cruise, the 2-night Kuala Lumpur Cruise, and the 2-night High Seas Weekend Getaway Cruise. Passengers can also embark from Kuala Lumpur (via Port Klang) for the 4-night Singapore Discovery Cruise and the 3-night Singapore-Penang Cruise.
