Resorts World Cruises has announced the highly anticipated return of StarCruises and Dream Cruises, two legendary brands that have shaped the Asian cruise industry for over three decades. With an unwavering commitment to excellence, this strategic brand revival is set to redefine cruising in the region, offering tailored experiences to diverse travellers.

Launched as Star Cruises in the 1990s, the brand became a pioneer in Asia, revolutionizing the cruise industry. After temporarily rebranding to Resorts World Cruises in 2022 to facilitate post-pandemic recovery, the company is reinstating these iconic names, ushering in a new era of innovation, elegance, and unmatched cruising experiences.

Fleet Rebranding: StarCruises and Dream Cruises Set Sail

The transition will take approximately three months, and a significant shift in branding and operations will be seen. As part of the transformation:

Resorts World One will be renamed Star Navigator, joining Star Voyager under the StarCruises umbrella.
Genting Dream will continue under the Dream Cruises brand, maintaining its reputation as the epitome of luxury at sea.

This strategic move not only restores these brands’ heritage but also enhances their offerings to cater to modern travellers seeking unique, world-class cruising experiences.

StarCruises: A Fresh Take on a Timeless Icon

The revamped StarCruises will focus on premium yet accessible cruising, offering a vibrant mix of entertainment, dining, and immersive experiences. Key features include:

Affordable yet premium lifestyle cruising that balances value with luxury.
World-class entertainment featuring themed performances and onboard attractions.
Intimate, mid-sized ships (2,000-passenger capacity) for a more exclusive experience.
Short, port-intensive itineraries catering to both domestic travellers and the growing Fly-Cruise market.

Upcoming StarCruises Itineraries:

Star Navigator will debut on March 7, 2025, offering four-night voyages from Singapore to Krabi and Penang. Starting March 28, it will transition to Taiwan for an exclusive eight-month deployment, with itineraries covering Japan and South Korea.
Star Voyager will set sail on March 26, 2025, with seasonal departures from Singapore, Jakarta, Melaka, Bangkok, and Ho Chi Minh City. More homeports are expected to be announced.

By reviving StarCruises, Resorts World Cruises aims to recapture the spirit of adventure and exploration that made the brand a household name among Asian cruise travellers.

Dream Cruises: Elevating Luxury to New Heights

For travellers seeking an indulgent, refined cruising experience, Dream Cruises will remain the pinnacle of high-end maritime hospitality. Featuring spacious ships with a capacity exceeding 3,000 passengers, Dream Cruises promises:

A sophisticated, upscale onboard ambience that caters to discerning travellers.
Exquisite gourmet dining, luxury spa treatments, and world-class entertainment.
Exclusive Fly-Cruise itineraries provide seamless connections to exotic destinations.
Unparalleled service and premium amenities that redefine modern cruising.

Genting Dream: A Year-Round Luxury Experience

The flagship vessel, Genting Dream, will continue to be homeported in Singapore all year round, offering spectacular itineraries to Malaysia and Thailand. This ensures travellers can seamlessly combine a cosmopolitan Singapore city stay with a luxurious cruise getaway across Southeast Asia.

A Vision for the Future of Asian Cruising

By differentiating StarCruises and Dream Cruises, Resorts World Cruises is taking a bold step toward segmenting the market, ensuring that both brands cater to distinct traveller preferences.

StarCruises appeals to travellers seeking vibrant yet accessible luxury and adventure-driven itineraries.
Dream Cruises is tailored for the sophisticated traveller looking for exclusivity, world-class service, and premium leisure experiences.

Resorts World Cruises has welcomed nearly 2 million passengers since 2022, setting the stage for a remarkable evolution in Asian cruising. With this revival, the company is reaffirming its dominance as a leader in the global cruise industry.
