Dream Cruises’ World Dream will cease operation from 2 March 2022 after the company failed to secure sufficient funding to continue operating the ship, citing “challenging circumstances”.

In a statement released by Genting Hong Kong, they have clarified that the identification of ‘potential remediation plans and facilitating the restructuring of the group including Dream Cruises’, has provided sufficient emergency financing.  This has allowed for the completion of an additional 16 scheduled cruises after the appointment of the joint provisional liquidators earlier. 

The World Dream will cease operations on 2 March 2022 after disembarking guests on her current cruise in Singapore, as scheduled. There will be no ships operating in Dream Cruises brand after the current sailing concludes.

The appointed liquidators are now accessing the impact of the cessation of sailings, particularly its ability to meet refund claims for guests booked on sailings after 2 March 2022. Guests are advised to submit a refund claim together with their booking confirmation and payment records to the liquidators at ProjectGenting@alvarezandmarsal.com

The World Dream was the only ship operating in the brands’ fleet up to this moment. World Dream’s  sister ship, the Genting Dream, ceased operations in Hong Kong after the recent spike in coronavirus cases in the city. Their smaller fleetmate Explorer Dream backed out of Keelung after falling demand led to the cancellation of its domestic cruise season.
