DREAM Cruises has continued to celebrate the firsts of its second ship, with World Dream arriving in her new year-round homeport of Guangzhou.
The 150,000-tonne vessel began her homeport deployment from Guangzhou, departing on an inaugural six-night cruise to Manila and Boracay, Philippines.
During a ceremony to mark the occasion, Genting Cruise Lines president Kent Zhu presented a scale model of World Dream to Guangzhou Port Group chief engineer Shi Tingfeng, to commemorate both parties’ contribution to develop cruising infrastructure in Nansha.
Gala dinners were then held on board for guests at Silk Road and Seafood Grill restaurants.
“The presence of World Dream in Guangzhou attests to the company’s continuous dedication to grow the Southern China region into a vibrant and important cruising market by offering new and innovative cruise products,” Zhu said.
“In response to the government’s pledge to develop the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, World Dream will promote the synergy and integration of the cruise economy in the region with her dual-homeports in Guangzhou (Nansha) and Hong Kong.”
Dream was handed over in Germany on 26 Oct, and then christened in Hong Kong.
