Dream Cruises is a cruise line owned by the Malaysian company StarDream Cruises.
It was previously owned by Genting Hong Kong. Genting announced the introduction of Dream Cruises in November 2015 in Guangzhou as an Asian luxury cruise line. It debuted in November 2016.[1] In October 2022, a court in Bermuda ordered the liquidation of Genting Hong Kong and Dream Cruises.[2][3][4] Lim Kok Thay bought back the trademark of Genting Hong Kong brands.[5]
On 26 February 2025, Lim Kok Thay Resorts World Cruises announced that the brand would split its operations, reforming Dream Cruises and Star Cruises as StarCruises. With the new reform, Genting Dream became the first ship of the reformed Dream Cruises.
