A New Era Begins with the Grand Return of StarCruises and Dream Cruises
  • Resorts World Cruises proudly reverts to the two iconic and legendary brands that shaped the Asian cruise industry for the past 30 years.
  • Cruise ship Resorts World One rename Star Navigator to join Star Voyager under StarCruises, and Genting Dream under Dream Cruises.

26 February 2025 (Singapore) – Resorts World Cruises is proud and excited to announce  the grand return of two of Asia’s most iconic and legendary cruise brands – StarCruises (a  refreshed take on the previous Star Cruises brand) and Dream Cruises. The Resorts World  Cruises brand was used temporarily to restart cruising in Asia post Covid, and will be reverting  to its original roots, which span over the last 30 years. The brand transition period will take  approximately 3 months with the renewed ambition to reinforce StarCruises and Dream  Cruises as pioneers of the Asian and global cruising industry. 

Launched in June 2022, Resorts World Cruises has successfully welcomed close to 2 million passengers to date, setting the foundation for this momentous transformation. Now, as part of  this historic revival, our fleet will transition under both iconic brands:- 

The Resorts World One cruise ship will be renamed Star Navigator, joining Star  Voyager under the StarCruises banner. 

Genting Dream will continue under the Dream Cruises brand.  

The transformation goes beyond a name change, as it is a declaration of excellence,  innovation, and commitment to redefining cruising in Asia with unique, refreshed cruising  experiences tailored to different markets.

StarCruises 

With a rich legacy of over 30 years, the original Star Cruises name will be revitalized as  StarCruises, bringing a modern, vibrant, and innovative approach that will deliver a lifestyle driven cruising experience to new generations across the region. The refreshed StarCruises brand represents:- 

Affordable yet premium lifestyle cruising. 

Vibrant onboard entertainment, world-class dining and themed experiences. Mid-sized ships (about 2,000-passengers) for a more intimate and accessible voyage. Short port intensive itineraries for domestic and Fly-Cruise passengers. 

Star Navigator will begin four 4-night sailings from Singapore on 7 March 2025 to Krabi and  Penang, before being deployed to Taiwan for an exclusive 8-month operational period starting  28 March. During this eight month, she will offer diverse itineraries that connect Taiwan’s  scenic coastlines with various destinations in Japan and South Korea, allowing guests to  experience cherry blossoms in spring, vibrant summer seascapes, and stunning autumn  foliage. Star Voyager will set sail on 26 March 2025, from multiple seasonal homeports in  Singapore, Jakarta, Melaka, Bangkok, and Ho Chi Minh, with more cities to be added.  

Dream Cruises 

Dream Cruises will introduce a new era of luxury cruising, tailored for travellers seeking world class service, premium amenities, and unparalleled elegance. Dream Cruises represents: 

A sophisticated and indulgent onboard experience. 

Spacious ships with over 3,000-passenger capacity. 

Vibrant onboard entertainment, world-class dining and themed experiences. Luxury Fly-Cruise itineraries for the modern explorer 

Genting Dream, the flagship of Dream Cruises, will be homeported in Singapore all year round,  offering itineraries to Malaysia and Thailand, perfect for travellers who seek a seamless  combination of a Singapore city stay and an opulent cruise escape to the region. 

By clearly differentiating StarCruises and Dream Cruises, the brands will cater to distinct  segments while reinforcing their leadership in the Asian cruise industry. This transition marks  an exciting step forward, reflecting the brands’ commitments to delivering exceptional world class cruise experiences that cater to a diverse range of travellers.
