Dream Cruises’ World Dream sails maiden voyage from Shenzen homeport

World Dream, Dream Cruises’ German-built, premium mega-ship, departs from the Shekou Cruise Homeport in Shenzhen on 18 September embarking on a journey to the scenic destinations in Vietnam.

Over the next two months, World Dream will set sail on multiple cruises from Shenzhen, including 2-night, weekend escapes with departures on 21 September and 23 November, offering guests all the comforts of home at sea but away from the hustle and bustle of the city, as well as a five-night cruise departing on 18 November to Danang and Halong Bay to explore the many splendours of Vietnam.

Thatcher Brown, president of Dream Cruises, said: “With the introduction of Shenzhen as a homeport, Dream Cruises has strategically extended its deployment to three major cities within the Greater Pearl River Delta Bay Area.

“Going forward, we will continue to explore more opportunities for inter-city collaborations involving drive, rail and fly-cruise to propel the development of the South China cruise market to the next level. On behalf of our officers, crew and colleagues, we are pleased to celebrate the inaugural call of World Dream to Shenzhen. As Asia’s Global Cruise Line, we are committed to delivering inspirational vacations at sea, offering value, quality and unique destination experiences to our partners and guests from Shenzhen.”

World Dream provides guests with the service that Dream Cruises has become known for. The cruise ship features Asian and international cuisines, entertainment and inspirational experiences, and exceptional service that redefine the journey at sea.

70% of the cruise ship’s staterooms come with private balconies and a selection of connecting rooms, ideal for extended families and groups. World Cruise also features The Palace with 154 suites and private VIP facilities including its own swimming pool, spa, gym, and dining venues. Aboard the World Dream are 35 restaurants and bar concepts.

For the young and the young at heart, World Dream has developed ESC Experience Lab, the largest virtual reality game zone and eSports arena at sea equipped with stunning simulators and interactive games that will immerse guests in adventures set in fantastic new realms.
