Resorts World Cruises has announced a transition to StarCruises and Dream Cruises, its former brands before Resorts World Cruises’ launch in 2022.
The brand transition period will take about three months and aims to reinforce StarCruises and Dream Cruises as pioneers of the Asian and global cruising industry.
As part of the rebrand, the Resorts World One cruise ship will be renamed Star Navigator, joining Star Voyager under the StarCruises banner, while Genting Dream will continue under the Dream Cruises brand.
StarCruises is a rebrand of the original Star Cruises brand that has a history of over 30 years. The refreshed brand aims to deliver affordable yet premium lifestyle cruising. It offers smaller voyages on mid-sized ships that hold about 2,000 passengers and will offer short port intensive itineraries for domestic and Fly-Cruise passengers.
The Star Navigator will begin four 4-night sailings from Singapore on March 7, 2025 to Krabi and Penang, before being deployed to Keelung, Taiwan to be homeported for an exclusive 8-month operational period starting March 28.
From Keelung, it will offer weekly roundtrip sailings to Japan and South Korea, with 13 unique itineraries that include three-, four-, and six-day cruises to Japan’s Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu regions, including Okinawa, as well as South Korea’s Jeju Island and Busan.
Star Voyager will set sail on March 26, 2025, from multiple seasonal homeports in Singapore, Jakarta, Melaka, Bangkok, and Ho Chi Minh, with more cities to be added.
On the other hand, Dream Cruises offers a more luxurious tier of cruising, sailing on larger ships with over 3,000 passenger capacity, and luxury Fly-Cruise itineraries.
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.
