Dream Cruises Suspends Genting Dream Operations Because of Coronavirus Concerns
by Daniel McCarthy /
Dream Cruises is voluntarily suspending the operations of its Genting Dream ship, which had been sailing out of Singapore, because of concerns over coronavirus.
The ship’s next sailing, scheduled for Feb. 23, will be cancelled and guests will be able rebook for a future sailing or get a full refund for the cruise.
“Dream Cruises has made the difficult decision to suspend it operations from Singapore as a measure to help curtail the spread of COVID-19 and as a result of the tightening travel restrictions that have been enacted by various countries,” said Mr. Michael Goh, President, Dream Cruises.
Dream has added precautionary health measures to sailings across its fleet, including health and temperature screenings for guests and crew and sanitization protocols, to ensure the safety of everyone onboard. According to Dream, there have been no reported coronavirus cases onboard any of its ships as of yet.
“We have been extremely grateful for the support we have received from our guests and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this suspension has caused. Dream Cruises is excited for the return of Genting Dream and to welcome more guests on board to sample our signature service that’s Asian at Heart, International in Spirit,” God said.
