Resorts World Cruises will be resuming cruises from Hong Kong with the Resorts World One from 10 March 2023, offering two- and three-night high-seas cruises, departing every Friday, Sunday and Wednesday of the week. Formerly the Explorer Dream, the 75,338 gross ton 13-storey high cruise ship features 928 rooms that accommodate over 1,856 guests.

Resorts World Cruises is extending a goodwill offer to guests impacted by Genting Dream’s cruise cancellation in Hong Kong from January to April 2022. Guests will get a complimentary cruise in the same cabin category, cruise itinerary and duration with an additional onboard credit of HKD350 per cabin on the Resorts World One sailings before 20 December 2023. Affected Genting Dream guests that had paid and yet to receive any refund from their original booking sources or credit card companies may email reservations.cn@rwcruises.com from 1 February 2023 onwards. 

 “We are pleased that Resorts World Cruises will have the first cruise ship to homeport in Hong Kong after the resumption of normal travel with the Mainland and overseas. We hope to support the growth of the Hong Kong tourism as we had done for both Singapore and Malaysia”

Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, Chairman of Resorts World Cruises

The Genting Dream resumed cruising in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur via Port Klang from June 2022. Demand for cruise passengers has been above pre-COVID-19 levels for the second half of last year.

Resorts World One is chartered by Resorts World Cruises. She will replace Genting Dream’s regular 2- and 3-night itineraries from 17 February to 1 March 2023 as Genting Dream goes into dry-dock for regular maintenance. Resorts World One will offer a special 5-night repositioning cruise from Singapore, calling at Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang, prior to arriving in Hong Kong on 8 March. Passengers can embark from Kuala Lumpur via Port Klang for this re-positing cruise on 2 March, making it a six-night cruise calling at Singapore, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang before arriving in Hong Kong on 8 March.

“It’s been an exciting journey so far and we are looking forward to starting our next chapter in 2023 with the introduction of the Resorts World One cruise ship. The ship will increase tourist arrivals and generate economic benefits to the hotels, transport, suppliers and other service sectors in Hong Kong. Resorts World One will berth at the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, contributing revenue to the government owned facility.”

Mr. Michael Goh, President of Resorts World Cruises.
