“On behalf of Dream Cruise, I would like to congratulate our 1-millionth guest on Dream Cruises, Ms Mimi Lo. It is fortuitous that this important milestone is taking place during Genting Hong Kong’s 25th Anniversary,” said Mr Thatcher Brown, President of Dream Cruises. “As this is her second time on board our ship, I would like to personally thank Ms Lo for her continued support of Dream Cruises and hope to see her on another cruise very soon.”
 
“Thank you Dream Cruises for this wonderful surprise,” said Ms Mimi Lo. “Dream Cruises provides my family with an ideal vacation option that not only appeals to me but also offers a choice of activities for my children and my parents as well. We have also been impressed with the facilities in The Palace and appreciate the great service from our butlers and all the crew members on board.”
 
Ms Lo embarked on her World Dream voyage on Sunday, 14 October for a 6-day/5-night journey to Naha and Miyakojima in Okinawa, Japan, with three generations of her family. On board World Dream, Ms Lo and her family were surprised with special gifts including signed prints by artist Jacky Tsai, who also created the ship’s distinctive hull art, a private tour of the bridge, exclusive photo shoot and champagne and other treats. 

Making her debut in November of 2017, World Dream represented a major milestone in Hong Kong's rise as a cruise ship hub as the first mega-cruise ship to be christened in the city and, along with sister ship, Genting Dream, previously, the biggest cruise ship to call this city her year-round home.
 
“I am extremely proud of how quickly Dream Cruises has grown since its launch just under two years ago,” added Mr Brown. “It is truly a testament to our remarkable crew and reflects the support we have received from government bodies, our business partners, the media and the public that we have reached our 1-millionth passenger in such a short period.”
 
The award-winning Dream Cruises’ fleet offers some of the finest, best quality, German built ships in the world with World Dream and Genting Dream delivering premium cruise products for the local as well as the Fly-Cruise markets. From her dual homeports in Guangzhou (Nansha) and Hong Kong, World Dream sets sail to the beautiful Okinawa Islands, picturesque Danang and Halong Bay in Vietnam and tropical Subic Bay and Manila in the Philippines. World Dream also offers 2 Night weekend cruises for guests who wish to take a quick break and relax with their family or friends. From Singapore, Genting Dream delights guests with a series of enticing 2-Night, 3-Night and 5 Night cruise itineraries visiting Penang, Phuket, Langkawi, Kuala Lumpur (Port Klang), Surabaya, North Bali and Macleod Island. Further expanding the Dream Cruises fleet, the highly anticipated Explorer Dream will make her debut next year followed by new Global class ships that will be delivered in Q1of 2021.
