Dream Cruises and Singapore Marina Bay Cruise Centre have welcomed 100,000th cruise passenger since the restart of the global shutdown of the cruise industry, safely piloting cruises in the city. The first cruise ship to restart voyages out of Singapore was World Dream setting sail for the first time on 6 November 2020. This is very important milestone for Singapore and for Dream Cruises, proving that guests can enjoy worry-free journey, with health and safety being the number one priority for all.
The lucky 100,000th cruise passenger is Mr. Amin Abdul Rahim and his family who were presented with a collection of prizes and goodies including an upgrade to The Palace suite accommodations for their upcoming voyage.
“My family and I were surprised and are extremely honoured to be the 100,000th cruise passenger as this is our first time on board World Dream. We had heard many good things about the cruise and we are especially looking forward to the Halal-certified cuisine which is so important to us. We are also excited about experiencing The Palace and we can't wait to share our experience with our family and friends,” said Mr. Rahim.
“Having pioneered the safe pilot cruises in Singapore, we are excited to be part of this important milestone to celebrate Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore’s 100,000th cruise passenger since the program started and who sailed on World Dream on 12 March 2021. We hope to continue to welcome more Singapore residents aboard World Dream throughout the year,” said Mr. Michael Goh, President of Dream Cruises.
