KUALA LUMPUR – Port Klang will be joining Singapore as a home port for Resorts World Cruises’ Genting Dream cruise liner from July 18 onwards.
With its Singapore home port already in operation from June 15, travellers will have the option to embark from the island republic or Kuala Lumpur.
The dual home port idea was designed to cater for the demand of round-trip cruises, targeting the 10 million population residing here, Selangor, Negri Sembilan and Melaka.
The cruise company will also offer one-way cruises as an alternative to air and land travel for travellers between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, including to Penang.
With each trip, all crew and guests are required to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 to safeguard and provide peace of mind for all onboard.
In addition, guests will also have to undergo a self-paid pre-cruise Antigen rapid test one day before departure.
“Resorts World Cruises is excited to take the lead for the cruise sector to boost the in-and-outbound tourists for Singapore; and to bring cruising to the ‘doorsteps’ of Malaysians residing in central Peninsular Malaysia as they can depart from Kuala Lumpur, which is convenient and affordable,” said Michael Goh, president of Resorts World Cruises.
“As Genting Dream is certified as the World’s First OIC/SMIIC* standard halal-friendly cruise ship, this will appeal to a significant segment of Malaysian and international travellers across the region,” he said in a statement today. – The Vibes, July 8, 2022
