| World Dream sold

WORLD Dream, the 5,000-passenger ship built in 2017 for Genting Hong Kong’s now-defunct Dream Cruises, has been sold to an unnamed buyer, identified in multiple sources as Cruise Saudi.

The ship was up for auction by authorities in Singapore after it was arrested in Mar 2022 over unpaid debts, with bids due by late Dec.

The Singapore Sheriff’s Office has confirmed the sale but without providing details of the buyer or the price.

Sister ship Genting Dream is now sailing for the new Resorts World Cruises business started by interests formerly associated with Genting Hong Kong, while Resorts World Cruises is also chartering Explorer Dream which will commence sailing from Hong Kong and Taiwan shortly.
