We’re no strangers to hopping on a flight to Bali. After all, it’s one of the most visited destinations among Singaporeans. But if you’re looking to shake things up for your next trip, how about sailing there instead?
Dream Cruises is launching a one-time-only, 5D4N cruise from Singapore to Bali. It’s a rare route onboard the Genting Dream that’ll have you enjoying sea views instead of cramped cabins. If you’re ready to live your best holiday-at-sea life, here’s what you need to know.
The cruise sets sail from Singapore on 30th November 2025, with 2 exciting stops in Bali that show off different sides of Bali.
First up: Denpasar, the beating heart of South Bali. This is the Bali you’re probably familiar with – think lively streets, vibrant markets, and spiritual landmarks like Pura Agung Jagatnatha. Culture buffs can make a beeline for Bali Museum, while shoppers can lose themselves in Pasar Kreneng, one of the island’s largest traditional markets.
And if you’re travelling with kids, squeeze in a visit to Waterbom Bali or Trans Studio Theme Park.

The cruise then heads north to Celukan Bawang, a quieter port nestled along Bali’s northern coastline. With fewer tourists and super chio nature, it’s perfect for those seeking a breather. Expect crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life, coral reefs waiting to be explored, and nearby traditional villages that offer a peek into Bali’s cultural roots.
With 2 full days at sea, there’s plenty of time to explore everything the Genting Dream cruise ship has to offer. And trust us, it’s not just about lazing on a deck chair.
Food-wise, you’ll be spoilt for choice with a wide range of restaurants and cafes onboard, including certified Halal and vegetarian-friendly options. In between meals, catch live performances and stage shows, or treat yourself to a massage at the spa if you’re in need of a proper reset.
Those looking for a bit more action can check out the 6 waterslides, multiple pools and jacuzzis, or take on the rock climbing wall, zipline, and rope course. These are perfect for both kids and adrenaline-chasing adults.
If Bali is calling your name, here’s a chance to make the journey part of the experience. Dream Cruises’ one-off cruise from Singapore to Bali offers a scenic way to reach the Island of the Gods.
This cruise is one to bookmark for your year-end holiday plans. Bookings open on 21st August 2025 on the Star Dream Cruises website. And when you’re there, we’ve got you covered with plenty of ideas – from beach hopping to temple tours – in our curated guide of things to do in Bali.
