The Palace cruise experience

Holidays are something we all look forward to, even if it’s just crossing the Causeway. But if you’re getting sian of taking flights and roughing it out on road trips, it’s time to consider a cruise for a totally different experience.
And we’re not talking about just any ordinary cruise. Think sipping on luxury wine, zipping down 2-storey tall water slides and even your very own 24-hour dedicated butler service – that kind of cruise.
Let me introduce you to The Palace on Dream Cruises, a new luxury experience that will truly make your time on deck a sweet one.

As a guest of The Palace, you’re entitled to a fine dining experience at The Palace Restaurant. But for even more privacy, book yourself a meal in the private dining area, the Vintage Room, that will make you feel like you’re the only ones aboard.

True blue Singaporeans having the all-too-familiar cravings of hotpot will also be comforted to know that they can enjoy a spread of steamboat on the cruise – alfresco style. Your outdoor meal will treat you to the calming sea view while you savour your steaming hotpot.
Entertainment For Everyone – water slides and glow-in-the-dark bowling

Stop by the ESC Experience Lab* VR game room on World Dream as well for simulated experiences of being on a thrilling roller coaster ride or escaping an indoor maze.
*Prices for Glow Bowl and ESC Experience Lab are separate to the cruise fare.

With 6 long tubular water slides winding around the entire ship – it’ll essentially be as though the cruise has it’s very own water theme park. Those looking for a more challenging vertical workout can also unleash their inner Spiderman at the rock wall just nearby.
Indulge in a Whiskey and Wine Tasting session

Enjoy a shore excursion to destinations like Melaka and Bintan
Your luxury stay at The Palace also comes with a complimentary shore excursion. The priority access allows you first dibs on the planned stopover itineraries offered at your destination of choice to allow you some land time before heading back onboard your voyage.
