The year is slowly coming to an end, which can only mean one thing – it’s time to bust out those Mariah Carey Christmas tunes and start booking your year-end vacay tickets.
Instead of hopping on a plane, embark on a Genting Dream Christmas Bejeweled-themed cruise from now till 31st December 2024. All that sailing in the sea is sure to have you living out your Moana fantasies, plus you’ll spend wholesome quality time with the fam and get into the holiday spirit. What can I say except you’re welcome?
If you’re stressing about planning your itinerary beforehand, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with the deets. Here’s the low-down of what you can look forward to onboard this fun-filled adventure on the seas:
To get into the holiday spirit, we’re starting off strong with the Christmas Show which has major holly jolly vibes.
There’s nothing quite like a performance to get you and the kiddos ready for gift-giving. It’s the most wonderful time of the year, after all.
If you’re feeling artsy, you can attend the Bejeweled Art Christmas Workshops and make Christmas-themed pieces, like a 3D reindeer artwork or intricate Christmas wreaths.
To make this Christmas extra special, there are also workshops onboard for you to DIY one-of-a-kind ornaments or glitter masks to don at EOY parties.
At the Dazzling Dance Party, you can bust those moves you’ve been secretly practising and flaunt to your kiddos that you’ve still got it. Despite all their arguments otherwise. Those who have been on cruises will tell you that the parties are where you can let loose and meet new friends!
Fret not if setting sail on this getaway means you had less time to shop for Christmas gifts. There’s a Christmas Market onboard where you can pick up souvenirs and holiday presents for your loved ones. Plus points for the fact that you bought them in the middle of the ocean, which certainly makes them more exotic.
At the Dazzling Carolling Session, you’ll get to listen to all your fav Christmas bops performed by carollers’ enchanting voices. This will be the icing on the cake when it comes to getting you and your cruise companions into full Christmas mode.
Get ready to oooo and aaahhh as you make your way into the Christmas Wonderland. You’ll find their adorable life-sized Christmas mascot, Pin Pin, and pretty Christmas-themed backgrounds with moving elements that’ll make your IG Stories come to life.
When we think about Christmas, snow globes are high on the list of notable motifs. Head to the Christmas Globe photo booth to experience stepping into a larger-than-life snow globe. Your pics will be the epitome of wintertime wonderland.
Remember when you threatened to put your kiddos on Santa Claus’ naughty list? Well, now’s their chance to make amends, while taking cute pics at the Meet & Greet with Santa Claus. Feel free to yap away with your kid to our fav jolly Christmas icon – Santa Claus – about what a good kid they’ve been all year long.
Let’s be real, it’s not Christmas till you fill your tummies with mouth-watering savouries and sweet treats. That is taken up a notch when you head on the Genting Dream Christmas-themed cruise, as there’ll be an endless spread of festive goodies for you to tuck into every day.
As part of the Christmas Feast menu, there’ll be delectable meats like turkey, ham, and sausages to fill your tummy. Those with a sweet tooth will be delighted by the selection of Christmas cakes. After all that indulgence, you and the gang can simply retire to your rooms for a convenient post-meal nap before the next set of activities. What a life!
Now that you’re sold on all the fun you can get up to onboard the Genting Dream Christmas-themed cruise, here are the routes and stopover destinations available.
If a quick weekend getaway is all you have time for, the 2-night weekend cruise sets sail on Friday evening and will have you back on home soil by Sunday noon. With no stopovers, you’ll have plenty of time for merry-making on the high seas.
Alternatively, you can also opt for their 2-night Melaka cruise which includes a full-day stopover. Make sure to prep your Melaka itinerary to get the most out of one of the oldest cities in Malaysia, full of history and culture.
For a full-fledged vacay, choose from the 3-night SG to Penang and KL or SG to Phuket routes. It’ll allow you to take in the things to do, see, and eat at either 2 of Malaysia’s finest states, or a Thai beach paradise – it boils down to the vibe of your dream holiday! Check out our KL, Penang, and Phuket guides for ideas on how to spend your stopovers.
With tons of family-friendly activities and events, embarking on a cruise with Genting Dream sums up to the perfect getaway for you and the fam.
So, instead of the average travelling modes, take your loved ones on a Christmas-themed cruise and make memories that will last a lifetime. That’s what the festive season is all about, we reckon. That, and eating tons of good food, of course.
