Half a year after its launch, Resorts World Cruises marks another new
milestone with its maiden voyage to Surabaya on the Genting Dream,
bringing over 3,500 passengers from her dual homeports in Singapore and
Kuala Lumpur (Port Klang).
During
the ship’s visit to Surabaya, guests disembarking had the opportunity
to explore many of the city’s hidden gems, which include famous
landmarks such as the Four Faced Buddha monument with the biggest and
tallest Four Faces Deity statue in Indonesia; views of Putuk Truno
Waterfall or Mount Penanggugan in Tretes; and shopping at Pasar Genteng
and Tunjungan Plaza.
The following day, the ship continued to North Bali where guests had a
chance to visit local attractions on the island. These include
photogenic spots like the Kekeran Rice Terrace, the protected sanctuary
of Plataran Menjangan Resort Bali and also West Bali; or a dive in the
pristine waters of Menjangan Island.
“Resorts World Cruises is excited to include both Surabaya and North
Bali as destinations for this special Indonesia cruise from both our
homeports. Indonesia remains an important cruise market with huge
potential both as a destination and source market for the fly-cruise
sector," said Michael Goh, president of Resorts World Cruises.
The cruise line also welcomed Indonesian delegates in Surabaya,
comprising media, travel and business partners for a special showcase
event on the Genting Dream.
