StarDream Cruises – which operates StarCruises and Dream Cruises – has curated an “unforgettable” 2026 lineup for Asia Pacific travellers, including special star appearances, expanded sailings, and limited-time deals.
“This year, we are bringing together the very best of Asia – from its destinations and cuisine to its entertainment and culture – into one unforgettable holiday experience for our guests,” said Michael Goh, president of StarDream Cruises.
A major highlight is Dream Cruises’ 10th anniversary celebrations - which officially kicked off when Genting Dream sailed on her first departure from Port Klang, Malaysia on 20 April.
K-culture takes centre stage across select sailings from May through year-end. The line-up includes K-pop girl group Kiiras; fitness and wellness advocate Kim Jaehong – better known as Amotti from Netflix’s Physical: 100; and chef Tommie Lee, aka French Papa from Culinary Class Wars Season 2.

To mark the milestone, Dream Cruises has also unveiled a slew of limited-time anniversary promotions. Guests can take advantage of the one-for-one deal on all Genting Dream sailings, or the other deal which offers a special rate of RM$10 (US$2.53) per person for the third and fourth passengers sharing the same cabin.
Sister brand StarCruises also recently announced the return of Malaysia celebrity Datuk Chef Wan, who will join on a special three-night cruise from Port Klang onboard Star Voyager.
This will be followed by two additional two-night Phuket cruises departing from Port Klang on 25 and 27 May, alongside additional sailings from Singapore.
Goh added that the curated programming underscores the cruise line’s commitment to “strengthen our presence in Malaysia and support Malaysia’s momentum towards Visit Malaysia 2026”.
“By homeporting in Port Klang, we are making cruising more accessible for Malaysians while positioning Malaysia as a key gateway for cruise travel across Asia.”
Across 2026, guests on both Dream Cruises and StarCruises who are Maybank Mastercard and Visa credit card members can additionally shave off an extra 5% off all journeys. This offer is available exclusively on the cruise line’s website.
