Float Out of Dream Cruises’ New Ship, World Dream
Genting Cruise Lines celebrated the
float out of its newest cruise ship,
Dream Cruises’ World Dream, on
Saturday, 26 August at the Meyer Werft
shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.
This milestone also marked the
unveiling of World Dream’s new hull
artwork by renowned London-based,
Shanghainese artist, Jacky Tsai. Entitled
“A Tale of Two Dreams”, the visual
narrative will play upon the age old
themes of pure love and harmony.
The float out of World Dream is an
important step in the construction
process of the new ship as it symbolizes
the official “launch” of the vessel,
where it leaves dry land and becomes
waterborne for the first time.
“Genting Cruise Lines is extremely
proud to commemorate the float out
of World Dream, the newest member
of our family, for Dream Cruises, “Asia’s
Luxury Cruise Line,” said Mr Kent Zhu,
President of Genting Cruise Lines.
“Well on her way to completion, World
Dream will effectively double Dream
Cruises’ capacity in the Asia Pacific to
cater to the high-end and fly/cruise
markets in the region with even more
enhanced facilities and amenities.”
The float out also served as the first
introduction to the public of the
colourful new hull artwork that adorns
the exterior of the vessel.
Mr Tsai had already distinguished
himself by providing the artwork for
Dream Cruises’ inaugural ship, Genting
Dream, with the epic love story
between a mermaid and an astronaut
gracing the hull of the vessel – a grand
“canvas” to depict the “Voyage of
a Lover’s Dream”. On World Dream,
Mr Tsai will conclude this tale while
introducing brand new characters
to create a new masterpiece of truly

oceanic proportions. “Where Genting
Dream told the tale of a romantic love
between an astronaut and a mermaid,
the artwork for the new ship, World
Dream, is about a stronger, purer love
of family and everlasting friendships,”
said Jacky Tsai.
The story unfolds on the starboard
side of World Dream with the main
character, the Captain of the ship,
looking through his telescope at
Chang’e, the Chinese fairy, who is
surrounded by whimsical elements
as she floats through the air. In the
background, the Mermaid and the
Astronaut are seen in silhouette on
the moon as they hold hands and fly
away into the distance. On the port
side of the ship, the Mermaid and the
Astronaut, hand
