The World Dream continued her tour of Taiwan with her debut in Keelung as part of her Hong Kong/Taiwan dual homeport deployment in 2019.

With three special sailings in July and August, the World Dream will bring over 10,000 guests from Hong Kong and International regions to enjoy a cruise to Taiwan, according to a statement from Genting.

“Keelung has played such an important role in the history of Genting Cruise Lines and we are proud to bring our latest Dream Cruises ship, World Dream, to continue our support of this key port city,” said Thatcher Brown, President of Dream Cruises. “Our ground-breaking itinerary allows us to not only bring international tourists to visit this wonderful destination but also provides an opportunity for local guests to enjoy their very own dream vacation on board World Dream from the convenience of their own backyard.”

The Keelung debut of the World Dream was commemorated by a special welcome event which took place on July 8 on the World Dream and also provided guests the chance to experience an exclusive sneak peek of Dream Cruises’ new Global-cass ship through a specially constructed preview cabin showcased onboard the ship..
