The Resorts World One cruise ship by Resort World Cruises (RWC) made its maiden voyage to the Swettenham Pier Cruise Terminal (SPCT) this morning.
Resorts World One was formerly the Explorer Dream, a 75,338 gross ton 13-storey high cruise ship that features 928 rooms, which can accommodate over 1,856 guests with world-class cruise facilities.
Resorts World One is chartered by Resorts World Cruises and she will replace Genting Dream’s as the Genting Dream has gone into dry-dock for regular maintenance.
The cruise resumption of Resorts World Cruises in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur (via Port Klang) with the Genting Dream from June 2022 had propelled the demand for cruise passengers to above pre-COVID-19 levels for the second half of 2022, supporting the revival of the tourism industries in both homeport countries.
“We are pleased that Resorts World Cruises will have the first cruise ship to homeport in Hong Kong after the resumption of normal travel with the Mainland and overseas. We hope to support the growth of Hong Kong tourism as we had done for both Singapore and Malaysia,” said Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, Chairman of Resorts World Cruises.
Resorts World One will also showcase many of the hallmarks of the brand, including the signature luxury “ship within a ship” – The Palace with exclusive amenities and facilities, including its own 24-hour European style butler service.
In addition, Resorts World One also provides many choices of onboard accommodations such as Balcony, Oceanview and inside staterooms, complemented by best-in-class services, cuisine, Live international performances and a myriad of exciting offerings and recreational activities.
For the guests’ comfort and peace of mind, Resorts World One will also apply and enforce its enhanced and stringent safety and precautionary measures in accordance with Hong Kong and international guidelines.
