Entertainment on the ship is guaranteed state of the art thanks to an interactive communication system and extensive stage equipment.
Environmentally friendly marine engines, diesel-electric pod drives, and improved hydrodynamics as well as numerous energy saving measures, heat recovery or ballast water cleaning all contribute to an ecological cruise experience and considerably reduced operating costs.
Genting Dream has 35 restaurants and bars and an endless assortment of fun activities – including submersibles, waterslides, bowling alley, rope course, rock climbing wall as well as plenty of space for other outdoor activities.
