Mr Thatcher Brown, President of Dream Cruises said, “Today, we are truly excited to debut Genting Dream in Port Klang, Selangor, which is also close in proximity to Kuala Lumpur, as well as in Penang last week (27 Nov). As one of Asia’s growing markets in cruise tourism, Genting Cruise Lines continues to see great potential in Malaysia and we are thrilled to be able to support the industry with our calls to Port Klang and Penang as part of Genting Dream’s itineraries from Singapore.”
