Genting Dream 26 Sep 2018

Genting Dream is the first ultra large cruise ship of Dream Cruise, part of the Genting Group.  This is the first time I went on board such a huge ship. It is 335.33m or 1,100feet 2 Inches long with beam of 39.7m and weigh 150,695 gross ton. It was built in Germany, and made its maiden voyage on 4 Nov 2016. It can carry up to 3,352 passengers and 1,999 crew members. There are many ships of such sizes nowadays, but you would most likely be impressed by their immense size and facilities on board. It is truly a floating city, only to be refuelled and maintain to keep going.
