Pickleball may be the main event, but life onboard Genting Dream goes far beyond the court. Halal, vegetarian, and other dietary options are available, making it easy to enjoy the journey your way. When you are ready to take a break from rallies and serves, the ship opens up a full spectrum of experiences designed for both thrill and relaxation. You can race down waterslides with sweeping ocean views, challenge yourself on the rope course, or switch things up with glow bowling, VR attractions, and classic arcade games.
If slowing down is more your style, The Spa offers a calm escape at sea, perfect for recharging between activities, while the fitness centre lets you keep moving even off the court. As night falls, the ship comes alive with Broadway-style theatrical shows and live performances, adding a touch of glamour to your evenings onboard.
Food is a highlight in its own right. With over 35 dining venues, you are free to eat your way around the world without ever leaving the ship. Expect everything from comforting Asian favourites and international classics to premium seafood, sizzling grills, and indulgent sweet treats. Whether you are grabbing a quick bite after a match or settling in for a long, leisurely dinner, every meal becomes part of the journey.
