Genting Hong Kong’s Dream Cruises applies to wind up firm

SINGAPORE — Cruise operator Dream Cruises has filed a court petition to be wound up, days after its beleaguered parent company, Genting Hong Kong, said that its own filing for bankruptcy will not affect the cruise line's operations.

Dream Cruises has three ships in its fleet that operate out of Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan.

It is also one of the operators running cruises-to-nowhere in Singapore. The impact on operations in Singapore is not clear at the moment.

The Singapore Tourism Board said in response to TODAY's queries on Thursday (Feb 3) that it was aware of this latest development.

"We are in contact with Dream Cruises and will continue to monitor the situation closely."
