SINGAPORE - The Republic remains an attractive cruise hub for many cruise lines, despite the recent troubles at Dream Cruises and its parent company, Genting Hong Kong.

Speaking in Parliament on Friday , Minister of State for Trade and Industry Alvin Tan said Singapore has a year-round tropical climate and strong market potential here and in the region.

He was responding to a question from Mr Dennis Tan , who asked about the possible impacts of cruise operator Dream Cruises and Genting Hong Kong filing to be wound up. Mr Alvin Tan said Royal Caribbean, the other cruise operator here, recently brought forward the deployment of its other vessel, Spectrum of the Seas, from October this year to April. This will provide business opportunities for MBCCS.

Cruise lines that operated here before the pandemic included Costa Cruises, Carnival Cruise Line and Princess Cruises.
