Singapore, Melaka & Penang with StarDream Cruises
5 days · Genting Dream · from $520
A four-night taste of cruising from Singapore — two storied Straits ports, sea days built for the buffet, and no visa paperwork at all.
The easiest first cruise there is: fly to Singapore, sail two of the Straits' great trading ports and be home within the week. Genting Dream carries the region's best Asian dining afloat — dim sum to teppanyaki — plus a water park the kids will not leave, and The Palace, a private ship-within-a-ship, for those who want the quiet upstairs.
- Round-trip from Singapore — no visa needed for Philippine passports
- Two UNESCO ports: Melaka and George Town, Penang
- Asia's best cruise dining, dim sum to teppanyaki
