If indulging in fine food and travelling by sea sounds like your kind of escape, then we've got the perfect adventure in mind. Come summertime, Resorts World Cruises will be staging their yummiest expedition yet: Savour Around the World.

Embark on a tantalising epicurean cruise that will take your taste buds on a delectable journey across the seas! Even though you'll be a few pounds heavier at the end of the cruise, is there a more delicious way to spend your summer? We think not.   Foodies, this one's for you: Sample the tastiest local and international cuisine at Resorts World Cruises' Savour Around the World!* Join two- or three-night cruises aboard Genting Dream from 12 Jul to 30 Aug 2023, and savour all the culinary delights that somehow taste even better at sea. *Minimal charges apply.   Everything to eat and do at Savour Around the World with Resorts World Cruises 1. Scarf down the tastiest delights from around the world No need to actually fly halfway across the planet to discover all the culinary gems each country has to offer. Instead, you can get a taste of 'em on Deck 16 of the Genting Dream with Savour Around the World this summer. Expect an exorbitant amount of food, so make sure your appetite is ready. In the mood for American favourites like giant burgers and foot-long hot dogs? Perhaps you're craving authentic Mexican tacos. Or maybe you'd like to eat your weight in sweet fruits and stacks of pancakes instead? The Genting Dream is all stocked up for every type of craving. Sample as much as you can, learn about international cuisine, and maybe you'll even discover a new favourite dish aboard! 2. Pick up scrumptious chips, sweets, and more to take home If you're the type of traveller who enjoys taking home souvenirs from trips abroad, then you're in luck: Resorts World Cruises curated the tastiest treats at the International Snack Store on Deck 6. Discover the best snack brands from different countries, from salty Japanese potato chips to traditional sweet treats that are the perfect palate cleanser after those spicy Asian dishes. Make the most of the International Snack Store; here, you'll find great souvenirs for family and friends back home. Keep in mind that the shop will only be available during the Savour Around the World event. It's not every day we tell you to hoard what you can, but this just might be the exception! 3. Snap photos for the 'Gram on floaties shaped like classic treats A pool party is never complete without giant, colourful floaties, right? Imagine yourself on a luxurious cruise ship, lazily drifting on a whimsical inflatable with the glorious ocean as a backdrop. It's a classic; we can picture it on our Instagram grid as we speak! At Savour Around the World, these colourful inflatables are food-inspired, of course. Tasty-looking Instagrammable setups surround the area, too! So, work up an appetite at the Main Pool on Deck 16 before chowtime. Sunbathe, swim, and snap photos poolside for your social media, and then you can go back to gorging on mouthwatering international fare. 4. Take a dip in quirky foodie-approved jacuzzis This is a vacation, so take the time to let yourself sit back and relax. If you're seeking the epitome of relaxation on Genting Dream, look no further than the jacuzzis on Deck 16. Four jacuzzis on the deck promise there's plenty of room for multiple travellers, providing the perfect setting for unwinding at any time of the day. And since we're here to celebrate our love for food, these jacuzzis have been made extra foodielicious. Soak in hot tubs that are dressed up to look like spicy stews and savoury soups — it's a new way to enjoy a soothing dip, that's for sure! 5. Explore Genting Dream's on-board dining spots Savour Around the World is a fantastic excuse to indulge and introduce new cuisine to cruise-goers. But even beyond the event, the Genting Dream is a cruise-loving foodie's paradise with a remarkable selection of on-board restaurants and an abundance of food choices to satisfy even the most discerning traveller. After all, the ship has over 35 restaurants, allowing passengers to sample flavours from different cuisines on their two- or three-day cruises. So, make the most of this golden culinary opportunity! Buffet-style The Lido is always a safe go-to choice for hungry travellers, serving a sumptuous halal spread of vegetarian and non-vegetarian food. As the first halal-certified cruise in the world, Genting Dream is a popular choice among passengers. Love Chinese cuisine? Splurge on a fine-dining experience in Silk Road or indulge in set menus in Dream Dining Room. Meanwhile, Japanese favourites are served in abundance in Umi Uma. Speciality restaurant Blue Lagoon is also hailed for delivering delicious Singaporean dishes on Genting Dream. Hungry for steak? Seafood Grill & Prime Steakhouse is probably your best bet. No matter what you're salivating for, you're definitely on the right ship to satisfy your cravings. Join Savour Around the World and indulge in a culinary adventure where you can learn about a wide variety of cuisines, savour local specialities, and sample diverse flavours from different countries.

Chase your sugar rush with super-sweet delights You're on holiday. So, we think it's fine if the family enjoys a few extra heapings of dessert. After all, this is the Sugar Pop Carnival, and stuffing our faces full of sweet and sugary treats is half the joy! Don't miss out on the fondue bar, where dipping enthusiasts can dunk fresh fruits and marshmallows into delicious melted chocolate.

Make colourful slime with the kiddos There's something undeniably fun and creative about making slime with youngsters! Spend a couple of hours playing with glue, water, colour, and glitter at one of the slime-making workshops at Sugar Pop Carnival. Not only is it a great way to foster imagination, but the hands-on activity is also a great way for little kids to practise motor skills such as grip and coordination. More importantly, children love it! 4. Create colourful Pop-It art at Sugar Pop Carnival Not really keen on slimy creations? Well, maybe you and the brood prefer expressing your artistic flair with the fidget toy Pop-It instead. The ultra-popular toy craze makes its way aboard Genting Dream at the Sugar Pop Carnival, with Pop-It painting sessions for the artsy kids on the cruise. A relaxed activity indoors, it's a great way to wind down after other cruise activities.

Thrill-seeking teens and adults up for a jolt of adrenaline are in for an exciting time at the onboard rope course set against a stunning ocean backdrop. Run, leap, and swing over the water — then guide younger adventurers at the lower-level rope course designed for anyone with a height below 140 centimetres. There's also a rock wall and zipline for travellers who can't get enough of dizzying heights! On the other hand, families who prefer to enjoy their cruise in the water can lounge and splash at the pool deck instead. A dip in the cool waters of the pool is a great way to beat the summer heat and humidity. Plus, there's no shortage of water slides — Genting Dream has six! 6. Treat yourself to world-class entertainment Here's what a lot of people don't know about cruises: Most offer more (and better) entertainment options than many five-star hotels and resorts, especially on Genting Dream. The cruise ship is home to the majestic Zodiac Theatre, the main theatre that hosts a wide variety of top-quality shows, including concerts, musicals, ballet performances, and even magic shows. Craving for a nightcap? Make your way to Bar City for an impressive selection of spirits while enjoying live music and performances. Revellers who want to party and dance the night away will enjoy spending after-hours at Zouk and Zouk Beach Club where guest DJs keep the tunes playing all night long. 7. Relax with the fam in a luxe suite aboard Genting Dream Finally, retreat to your own private cocoon to relax and bond with the brood at the end of the day. Families can choose among a variety of rooms and suites for a serene place to rest in between Sugar Pop Carnival activities. With a queen bed and a sofa bed, the spacious Balcony Stateroom is a great option for families with three to four members. Luxury travellers will want to splurge for accommodations at the all-suite The Palace, where you'll enjoy a personal butler and access to exclusive amenities like the VIP Lounge.

A Guide to Cruising Phuket With Resorts World Cruises

Take a few days off and set sail on the ultimate tropical cruise to Phuket. Pristine white beaches, dreamy isles, and vibrant cultural gems, it's no wonder why so many travellers can't get enough of Phuket. Thailand's Andaman Coast is the ultimate summer destination, a place where a blissful postcard getaway is never out of reach. Coming from Singapore and Malaysia, the best way to get immersed in this blissful tropical landscape is by exploring it by water. Even for first-time sea voyagers, cruising Phuket is exceptionally glorious: It's comfortable and convenient, equipped with everything travellers need when exploring the world. Already imagining your sailing adventure to Phuket? Here's everything you need to know for a journey at sea that's just as magical as your Thailand destination. Planning a cruise to Phuket Getting there Sail to a tropical paradise with Resorts World Cruises' three-day cruises to Phuket from Singapore and Port Klang, Malaysia. Travellers in Malaysia can kick off the cruise from Port Klang, head to Singapore, and then sail off to Phuket before returning to Port Klang. On the other hand, a Singapore cruise to Phuket will take passengers straight to the mesmerising island of Thailand. Either way, Resorts World Cruises will take you on an unforgettable sightseeing tour. If you're coming from Port Klang, you'll even enjoy exploring the shores of two countries! Best time to cruise Phuket Whether you're in town to swim, shop, or soak up the sun, Phuket is a year-round tropical destination. Even when there's rain in Thailand — the monsoon season is usually from May to October — tourists will typically see rain showers interspersed with plenty of sunshine, too. Thus, you can pretty much enjoy exploring and cruising in Phuket any time of the year! Meet your ride, Genting Dream What better way to make the most of your vacation time than by starting the adventure literally the moment you step on board? It's the best thing about cruising to Phuket or other places: You don't have to wait to get to your destination to get the party started. With a holiday cruise, a ship is more than just a means of transportation — it's the first destination of your whirlwind adventure! And we can't ask for a better ride than Genting Dream. One of the biggest ships sailing Asian waters, Genting Dream feels like a floating resort. It's decked out with plush rooms and fancy suites, exceptional dining spots, exciting nightlife options, and world-class recreation and entertainment. Dining and entertainment Although you're cruising to Phuket, don't be surprised if your time onboard ends up being one of the highlights of your trip. For one, food and drink are top-notch; the buffet-style Lido is a crowd-favourite, serving a wide array of international cuisine. The only halal-certified cruise in Asia, Genting Dream spoils its diners with delectable halal, vegetarian, and non-vegetarian options every meal. Bar City is your stop when you're ready for a nightcap, with the bar's premium wine, whiskey, and cocktail drinks. Party animals typically head to the Zouk Beach Club for pool parties that go on till the wee hours of the night. Expect a night to remember as you dance with fellow revellers to high-octave DJ sets. When it comes to entertainment, Genting Dream doesn't disappoint either. The ship guarantees there's space for everyone, from the Zodiac Theatre for mesmerising ballets to the 6 Waterslide Park for exciting and splashy escapades in the water. Cruise passengers who are up for even more thrills will be psyched to find an entire rope course aboard the ship. There's even a zipline for anyone who wants to take their adrenaline rush to the next level. Prefer to be pampered? Indulge in "me time" at the tranquil Crystal Life Spa, where professionals will treat you to Asian and Western spa treatments that will leave you relaxed and rejuvenated. Incredible accommodations Balcony Stateroom After sightseeing in Phuket and exploring the magnificent Genting Dream, you deserve a perfect night's sleep — so you can do it all over again the next day, of course! Luckily, you'll have your pick of comfy rooms on the ship, from the small yet pristine Interior Stateroom to the sprawling Balcony Stateroom that's appointed with a cosy outdoor terrace over the ocean. Best things to see and do in Phuket Phuket Old Town Image credit: adisa via Canva Pro It's easy to get lost in the delights of Genting Dream but Phuket is just as much of a dream to explore. Bask in the vintage, old-world vibe of Phuket Old Town, a historic quarter teeming with colourful colonial buildings. Now, these beautiful Portuguese- and Chinese-style buildings serve as cafes, boutique shops, galleries, and guesthouses — not to mention, it's a stunning backdrop for travel snaps on the 'Gram! Stay until the sun comes down and you'll see the streets come alive with bustling night markets. Wat Chalong & Big Buddha Image credit: vichie81 via Canva Pro Temples are one of the mainstays of any Thailand itinerary. And so when you're visiting Phuket, make sure you don't miss the largest and most popular one, Wat Chalong. Don't miss dropping by the Grand Pagoda for a peek at the temple's most sacred relic: a bone fragment of Buddha encased in glass. Also worth a visit is the Big Buddha. As the name suggests, it's a massive marble statue perched on a hill in the southwestern part of Phuket. Tourists can catch a glimpse of the massive Buddha statue from kilometres away. But we recommend taking the hike up the hill for a closer look; not only is it much more majestic up close, but the panoramic views from the top are one of the best on the island. Patong Beach Image credit: Gam1983 via Canva Pro You can't go cruising to Phuket and not make your way to a beach. The famous Patong Beach is always a good pick, a white stretch of the coast that's home to sandy shores and, perhaps more notoriously, a legendary nightlife scene. Chase the wildest parties on Bangla Street, where the party is known to go on till morning. Even for travellers who aren't keen on ragers and bars, Patong Beach is a fun stop. Besides the ocean, there are shops and dining spots that are worth exploring. Beautiful islands Bamboo Island | Image credit: Pjjaruwan's Images via Canva Pro What's a tropical getaway without visiting a handful of beautiful isles? Luckily, you'll never run out of islands when cruising around Phuket Province — it's home to 39 tiny ones, after all! It'll take you a couple of trips to see them all, but try to hit a few on your next visit. Off-shore excursions in Phuket with Resorts World Cruises include island hopping to picturesque islands like Phi Phi Leh Island, Phi Phi Don, and Bamboo Island. Mouthwatering Thai cuisine Image credit: PUVORA via Canva Pro When in Thailand, you can't miss out on world-class Thai food! It's one of the biggest draws of the country, after all, whether you're visiting the bustling capital or hopping from island to island. Expect a bit of a milder flavour in Phuket compared to the eye-popping spice found in the rest of Thailand, but don't worry — the dishes are definitely just as much of a highlight on this island as it is elsewhere. Phuket Town, as the capital, features some of the best dining spots on the island, from noodle restaurants to street food stalls. On Sundays, the vibrant Phuket Walking Street Night Market in the Old Town is especially famous among locals and tourists, with authentic local delights such as pad thai, satay, fried noodles, noodle soups, and many more. Before leaving Phuket, we also recommend dropping by Cashew Nut Factory for a few bags of one of the island's most beloved products. Ready to seize the day and see the best of Phuket by sea? Resorts World Cruises invites you to hop aboard Genting Dream for a summer holiday sailing the high seas. See you there? Brought to you by Resorts World Cruises.
