Entitled ‘A Tale of Two Dreams’, the visual narrative plays on the themes of pure love and harmony.
‘Dream Cruises is excited to have Jacky Tsai return to continue the story he began on Genting Dream,’ said Thatcher Brown, president of Dream Cruises.
‘Tsai’s distinctive artwork skilfully blends Asian and Western influences together to create a truly iconic visual statement that encapsulate our brand’s ethos – Asian at heart, international in spirit.’
Tsai’s hull artwork for earlier sister ship, Genting Dream, based on a love story between a mermaid and an astronaut, is called ‘Voyage of a Lover’s Dream’.
On World Dream, Tsai concludes the tale while introducing new characters to create a new masterpiece.
‘Where Genting Dream told the tale of a romantic love between an astronaut and a mermaid, the artwork for the new ship, World Dream, is about a stronger, purer love of family and everlasting friendships,’ said Tsai.
The story unfolds on the starboard side of World Dream with the main character, the captain of the ship, looking through his telescope at Chang’e, the Chinese fairy, who is surrounded by whimsical elements as she floats through the air. In the background, the Mermaid and the Astronaut are seen in silhouette on the moon as they hold hands and fly away into the distance. On the port side of the ship, the Mermaid and the Astronaut, hand in hand, are rendered more fully in dazzling colour to bring to a close this compelling love story.
World Dream will undertake a conveyance down the river Ems to the North Sea next month before heading to China with dual homeports Hong Kong and Guangzhou (Nansha).
