Resorts World Cruises adds Port Klang as second homeport

This is in additon to cruises from Singapore, which commenced June 15.

Two-night cruises round-trip Port Klang to Singapore will depart on Thursdays and Saturdays and three-night cruises round-trip Port Klang to Penang and Singapore will depart on Mondays.

Weekend cruise to nowhere returns

Departure days from Singapore will remain the same: Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. And, from July 22 onward, Friday cruises will reintroduce a two-night weekend cruise to nowhere.

The Port Klang embarkation caters to the 10m population residing in central peninsular Malaysia, including Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Malacca. And, with Kuala Lumpur International Airport nearby, international travelers will now have a greater choice of airlines and fares.

Resorts World Cruises is excited 'boost the in- and outbound tourists for Singapore, and to bring cruising to the "doorsteps" of Malaysians residing in central peninsular Malaysia as they can depart from Kuala Lumpur, which is convenient and affordable,' said Michael Goh, president of Resorts World Cruises.

OIC/SMIIC halal standard

Goh added that Genting Dream's certification by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation/The Standards and Metrology Institute for Islamic Countries' halal standard will appeal to a 'significant segment of Malaysian and international travelers across the region.'

Crew and passengers are required to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19, while passengers also need to present a self-paid, pre-cruise antigen test taken one day before departure.
