Dream Cruises introduces a new and exciting activity for its guests. The cruise line partners with Performance Pickleball to launch the first pickleball clinic at sea on Genting Dream. The clinic takes place during sailings from Singapore to Phuket in February 2026. Guests can learn and play pickleball while surrounded by ocean scenery and resort-style amenities.
The pickleball clinic runs during two sailing schedules. The first takes place from February 3 to February 6. The second follows from February 6 to February 9. This collaboration marks a milestone for Dream Cruises as the brand expands its offerings for active travelers who want movement and recreation during their holiday.
Pickleball continues to grow worldwide. Sports organizations rank pickleball among the fastest-growing recreational sports. Southeast Asia records strong participation growth as more community clubs and leisure venues adopt the sport. Dream Cruises identifies this trend and brings the game to sea for the first time.
Partnership Introduces New Active Travel Experiences
StarDream Cruises President Michael Goh celebrates the partnership and highlights the line’s focus on active travel. Dream Cruises invests in programs that mix leisure, wellness, culture, and recreation. Pickleball aligns perfectly with this direction. Guests can enjoy a modern sport along with entertainment, dining, and world-class hospitality on Genting Dream.
Performance Pickleball manages the instructional side of the clinic. The company brings professional mobile courts and experienced instructors onboard. Guests of all skill levels can join the sessions and learn rules, footwork, and strategy. The clinic welcomes families, first-time learners, and seasoned players at no extra charge.
Genting Dream features spacious outdoor decks and multiple activity areas. The pickleball courts sit in ideal viewing spots and offer scenic open-water backdrops. Guests can move between the courts, restaurants, theaters, and lounges without long distances. This layout supports Dream Cruises’ goal of creating seamless and active onboard experiences.
Performance Pickleball Brings Innovation to Sea
Performance Pickleball stands as one of Singapore’s leading names in the sport. The company focuses on creative delivery and mobile athletic setups. Founders Jeremy and Jeovanne built Performance Pickleball to make the sport accessible across public, private, and event-based environments. Their collaboration with Dream Cruises takes that mission into a new venue.
The founders aim to build community through sport. They believe pickleball fits well with cruise travel because players connect through teamwork and shared learning. Bringing pickleball to Genting Dream exposes the sport to new audiences. Many guests will try the game for the first time during their holiday.
This collaboration also supports the growth of health-conscious travel. More travelers seek vacations that combine activity with relaxation. Cruise lines across Asia and Australia now expand wellness offerings to match this shift. Pickleball strengthens that trend by offering a sport that is friendly, low-impact, and inclusive.
How Guests Participate Onboard
Guests can sign up for the clinic at the Box Office Counter on Deck 6. Sessions fill quickly due to high interest, so early registration is encouraged. Performance Pickleball instructors guide participants through drills, games, and competitions. Guests enjoy a structured program that teaches form, etiquette, and scoring in a fun and social setting.
The cruise combines this new activity with Genting Dream’s broader tourism package. The ship departs Singapore and sails to Phuket. Phuket remains one of Asia’s most popular leisure destinations due to its beaches, cultural sites, and year-round warm climate. Guests can explore Phuket on shore excursions before returning to the ship for entertainment and dining.
Dream Cruises Embraces Wellness and Active Tourism
Dream Cruises continues to expand options for guests who want more than traditional cruising. The line invests in programs that promote wellness, mobility, and social engagement. Pickleball joins yoga, dance, and other recreation offerings across the fleet. These activities support travel trends that favor health and lifestyle-focused vacations.
Active tourism continues to grow in Asia. Tourism authorities in Singapore and Thailand report increased demand for sports-based travel and island leisure packages. Dream Cruises positions itself at the center of this trend by providing a mix of recreation and resort-style comfort at sea.
A Unique Vacation with Sports and Scenery
The pickleball clinic enhances the cruise experience on Genting Dream. Guests learn a new sport, meet fellow travelers, and enjoy stunning ocean views. The setting offers sun, sea air, and a relaxed pace that supports both wellness and recreation.
Dream Cruises plans to deepen its commitment to active travel. The success of this first pickleball clinic may lead to expanded programs in the future. Guests seeking meaningful and memorable holidays will find strong reasons to join these voyages.
