One iconic attraction on board the Genting Dream would be the first ever Zouk club on sea. Expect the same legendary parties from the iconic club, except this time, it’s on the high seas. When you’re done clubbing indoors, head out to Zouk Beach and dance to tracks spun by world class DJs till the wee hours of the morning.
The Zouk Beach comes complete with its very own splash pool.
Just in case you’re not in a clubbing kind of mood, scoot over to the Silk Road & Cabaret for the over 18s. Dream girls will come and perform fun, cabaret-style burlesques for you. The performances are interactive so join in whenever you want!
The Silk Road & Cabaret is located just next to a slew of private karaoke rooms for you to sing to your heart’s content.
