Singapore Family Holiday with a 3-Night Genting Dream Cruise

About this trip

Family holidays fail on pacing, not on attractions. This one is built with an afternoon break every day, hotels with a pool, and a cruise where the kids club is included in the fare. Genting Dream takes children from six months in the nursery and runs supervised clubs through the day, which is how parents get a sea day too. We apply child and third-guest rates properly rather than charging four adults.

Best for: Families with children aged 3 to 14

Why guests pick this one

• Child and third-guest cruise rates applied, not four adult fares
• Connecting or family rooms requested at booking, not on arrival
• An afternoon break built into every city day
• Halal, vegetarian and allergy meal requests logged with the ship and hotel

Day by day
