Genting Hong Kong, the cruises arm of Malaysian casino and leisure giant Genting Group, is ready to position more ships in Singapore - a move that will boost the country's global cruise hub ambitions.
The first of a fleet of "Global-class" ships - potentially the largest cruise ships in the world by capacity - will be cruising in Asia in 2021, carrying up to 9,500 passengers, Genting HK chairman and chief executive Lim Kok Thay said yesterday at the company's 25th anniversary commemorating its first cruise from Singapore in 1993.
