Genting Dream will make 24 stops in Surabaya per year, or twice a month on even weeks. The cruise line offers two packages: a 6-day, 5-night trip and a 3-day, 2-night trip. The President of Dream Cruises, Thatcher Brown, said that Indonesia's tourism industry is growing quickly in Southeast Asia. Surabaya and North Bali were chosen because they are popular among tourists and serve as a gateway to other popular destinations in the country. The company also felt that the port of call was ideal for Dream Cruises' concept.
