Dream Cruises was created with the aim of offering cruises to traveling Asian families in a style that is similar to that of the West, with latest generation ships and a large number of attractions on board. “Asian at heart, international in spirit” is the company’s claim. Featured on the fleet, made up of ships with artfully decorated hulls, there are a series of specialty restaurants, entertainment for families (both children and adults), large dance clubs and attention to well-being with the latest fitness equipment. With large ships and short and interesting itineraries, Dream Cruises is the Asian company among the most inviting to an international public.

JPLs appointed for Dream Cruises

Joint provisional liquidators have been appointed by the Supreme Court of Bermuda to assist in restructuring the indebtedness of Dream Cruises Holding Limited.

Puisne Judge Larry Mussenden on Friday appointed Bermudian-based Alex Whittaker, of R&H Services Limited, Reid Street, Hamilton, as well as Edward Middleton and Tiffany Wong, of Alvarez and Marsal in Hong Kong, as JPLs.

Mr Justice Mussenden made the order after hearing from lawyer Lilla Zuill, representing DCHL.

Ms Zuill told the court that DCHL is an investment holding company, a subgroup of which operates a fleet of three cruise ships.

The company was incorporated in Bermuda in 2015.

Ocean World, itself a subsidiary of DCHL parent company Genting Hong Kong Limited, holds 69.97 per cent of the company’s issued share capital and Dream Minority Equity Consortium holds 30.03 per cent.

Dream Cruises is one of three lines operated by parent company Genting.

Last month, the same three joint provisional liquidators were appointed by the Supreme Court here to assist in restructuring the Genting group’s indebtedness.

Now, DCHL has sought and been granted an order by the court similar to that requested by its parent company.

Ms Zuill told the court that Genting was the “primary source of operational funding” for DCHL.

She said there was “significant financial pressure” on DCHL and certain of its lenders have issued reservation of rights letters to the company.

Ms Zuill added that DCHL was taking “urgent action” to seek the appointment of JPLs who will negotiate with creditors regarding a “value-enhancing restructuring as opposed to a value-destructive liquidation process”.

She said DCHL had “a very viable underlying business to be preserved by a restructuring of the company’s indebtedness”.

Ms Zuill acknowledged the potential for conflict with the same set of JPLs appointed in respect of parent Genting and its subsidiary, but said there are benefits to retaining the same nominees and added that there were “contingencies in place in case a conflict arises”.

Lawyer Rhys Williams of Conyers, representing the Dream Minority Equity Consortium, addressing the potential conflict because of the overlap of JPLs, said his “client’s position is reserved in that regard”.

Ms Zuill said an ad hoc group of creditors of the company have indicated their agreement with the appointment of the three JPLs.

Mr Justice Mussenden ordered the sealing of an affirmation and exhibits on the court file by Chris Chan, which Ms Zuill told the court contained “commercially sensitive information” related to negotiations and internal business affairs.

Genting has also operated Star Cruises in Asia, and Crystal Cruises, which makes a range of round trips from the ports of Barcelona, Antarctica and Miami, including sailing to Bermuda.

The hearing of the petition to wind up DCHL was adjourned to May 6.

“Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta

I grew up military (Navy & Air Force) bouncing all over the United States and Okinawa, Japan, and even joined the Navy myself.  I was blessed with parents who chose to spend weekends exploring all the places we lived  and the surrounding areas.  I've lived in Charleston, SC, Las Vegas, NC, New Orleans, LA, upstate New York, and a variety of other places.  When I married my husband in 2011, our honeymoon was our first cruise and we fell in love with cruising.  Since then we have cruised at least once or twice a year, having been all over the Caribbean and as far north as Nova Scotia.  

  For years friends have been coming to me for guidance and advice on cruising, I have spent hours on various cruise boards assisting people, and just loved researching all of places that we were going and the cruise ships we were sailing on.  I was always enamored with the idea of being a travel professional.  When the pandemic hit, and I had downtime from work, my husband convinced me to follow my dream and become a travel professional.  I took the TripKit course through The Travel Institute,  set up my own agency, and began booking cruises for my friends instead of just giving them advice.  I am now a Certified Travel Agent (CTA) through The Travel Institute and a Certified Cruise Counselor (CCC) through the Cruise Lines International Association. 

For many years I have been part of a non-profit medieval society.  Through my associations in that organization, I have had many people come to me for assistance in booking trips to visit the places in Europe they had only read of in books.  I have been having a fabulous time helping people put together amazing adventures and visiting places they thought they may never get a chance to see. 

Whether you are looking for a Lido Deck Adventure or a Living Dream Adventure, contact me today and it would be my honor to send you on that Adventure.

Honest Alaskan Dream Cruises Review: Adventure on Small Ships

We ventured to Alaska’s Inside Passage on Baranof Dream, a 49-passenger ship in Alaskan Dream Cruises’ fleet. It was a terrific way to see the wildlife and scenery of the “Last Frontier” state. But who is an Alaskan Dream Cruises experience for, and what can you expect onboard? Dive in as we share our honest Alaskan Dream Cruises (ADC) review with important things to know before you book.

We recommend cruises, experiences, products, and services we personally use. As Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases.

Why Sail with Alaskan Dream Cruises?

When you invest in a cruise with Alaskan Dream Cruises, you’re investing in:

• Supporting local Alaskan businesses . Not only in the company — because ADC is locally owned and operated — but also in the businesses that ADC supports through its excursions and provisioning.
• A unique small ship experience where you’ll be able to get to know the other passengers rather well. With around 50 passengers per ship, it’s nice to be able to bond with the other guests in a shared setting that’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many people.
• Learning about the native people of Alaska is one of the reasons we were so excited to vacation with them. It’s a part of our Alaskan Dream Cruises review we want to highlight because it’s essential to recognize that, as travelers, it’s vital we support these cultures to keep them alive.

Alaskan Dream Cruises Overview

Who is alaskan dream cruises for.

We’d be remiss if we didn’t address this right off the bat because this cruise isn’t for everyone.

If you need a cruise with a ton of things to do onboard, internet, television in your room, a fancy bar, and attractive restaurants with artful cuisine to go with it, it’s not for you. If you like to get lost in a crowd and be anonymous on a cruise ship, an ADC cruise isn’t for you.

If you are game for an adventure with no-frills accommodations but an elevated feel by way of a great crew-to-guest ratio of 1:2 and outstanding excursions, this is the cruise for you.

You are one of a few dozen passengers and get to know the crew and your fellow passengers rather well during the trip. You form bonds and make memories together. There’s no escaping interacting with other guests when there aren’t many of you. We like that aspect of small ship cruising.

We’ve stayed in cruise ship staterooms and been on excursions that run the gamut, from a Maine Windjammer cruise where 25 people shared one shower to staying in The Retreat with Celebrity Cruises with our own private lux suite with a lovely bathtub in the shower to tendering to shore with hundreds of other passengers in the Caribbean , to being one of five people on a barge cruise exploring town.

The price point of Alaskan Dream Cruises is more than your average ocean cruise, as it should be. It’s a small ship experience that brings you into remote areas of Alaska with an all-American staff because it’s an American-owned ship and a US-owned company. It’s also Alaska – native owned, which is one of the reasons the cruise line appealed to us. We love supporting native American cultures and US companies — a double-whammy of support.

Notwithstanding is the price tag that comes with a small ship American cruise line experience, whether a river cruise or a small ocean ship. Expect to spend a minimum of $3,495 per person for a cruise with Alaskan Dream Cruises. This excludes getting to and from Alaska for the cruise. Some cruises have a higher price point, depending on the itinerary and ship.

This investment is inclusive of excursions, an onboard naturalist, a glass of beer or wine with dinner, and not feeling like one guest in a sea of thousands as you do on a big ship.

For the investment, you’ll experience “true Alaska,” as the brand boasts, with Alaskan-led tours and excursions and discovery in the nooks and crannies of Alaska, where big ships cannot go. Many would argue this kind of vacation is priceless.

Food and Drinks

The food and drinks aren’t going to be the reason you cruise with Alaskan Dream Cruises. Though some meals stood out above others, overall, it wasn’t memorable cuisine. But we cared less about the protein on our plate and more about things like sailing past glaciers with otters practically waving hello, so close to the water because there were only four decks.

When you’re on a big ship with 12 or more decks and don’t have a windowfront seat at dinner, it’s harder to appreciate nature during all times of the day.

Accommodations

We want to set realistic expectations for you in this Alaskan Dream Cruises review. The ship feels more like an upscale glamping experience rather than a temporary cushy home on the seas with luxurious, beautiful amenities. You’ll be a step above a well-setup, modern, top-of-the-line campsite on an Alaskan Dream Cruises ship.

Cruisers go for the destinations and scenery, not the ship itself. Which is precisely why we were there.

Cabins are very modest, with just the necessities. This is not the cruise for those looking to luxuriate. It’s a cruise aimed at people wanting to see wild Alaska, who are interested in supporting an Alaska-owned company.  

Suites are about the size of a small cabin on a mega cruise ship. On Baranof Dream, Decks 3 and 4 have suites. Deck 2 is the level you walk into the ship, which has several small cabins.

Three suites on the top level, on Deck 4. All staterooms have windows. This was a nice advantage when we were cruising and wanted to be inside to take cover from the wind but still wanted to see the beautiful landscape surrounding us. 

Experiences and Excursions

The excursions during our Inside Passage Sojourn itinerary were wonderful. If our naturalist wasn’t giving us some information about Alaska and where we were at each location, the cruise line partnered with local businesses and guides, many of whom were Native Americans. This very much enriched our experience.

Additionally, because we were on a small ship we were able to access areas big ships cannot. And this proved to be incredibly beneficial, like when we could get closer to the glaciers in Glacier Bay than the big ships could. Or when we docked in Kasaan, a small native village, or when we ended the trip with a gorgeous evening in Misty Fjords.

Wifi or Internet on Alaskan Dream Cruises

Simply put: there is no wifi on ADC ships. The lack of internet makes you focus on the wilderness and your surroundings, being with others, and enjoying your vacation. 

Alaskan Dream Cruises Ships in the Fleet

There are four overnight cruise ships in the Alaskan Dream Cruises ‘ fleet . Three of the four are named after islands in Alaska. 

The ships are made for expeditions, with a focus on nature, wildlife, and native cultures.

The Only Alaskan-Owned Overnight Cruise Company in Alaska

Alaskan Dream Cruises is Alaskan-owned and operated. In 1967, Bob and Betty Allen founded Allen Marine Company. Betty is a Tlingit native, and she and Bob grew up locally. Allen Marine Company still operates today as it did beginning in 1970, as a tour operator offering guests day trip wildlife experiences in Alaska. We enjoyed a day tour with Allen Marine Company in Ketchikan .

Over the decades, the market for overnight Alaskan cruises grew. So, in 2011, Alaska Dream Cruises was born. Though Bob and Betty have passed on, the company remains in the family in their children’s hands. 

The offices of Alaska Dream Cruises are in Sitka, overlooking the shipyard in Jamestown Harbor. The harbor is beautiful, and it’s where Bob and Betty started Alaska Dream Cruises (ADC). In fact, you can see their home in the distance overlooking the harbor. There is a Tlingit totem pole in front of the waterfront side of their home, across the bay from the ADC offices.

This state is the only area where Alaskan Dream Cruises sail. They are the Alaska cruise experts! They are also unique because their itineraries go to lesser-visited areas in southern Alaska.

Alaskan Dream Cruises Season

The cruise season with ADC is from May to September. This corresponds to peak season in Alaska when 95% of the cruises take place, and tourists visit by land or sea. This is also when there is more daylight, temperatures are warmest, and wildlife is active. Expect whales who migrate to Alaska for the season to be in residence and the annual wonder of salmon spawning to take place.

Life Aboard Alaskan Dream Cruises’ Ship, Baranof Dream

The ship’s public spaces are minimal. It’s a small cruise ship, after all.

Onboard, you’ll find modest cabins, an outdoor deck, an indoor bar and lounge area, and a restaurant. Coffee and tea are available all day, and kitchen-made snacks are put out twice in the afternoon between lunch and dinner, like dips and hot finger foods. If you’re noshy between those times, there are individual chip bags in the lounge for guests to eat.  

A naturalist is on board to answer any wildlife questions you may have and to guide excursions. Several maps and identification posters on display showcase the array of wildlife you may see. 

Board games and books are available for guest use in the lounge. If the weather is nice, the crew may put out some games, like cornhole. One afternoon, when we were lucky enough to enjoy some sunshine (our cruise was rather gray and gloomy the majority of the time, which is simply luck of the draw on any vacation), Captain Neil took out games for us to play. It was surreal to play cornhole in such stunning surroundings!

Speaking of the ship’s captain, one of the fun things about cruising Alaska on a small ship is that you can go to the bridge and chat with the officers nearly any time of day. We even sat there chatting with them with binoculars in hand one afternoon, trying to spot whales together.

Cabins on Baranof Dream

While the rooms are not the main event on the ship, it is a significant part of any cruise. On an Alaskan Dream Cruise, they’re mostly to sleep, wash up, use the toilet, and get ready for the day. Otherwise, most people can be found on deck enjoying the scenery or bonding with fellow passengers and the crew in the lounge or restaurant.

The rooms are rather small, so if you can swing the cost of a suite (which is the category called “Deluxe” and “Deluxe Suite” on ADC) we recommend doing so for a small yet significant amount of extra square footage. Deluxe Suites are 210 square feet compared to an A room, which is 109 square feet. Or an AA room, which is 116 square feet.

An “A” category room, like room 203 in the photo below, contained a small, soft bed next to some drawers against the wall, with one side of the two-person bed against the window.

No matter the category of room, the ceilings in Baranof Dream cabins aren’t more than six and a half feet high. Dan is 6’2” tall, and his head nearly touched the ceiling. If you’re 6’6” or taller, you likely won’t comfortably fit in the cabin, which has low ceilings and queen-size beds. (Tall people problems!) 

There are 25 cabins onboard Baranof Dream. The classes are as follows: A, AA, AAA, Deluxe, and Deluxe Suite.

There are No Locks on the Doors

It’s important to note that there aren’t locks on the doors of any of the rooms. This didn’t bother us because we were used to it from previous cruises, like our yacht cruise in Ecuador on Kontiki Wayra . However, if you’re not used to such a thing, it can be shocking! So we want to be sure we frankly share that with you.

Yet it’s also important to note that there is a level of mutual trust that you have with people onboard. They all paid to be on the same trip and also potentially have valuable things onboard, like their own binoculars and expensive camera gear.

Chances are, however, that you’ll have those things nearby or on you for most of the trip. Spotting wildlife, or taking photos of it, is part of the memory-making of a cruise in Alaska.

Stateroom Bathrooms

Though things vary slightly from ship to ship, Baranof Dream’s bathrooms are very small. A “show-let,” as the Assistant Hotel Manager described it to us while she showed us our room, is what the bathroom consists of. That’s a combined toilet and shower in one room, along with a small sink. The door to the bathroom area was a metal-framed frosted piece of plexiglass likened to a vintage shower door.

Shampoo and soaps were from Alaskan vendors, a detail we sincerely appreciated. 

Getting Around the Ship

The ship is small. You could walk the entire ship from top to bottom, bow to stern, in a short amount of time. But a small ship adventure is likely why you’re interested in Alaskan Dream Cruises anyway!

If you have mobility issues, it’s important to know that the stairs are a little steep between decks. Also keep in mind that the showers and bathrooms are very small, with little to no room to maneuver.

Food on Alaskan Dream Cruises

Breakfast is served in the restaurant around 7:30 am every day, thirty minutes after a wake-up call announcement on the loudspeaker. An early riser’s breakfast is set up at the bar beginning around 6:00 am.

Lunch was around noon, and you ordered what you wanted from a menu that changed daily.

Cookie time was around 4:00 pm each day, which was always a hit. That was followed by a time for hors d’oeuvres, which were served between 5:00 and 5:30 pm in the bar area. Some hors d’oeuvres we had were dip with crackers, bruschetta on crostinis, crab cakes, and stuffed mushrooms. 

Dinner was served at 6:30 pm, and we chose our evening’s selections off a menu that changed every day. Our meal was served with an optional small glass of red or white wine or a glass of beer, which is included in the cruise fare.

The restaurant has open seating, with tables for four people or more. On a small Alaskan Dream Cruises ship, you’ll be sure to make friends quickly, especially because you sit together during meals. 

Local purveyors provide the seafood.

The menu for each meal is posted publicly by the bar hours in advance so you can get excited about your next dining experience. 

The food is good — there were some hits and misses, as we find with most cruises.

Drinks on Alaskan Dream Cruises

Aside from the included glass of beer or wine with your dinner each day, drinks can be purchased from the bar. The exception is that onboard alcohol is included for guests of the Deluxe and Deluxe Suite cabins.

You are not permitted to bring your own alcohol onboard. 

Cocktails were $10.50 each, and beer was $7.50 per glass when we sailed. One of the nice things about the beer onboard is it’s from an Alaskan brewery in Sitka called Harbor Mountain Brewing Company. We loved that we were supporting a local business and getting a taste of a local brew when we ordered the Alaskan beer.

There was also local gin onboard from Port Chilkoot Distillery called 50 Fathoms. Because the Alaskan Dream Cruises ships are provisioning in Alaskan ports, you have to imagine they’re bringing local products onboard. And we loved that it showed in the bar options.

Other alcohol included Jameson, Tito’s, Bombay Sapphire, Woodford Reserve, and the like. 

One of the most fun things that happened during the cruise was when the ADC crew brought Alaskan ice onboard that they retrieved from the ocean. We got to have a drink with a glacial ice cube!

Wi-Fi and Cell Phone Service on Alaskan Dream Cruises

There is no wifi on the ship. Though Alaska is in the United States, cell service on the water is non-existent. Dan has AT&T, and I have Verizon, and we almost didn’t have cell service the entire time while cruising, except for two times while leaving the shore in some areas when Dan had a tiny bit of service until the boat sailed further out on the water.

You don’t need an international cell phone plan if you’re US-based if, perchance, you do get cell service. Because, remember, though Alaska feels like another world it’s an American State. Major cities, including Ketchikan, Juneau, and Sitka, have cell service, but smaller towns, like Wrangell and Kasaan, are harder to get strong signals in.

Plan to be unplugged and enjoy your surroundings, not being glued to a device. Consider it a bonus if you get service in a port and want to briefly connect with anyone back home during the trip.

In addition to day-to-day excursions in ports or cruising the area, there are noteworthy activities.

The crew will put kayaks and paddleboards in the water when the conditions — weather and geographic area — are right. We loved kayaking in a quiet bay one afternoon and seeing the small jellyfish in the water beneath us. We even spotted whales in the distance!

As we previously mentioned, there were games onboard, too: board games in the lounge, and if the weather was nice, a crew member put out cornhole and a huge Connect 4 game.

We really valued the presentations that Ken, our onboard naturalist, offered a few times throughout the cruise. One was about what winter is like in Alaska, and another was about the salmon in the state. Both were fascinating topics!

What to Pack for an Alaskan Dream Cruise

Water in the rooms is potable/drinkable, so we recommend bringing a reusable water bottle.

Though they provide binoculars per stateroom, we brought our own. If you don’t want to bring your own, use theirs. If you want a premium quality pair of binoculars, bring your own. The binoculars in the room were less magnification than ours and not high quality. 

Leave any formalwear at home; it’s unnecessary and a waste to take up space in your luggage with fancy attire for Alaska. You’ll want to pack layers, comfy socks, and waterproof or water-resistant gear in case it rains. Pack cozy shirts, both long sleeves and short. In hindsight, slippers to wear in the room would have been a great addition. Pack a scarf, gloves, and a hat as well. Sunscreen and sunglasses are necessary, too.

Though you’ll be cruising in Alaska during summer, the high temperatures are usually in the 60s. Sure, there are exceptions when they may have a heatwave. However, remember it’s also always colder and windier on the water than on land.

Lastly, as long as you included the request in your pre-cruise “order” with Alaskan Dream Cruises, they provide some rain gear, which I am gleefully modeling in the photo below! The rain pants and hooded raincoat were a welcomed addition to my outfit on rainy days.

Pre and Post Cruise Excursions

Alaskan Dream Cruises is unique in that it includes pre and post-cruise tours the day you embark on the cruise.

The day the cruise started, we checked into Alaskan Dream Cruises’ hospitality suite in Sitka around 12:30 pm. Then, about thirty minutes later, we were on our way to the waterfront Salmon Hatchery at the Sitka Sound Science Center for a tour with fellow passengers.

Afterward, we enjoyed the small aquarium at the science center before heading to the Alaska Raptor Center. (They even had a touch tank! Who doesn’t love a touch tank at an aquarium?)

Finally, we went to the Fortress of the Bear — an incredibly popular tourist spot in Sitka — as our last stop before we were driven to the cruise ship. We boarded Baranof Dream in Sitka around 4:30 pm. 

Additionally, ADC helped with transportation assistance in Ketchikan the day we disembarked. We were each given a ferry ticket to use to get from the shore to the airport, which is a 5-minute ferry ride across the water. Otherwise, you have to buy a ferry ticket, so this was a nice thing that the cruise line covered.

Alaskan Dream Cruises Review, All in All

Would we cruise with ADC again? Absolutely.

It helps to know what to expect, having been once, however, which we hope helps you as well. Knowing that the cruise ship isn’t luxurious in aesthetics despite the price point but in hindsight, discovering the luxury is in the crew-to-guest ratio of 1:2 and the incredible experiences ADC works hard to curate to give guests “true Alaska” sets the right expectation.

We’re so lucky to have learned about Alaska on our first trip there from Native Americans and native Alaskans, to have supported several locally-owned businesses along the way, and to have made fantastic memories with the crew and fellow inspiring guests.

Of any cruise we have ever been on, we still keep in touch with the most fellow passengers from that cruise than any other cruise. We truly cherish those friendships and the genuine connections we made thanks to Alaskan Dream Cruises bringing us all together.

Ready to Book Your Cruise or INquire?

Use our preferred travel advisors, bolds travel, because….

• They take away the hassle of travel planning : time spent on the phone with the cruise line could be time you spend doing other things.
• You don’t pay them a dime : their service is free (this is because they get paid by the cruise line or destination).
• Their experience: They have decades of experience and attention to detail.

It's one thing to be fun, but it's another thing to be first. Carnival Dream was at the forefront of a recent wave of amazingly innovative and fun Carnival ships. As the genesis of the Dream class, Carnival Dream set the direction for the ships that followed in her footsteps — first Carnival Magic and then Carnival Breeze. But back to Carnival Dream: the ship itself is a unique experience with the way-fun RedFrog Rum Bar ® and the very cool BlueIguana Tequila Bar ™ . Get your appetite ready, because you're gonna need it. Carnival Dream features two dual-level dining rooms, a gourmet steakhouse and dedicated sushi spot Bonsai Sushi ™ . It's also got a full menu of our latest and greatest casual spots for a bite: BlueIguana Cantina ™ , Pizzeria del Capitano, Guy's Burger Joint ™ and Guy's Pig & Anchor Smokehouse ™ . (That's Guy as in Guy Fieri, by the way — so you know the food's delish.) Carnival Dream also features the borderline-magical Alchemy Bar ® and Ocean Plaza, which combines tasty treats with perhaps even tastier entertainment. Entertainment options are all up and down the ship, and so is soaking-wet fun, from the heart-racing waterslide action at Carnival WaterWorks ™ to the soul-soothing Thalassotherapy pool at the Cloud 9 Spa ™ . Despite its name, Carnival Dream is definitely a reality. Can't believe it? Pinch yourself... and book your dream cruise today.

Interior upper/lower, cloud 9 spa ocean view (walkway view).

The best way to enjoy the relaxing, invigorating Cloud 9 Spa while on a cruise is in a spa stateroom, and this one fits the bill, providing comfy accommodations and convenient, priority access to treatments and services at the Cloud 9 Spa. (Note that rooms of this type have obstructed views.)

Deluxe Ocean View

On Carnival Dream, Deluxe Ocean View staterooms are a great choice for families who want to let the sun shine in as they sail. Rooms of this type feature great views, a full bathroom — plus a separate washroom — and while stateroom configurations vary, certain Deluxe Ocean View rooms have space to sleep up to five cruisers.

Deluxe Ocean View (Obstructed View)

On Carnival Dream, Deluxe Ocean View staterooms are great for families. These rooms feature a full bathroom — plus a separate washroom — and while stateroom configurations vary, certain Deluxe Ocean View rooms have space to sleep up to five. (Note that rooms of this type have obstructed views.)

Premium Vista Balcony

Premium Vista Balcony staterooms were designed to wrap around the aft corners of Carnival Dream, giving you a unique vantage point from which to enjoy luxuriously panoramic views of the sky and the sea — and yes, take in even more of that sunshine.

Cloud 9 Spa Balcony

Whether you're warming up for your spa appointment or winding down after your treatment, there's no better place to do it than on your Cloud 9 Spa Balcony. Breathing is important — take the ocean breeze in, then let it out — you're already getting the hang of the whole spa thing!

Aft-View Extended Balcony

Aft-View Extended Balcony staterooms feature a larger balcony for more lounge-around room, more kick-back space; not to even mention some of the best stern-side views you'll find anywhere. Get ready to relax as you gaze upon Carnival Dream's gentle wake from your spacious balcony.

Balcony (Large Balcony)

We designed Carnival Dream Balcony staterooms for maximum sea breeze and the most stunning views, and this stateroom features a balcony that's even wider than our standard balcony. Enjoy the extra outdoor space, along with all the standard Carnival stateroom amenities.

Balcony staterooms were designed for maximum sea breeze and the most stunning views, so look to a balcony if you're looking to cruise aboard Carnival Dream. Any time you're in your room, you're just steps away from your own personal outdoor oasis, featuring the sort of sea view you can also feel.

Cove Balcony

Love the sea? Carnival Dream's Cove Balcony staterooms are the best way to see the sea — these rooms get you close to the waterline, and feature balconies that let you make the most of your location. Enjoy things from a whole new perspective: one amazing up-close view of the wake and seafoam as the ship cruises along.

Grand Suite

A Grand Suite aboard Carnival Dream features even more space than the standard suite — plenty of room in your room! This stateroom is loaded for an unparalleled experience: VIP check-in, a huge balcony, and even a convenient dressing area with vanity.

Amenities exclusive to suites:

• Priority check-in and boarding
• Priority Main Dining Room time assignment
• Priority debarkation at homeport, and ports of call requiring a water shuttle or with arrival times later than 9:30 Am
• Two large bottles of water
• Pillow-top mattress

Cloud 9 Spa Suite

A Cloud 9 Spa Suite is the ultimate in both stateroom and spa accommodations. There's room for you and your things — with a large room and balcony — and a walk-in closet. The soothing in-room whirlpool tub will help you stay relaxed after your relaxing spa treatment. And like all suites, a Cloud 9 Spa Suite features VIP check-in, which lets you easily get right up to your amazing stateroom.

Plus, all suites include:

Ocean Suite

A Carnival Dream suite is the ultimate way to cruise. With more space for stretching out indoors, plus a large balcony for kicking back outdoors, try an Ocean Suite to experience private, luxurious relaxation. Ocean Suites also include VIP check-in, walk-in closet and bathroom with whirlpool tub.

Junior Suite (Obstructed View)

As you step into a Junior Suite aboard Carnival Dream, you can't help but feel that you're stepping into full-size luxury in a smaller package. Featuring a standard-size balcony, in a Carnival Dream Junior Suite you'll find everything else there is to love about a suite, including VIP check-in, a walk-in closet; and even a whirlpool tub for relaxing. (Note that rooms of this type have obstructed views.)

About Our Algarve Boat Tours

With us you’ll discover experiences and sensations that you’ll never forget.

20 years ago, Dream Wave was born from the dreams of two people with a passion and a vision for Algarve boat tours . From the very start, our mission has been to provide everyone access to the incredible beauty of Algarve, Portugal’s coastline.

We started out with only one boat, but as the years went by, thanks to our incredible guests, we grew a lot. Now we operate a fleet of 6 Insónias, 1 Dreamer, 2 Jetboats, 1 Parasailing boat and our Leãozinho vessel. We are supported by a team of more than 50 people that we consider family.

5-Star Boat Tours of Algarve

Absolutely amazing experience, would definitely recommend. The views you see from the boat are breathtaking.

Excellent trip (kids 3&6). Booking was simple. Crew were brilliant all round - informative and friendly. Ensured kids could see when with dolphins 🐬 The boat was fast, comfortable and not too big. Lucky with brilliant weather but it didn’t seem too busy on the water. Never felt mega crowded. Lucky to see dolphins and the caves were stunning. Kids were engaged and interested all the time. Brilliant experience. Thankyou to all the crew!! Recommended!

A wonderful trip, great value for money. Very informative and friendly. Would definitely recommend. Staff were very approachable and knowledgeable.

The cave and dolphin tour was amazing the tour guide was so informative and funny at the same time, all the staff was friendly and very helpful.

My daughter and I booked online yesterday for a 12 noon trip on Dreamer. The trip was well organised and the crew were friendly and knowledgeable. We saw no dolphins, but the caves and beaches they showed us were amazing. Thanks to all the team for a great excursion.

Best boat trip I've ever been on! Guides were great and all the views were absolutely fantastic. Boat was comfortable as well and very fast so not for the faint hearted but we loved it.
