Genting Dream pickleball action is set to headline a three-night cruise in early February. Dream Cruises will run an onboard clinic from February 3–6, 2026, on a sailing from Singapore to Phuket.
The plan is simple: step onboard, step onto a court, and play while the ocean rolls by. The program brings Performance Pickleball’s professional mobile court to the ship, paired with introductory coaching sessions and onboard retail offerings during the voyage.
Dream Cruises has described the activation as the “first-ever pickleball-at-sea experience.”
How Guests Join And What To Expect Onboard
Sign-ups will happen onboard at the Box Office Counter on Deck 6. Participation is described as complimentary, with limited slots available.
Performance Pickleball is operated by Umeus Group, and cruise-trade coverage describes it as a leading pickleball facility in Singapore.
The organizers have highlighted Performance Pickleball’s mix of mobile and smart court concepts, including cushioned surfaces designed for repeat play. Those portable courts are central to making pickleball viable on a cruise deck.
StarDream Cruises President Michael Goh framed the program as a natural fit for active holidays at sea.
“Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, and we’re excited to bring that energy onto Genting Dream,” said Michael Goh, President, StarDream Cruises.
Performance Pickleball founders Jeremy and Jeovanne said the partnership extends their community-first approach into a new venue.
“From our very first court in Singapore to our smart and mobile facilities, Performance Pickleball has always been about breaking boundaries and creating extraordinary experiences for our community,” said Jeremy and Jeovanne, founders of Umeus Group and Performance Pickleball.

A Timely Warm-Up Before Singapore’s EPIC World Championship
The cruise sits on the calendar as Singapore gears up for the EPIC World Championship later in 2026. EPIC lists its Singapore event dates as April 30–May 3, 2026 on its official channels and event information.
That timing gives the Genting Dream clinic a clear storyline. Beginners get a friendly launch pad, while regular players get structured reps before Singapore’s marquee amateur week.
Onboard, pickleball will run alongside Genting Dream’s broader entertainment and dining mix. Cruise coverage points to the ship’s usual spread of shows, leisure options, and a large range of food venues.
What’s next?
The immediate move for interested guests is to register early onboard at Deck 6’s Box Office Counter, since slots are limited.
Beyond this sailing, the industry will be watching whether pickleball-at-sea becomes a repeat feature - especially if demand is strong on Genting Dream’s Singapore–Phuket run.
