KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and GD World Cruises, a brand under ICE Holidays, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This partnership will offer more convenient and diverse travel options for visitors from Malaysia through GD World Cruises’ exclusive Fly-Cruise-Stay and selected cruise routes.
The MoU signing kickstarts the partnership between STB and GD World Cruises, promising to offer consumers attractive and competitive prices, with a joint intent to curate the perfect Fly-Cruise-Stay experience.
STB and GD World Cruises have launched a series of new travel products, including selected cruise itineraries departing from Singapore, seamless Fly-Cruise-Stay packages, and customised cruise experiences. This collaboration aims to cater to key audience segments such as Malaysian families, especially multigenerational families who seek to travel, bond and enjoy their holidays together. By combining flights, cruises, and Singapore’s rich variety of land experiences, the goal is to create a unique vacation for all families.
“We are pleased to partner ICE Holidays to profile how Singapore, with its convenience and world-class range of family activities, is the ideal destination to meet the holiday needs of Malaysian families. Singapore offers great value for both time and money, as families from Malaysia can maximise their precious moments together with peace of mind. We encourage all travellers to take advantage of the attractive promotions to plan their next cruise holiday and getaway to Singapore,” said Mr Terrence Voon, STB’s Executive Director of Southeast Asia.
ICE Holidays Managing Director, Mr. Mita Lim, also shared his excitement about the partnership, saying, “This collaboration marks a significant milestone for us at ICE Holidays. By joining forces with STB and GD World Cruises, we can now offer our customers a truly unique and unforgettable travel experience. The Fly-Cruise-Stay packages perfectly cater to the needs of multigenerational families, providing them with the convenience, comfort, and rich experiences that modern travellers seek. We look forward to bringing these exclusive offerings to the Malaysian market.”
Beyond just offering a single travel product, this collaboration involves curated packages for family travelers. They include cruise cabins, flight tickets, hotel accommodation and transfer services in Singapore, significantly enhancing the comfort and convenience of holiday trips. Through this strategic partnership, STB and GD World Cruises will further solidify Singapore’s position as the leading destination for multigenerational family travel and enhance GD World Cruises’ ability to meet market demands.
