There is a moment at sea when the noise of everyday life fades, time slows down, and
attention shifts to what truly matters. StarDream Cruises captures this idea through its
latest brand storytelling, reflecting a more experience-led way of cruising, one that
prioritizes ease, connection, and presence over packed itineraries.

As the brand continues to evolve in the Indian market, StarDream Cruises is leaning
into film-led storytelling to express what truly defines life on board. Looking forward to
2026, ‘Disconnect to Reconnect’ becomes the central theme guiding its
communication, with ‘Perfect Moments’ as the brand’s defining tagline. Together, they
reflect the belief that when the details are taken care of, travel creates space for
people to reconnect with experiences, relationships, and time well spent. This thinking
comes to life through two brand films, A World Between S.E.A & SKY and A Voyage
Called India – A Heart That Sails With Us.

The master-brand film, A World Between S.E.A & SKY, shot aboard Genting Dream,
explores the rhythm of life on board. It brings together individuals, couples, families,
friends, groups, and corporate travellers, all moving through the same space at their
own pace. From flavour-led culinary journeys and high-energy entertainment to
elegant accommodation, reassuring safety, and attentive service, the film highlights
how every element of the cruise experience is designed to work seamlessly, allowing
guests to simply be present.

Complementing this is A Voyage Called India – A Heart That Sails With Us, a celebratory
short film that reflects how deeply Indian culture is woven into the StarDream Cruises
experience. Featuring families and groups from different regions and linguistic
backgrounds: Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Kannada, and Bengali, the film mirrors the
diversity of India itself. From vegetarian, non-vegetarian, and Jain dining options to
shared habits and conversations on board, it shows how familiarity and inclusion shape
the cruising experience for Indian travellers. The film closes on a simple idea: while
languages and customs may differ, the feeling of belonging remains shared.

Extending this storytelling, A Voyage Called India – A Heart That Sails With Us will also
be screened in cinemas during the Republic Day period, alongside Border 2. Presented
across 9 states, 2 Union Territories, 23 cities, and 63 screens from 23 to 29 January 2026,
the cinema screening allows the story to be experienced collectively, in a setting where
themes of identity, unity, and shared moments naturally resonate.

Commenting on the films, Naresh Rawal, Senior Vice President – Sales & Marketing, StarDream Cruises, said, “Both these films reflect how we think about the StarDream
Cruises experience today. A World Between S.E.A & SKY captures the rhythm of life on
board, while A Voyage Called India – A Heart That Sails With Us brings focus to how
Indian travellers experience that journey. From food preferences and familiar comforts
to the way families, friends, and groups come together, the films show how we’ve
adapted cruising to feel intuitive and inclusive for Indian guests.”

With sailings from key Asian ports: Genting Dream from Singapore, Star Voyager from
Hong Kong, and Star Navigator from Taiwan, along with short 2-night and 3-night
itineraries, StarDream Cruises continues to offer Indian travellers an easy and culturally
familiar way to experience cruising.

Together, the two films reflect StarDream Cruises’ belief that when travel takes care of
the details, guests are free to disconnect from the everyday and reconnect with
moments that feel unforced, meaningful, and lasting.
