Dream Cruises is teaming up with Performance Pickleball, a concept by Umeus Group and also Singapore’s #1 Pickleball Club, to launch an exclusive Pickleball clinic at sea onboard the cruise ship Genting Dream from 3 – 6 February 2026.
As Singapore’s leading force in the growth of pickleball, Performance Pickleball is the country’s first indoor-sheltered club, the first to introduce smart and cushioned courts, and the pioneer of Singapore’s first mobile professional courts. The club has not only led the way but also redefined how and where the sport is played, spearheading landmark city activations and setting the benchmark for courts, coaching, community and innovation. This collaboration with Dream Cruises marks its latest milestone: the first-ever pickleball-at-sea experience.
Departing from Singapore on a 3 Night Cruise to Phuket, this first-ever Dream Cruises x Performance Pickleball collaboration will feature Performance Pickleball’s professional mobile court, celebrated introductory clinics by Performance Pickleball’s highly trained coaches, and a curated range of retail offerings for players of all levels, bringing an unparalleled pickleball experience and an EPIC sporting buzz to Asia’s favourite cruise ship — all while surrounded by stunning ocean views and world-class entertainment.
“Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, and we are excited to bring that energy onto Genting Dream. This partnership between Dream Cruises and Performance Pickleball allows us to champion active, meaningful travel experiences while showcasing our Pickleball facilities at sea. Whether you are a first-timer or a seasoned player, this sailing invites guests to learn, play and discover the joy of Pickleball in a truly unique setting — surrounded by ocean views, world-class entertainment and warm hospitality,” said Michael Goh, President, StarDream Cruises.
“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, Umeus Group and Performance Pickleball. “Partnering with Dream Cruises allows us to take the sport to the next frontier — literally at sea — and share the joy of pickleball with a new audience in an unforgettable setting,”
In 2026, Singapore will host the first-ever Epic World Championship (30 April – 4 May), a landmark four-day tournament for amateur players supported by the Singapore Tourism Board. Ahead of this milestone event, the debut Dream Cruises x Performance Pickleball sailing offers guests an unparalleled chance to sharpen their game before the global spotlight turns to the region.
Building on this momentum and a shared passion for movement and connection, the special 3 Night sailing creates a highly sought-after opportunity to experience pickleball through Performance Pickleball’s recognised coaches, industry-leading programmes and curated range of retail offerings. Beyond learning the game, this experience immerses guests in the vibrant Pickleball community — offering memorable moments both on and off the court throughout the three-night voyage.
Participants may sign up at the ‘Box Office Counter’ on Deck 6 to join and it’s FREE. Limited slots available — first come, first served.
