Dream Cruises, an Asian luxury cruise line, has announced that guests boarding its inaugural cruise ship Genting Dream will be able to savor the Scotch whisky brand Johnnie Walker.

When visitors step into Johnnie Walker House on Genting Dream, they will be led to an environment complete with a tasting bar where whiskeys from the Johnnie Walker Super Deluxe portfolio are available.

Johnnie Walker House showcases the brand's whiskey culture and has locations in Beijing, Seoul, Chengdu, Taipei, Mumbai, Johannesburg, Singapore, Auckland, Brisbane, Paris, Amsterdam and Atlanta.

Bottles may be purchased duty-free and personally engraved at the house on the ship. In addition, special cocktails and Johnnie Walker whiskey and food pairing menus will be offered on the Genting Dream.

Genting Dream, currently undergoing fit-out at shipbuilders in Germany, will debut from her home port of Guangzhou (Nansha) in November this year.

"We are delighted that Genting Dream will feature the world's very first Johnnie Walker House at sea," says Thatcher Brown, president of Dream Cruises.

"Whisky appreciation in Asia is significant and growing, and guests on Genting Dream will be able to learn more about the art of producing the very finest Scotch whiskies," Brown adds.

Johnnie Walker House is one of the many diverse food and beverage options that will be available on board.

Guests will enjoy discovering an eclectic array of over 35 restaurants and bars. They will find Southeast Asian restaurant Blue Lagoon, a menu offering Japanese classics at Umi Uma, and a sophisticated afternoon high tea at Palm Court. Alternatively, the menu at Crystal Life Cuisine has been put together with healthy eating in mind. For something different, fine-dining Chinese restaurant Silk Road turns into a cabaret and burlesque show late in the evening.
