The Dream officially launched its 2026 homeport season in Shanghai earlier this week, departing on a cruise to South Korea.

The Dream, operated by Tianjin Oriental, is now based at Shanghais Wusongkou International Cruise Terminal for the season.

Its deployment for the spring and summer season adds a midsize vessel option to the port’s homeport roster.

The Dream is scheduled to operate approximately 30 sailings from Shanghai in the first half of 2026, focusing on short international voyages to South Korea.

For Tianjin Orient, it also marks the first time the company has had two ships in service, with the Dream sailing from Shanghai and the new Vision out of Tianjin.
