Pickleball is officially heading to the high seas, led by Performance Pickleball, Singapore’s leading force in the sport’s growth. From 3–6 February 2026, Performance Pickleball partners with Dream Cruises to launch Pickleball @ Sea — Asia's first world-class pickleball experience aboard the iconic cruise ship Genting Dream.

Sailing from Singapore on a three-night journey to Phuket, this landmark collaboration sees Performance Pickleball bringing its world class mobile pickleball courts, coaching expertise, and community-driven energy beyond land, merging travel, sport, and lifestyle into one unforgettable voyage at sea.

A New Frontier for Pickleball at Sea

At the forefront of pickleball’s evolution in Singapore, Performance Pickleball introduced several industry firsts — from indoor-sheltered facilities and smart, cushioned courts to the nation’s first professional mobile courts. These innovations reflect the club’s ongoing commitment to elevating the sport and supporting its growth locally.

This collaboration with Dream Cruises marks Performance Pickleball’s latest milestone: delivering Asia's first professionally curated pickleball experience at sea aboard a cruise ship.

What Guests Can Expect Onboard

During an exclusive three-night sailing from Singapore to Phuket, Performance Pickleball brings its energy and expertise onboard the Genting Dream, creating a one-of-a-kind pickleball experience at sea. The cruise ship transforms into a vibrant lifestyle space where sport, travel, and leisure come together effortlessly.

Guests can enjoy playing on professional mobile pickleball courts, join clinics led by world-class coaches, and explore a curated range of retail offerings designed for players of all levels. Whether trying pickleball for the first time or refining existing skills, each session offers a fresh way to move, connect, and unwind while at sea.

Surrounded by sweeping ocean views, fresh sea air, and world-class hospitality, pickleball onboard the Genting Dream becomes more than just a game — it’s a memorable lifestyle experience designed to be enjoyed both on and off the court.

Championing Active and Meaningful Travel

“Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, and we’re excited to bring that energy onboard the Genting Dream,” said Michael Goh, President of StarDream Cruises. “This partnership allows us to champion active and meaningful travel experiences, while inviting guests to learn, play, and discover the joy of pickleball in a truly unique setting.”

Sharing the same vision, Founders of Performance Pickleball and Umeus Group, Jeremy and Jeovanne, added, “From our very first court in Singapore to our smart and mobile facilities, we have always believed in creating extraordinary experiences for our community. Partnering with Dream Cruises allows us to take pickleball to the next frontier — literally, at sea.”

Riding the Momentum of a Global Sport

The launch of Pickleball @ Sea comes at a pivotal moment for the sport in the region. In 2026, Singapore will host the first-ever Epic World Championship, a four-day amateur tournament supported by the Singapore Tourism Board. Ahead of this global milestone, the Dream Cruises x Performance Pickleball sailing offers guests a unique opportunity to experience and learn the sport before the world’s spotlight turns to Asia.

More Than a Game: An EPIC Getaway at Sea

Beyond pickleball, the Genting Dream offers a vibrant mix of world-class entertainment and leisure. From waterslides and rope courses with sweeping ocean views to relaxing spa moments and Broadway-style shows, every day at sea is filled with excitement. Families can also enjoy glow bowling, VR attractions, arcades, kids’ clubs, and a wide range of activities designed for all ages.
