Asia’s first pickleball cruise is serving up a sea change for active holidays this season. Hop onboard a cruise ship from Singapore to Phuket this February to enjoy one of the world’s fastest growing sports on the open sea—for the first time ever in Asia. Instead of squeezing in court time before or after work, travellers get to play against the backdrop of open water and stunning sunsets on a three-day floating playground. Genting Dream’s 3-night cruise runs from February 3 to 6, 2026, and is designed for both curious beginners and seasoned players. Here’s why this unique experience is unmissable in February 2026.
Why is this 3-day pickleball cruise a game-changer?
Dream Cruises has partnered with Performance Pickleball to launch this pickleball clinic at sea. The experience features mobile courts set up right on the deck, so matches flow naturally between buffet breakfasts, pool dips, and sunset sessions. Whether you want to sign up for a casual clinic, learn tips from qualified coaches, or show off your skills to other pickleball enthusiasts…this is the perfect place to do it. Excitingly, there are spa sessions and late night dining offered on the courts too. Additionally, passengers can shop at curated retail spaces featuring paddles, balls, and trendy apparel.
Meanwhile, off the court the cruise still feels like a thrilling resort holiday at sea. Expect vibrant waterslides, rope and obstacle courses, virtual reality attractions, arcades, glow-in-the-dark bowling, Broadway shows, and plenty of more family entertainment. Plus, there are more than 35 dining spots to choose from on the ship.
Prices start from $326 per person for the playful 3D2N itinerary—making it a relatively accessible way to try niche sports on a cruise and visit Thailand. It takes off from Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore and ends at Phuket Deep Sea Port. Book here. Gonna miss the February sail? There may be other 2026 offers with pickleball included to both Malaysia and Thailand. Certainly, a top activity for wellness-focused travellers and social sport lovers.
