"Ageless Dreamers" Program

The program offers year-round activities that encourage mature cruisers to push their boundaries and unleash their inner potentials, such as Dream Cruises’ first Tai Chi and Shaolin Wushu Academy at Sea, outdoor sports challenges, talent shows, nutrition workshops and more. To complement their journeys at sea, special privileges including complimentary beverages and desserts, spa treatment and retail discounts are available exclusively to Ageless Dreamers.

 

Reap the health benefits of Tai Chi from Jack Ma’s Shi Fu

The martial art of Tai Chi has recently become a global phenomenon with Hollywood productions on Tai Chi masters (Shi Fu) and endorsements by celebrities, among which includes Chinese business mogul Jack Ma. Tai Chi dates back to the 12th century and is an iconic embodiment of Chinese philosophy Yin and Yang – the ultimate balance of tangible dualities. The practice of Tai Chi requires self-discipline and total concentration, which promote a healthy state of body and mind.

 

At Dream Cruises’ first-ever Tai Chi Academy at Sea on World Dream, Ageless Dreamers will learn the basics of Tai Chi from professional instructors of Wang Xian Institute of Researching The Arts of Tai Chi, founded by Grandmaster Wang, who also coached e-Commerce tycoon Jack Ma and curated the “Tai Chi Wellness 8” regime, which was originally customized for the staff of Alibaba Group. The Wang Xian Institute will be conducting the Tai Chi Academy for every 5 night cruise and the Hong Kong Masters will be conducting the Tai Chi sessions for every weekend cruise.

 

For those who are already familiar with Tai Chi, they may master the arts of harmony and balance through Tai Chi class for couples and families, where participants bond with their loved ones through partner exercises such as tuishou (“pushing hands”) and sanshou (“Chinese boxing”).

 

In addition, Ageless Dreamers on select sailings will have the opportunity to learn from the masters of Shaolin Wushu, one of the world’s most ancient martial art styles and best known for its origin of the Shaolin temples in China.  While Tai Chi is about fluid and gentle movements, Shaolin Wushu features a set of 18 basic movements that require high stamina and bursts of energy. At the Shaolin Academy at Sea, participants will be trained by the professionals from Hong Kong Shaolin Wushu Culture Centre to push their limbs and joints to their full potentials through kicks, bends, stances and strikes.

Located on Deck 16 of World Dream, the Green Park is an outdoor game zone featuring a whopping 13 interactive games, including the popular “Tai Chi Racquet” – also known as Rouliqiu or Rhythm Ball, this new sport has swept nations worldwide as it combines the fun of badminton and the essence of Tai Chi and Qi Gong, requiring players to perform controlled and fluid movements while keeping the ball on the racquets.
