StarDream Cruises Launches New Brand Films For Indian Travellers

The Brand Films Reflect How Cruising Is Being Adapted To Feel Familiar For Indian Guests

StarDream Cruises’ brand films, A World Between S.E.A & SKY and A Voyage Called India – A Heart That Sails With Us, anchor the brand’s latest storytelling approach, highlighting an experience-led way of cruising. The films focus on moments at sea where daily noise fades, time slows, and attention shifts to what matters most.

As StarDream Cruises builds its presence in the Indian market, film-led narratives shape its communication strategy for 2026. The theme ‘Disconnect to Reconnect’, paired with the tagline ‘Perfect Moments’, reflects the idea that when travel details are handled, guests can reconnect with experiences, relationships, and time spent on board.

The master-brand film, A World Between S.E.A & SKY, shot aboard Genting Dream, explores the rhythm of life on board. It brings together individuals, couples, families, friends, groups, and corporate travellers, all moving through the same space at their own pace. From culinary journeys and entertainment to accommodation, safety, and service, the film highlights how every element of the cruise experience is designed to work.

Complementing this is A Voyage Called India - A Heart That Sails With Us, a celebratory short film that reflects how deeply Indian culture is woven into the StarDream Cruises experience. Featuring families and groups from different regions and linguistic backgrounds: Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Kannada, and Bengali, the film mirrors the diversity of India itself. From vegetarian, non-vegetarian, and Jain dining options to shared habits and conversations on board, it shows how familiarity and inclusion shape the cruising experience for Indian travellers. The film closes on a simple idea: while languages and customs may differ, the feeling of belonging remains shared.

Extending this storytelling, A Voyage Called India - A Heart That Sails With Us will also be screened in cinemas during the Republic Day period, alongside Border 2. Presented across nine states, two Union Territories, 23 cities, and 63 screens from 23 to 29 January 2026, the cinema screening allows the story to be experienced collectively, in a setting where themes of identity, unity, and shared moments naturally resonate.

Commenting on the films, Naresh Rawal, Senior Vice President - Sales & Marketing, StarDream Cruises, said, “Both these films reflect how we think about the StarDream Cruises experience today. A World Between S.E.A & SKY captures the rhythm of life on board, while A Voyage Called India - A Heart That Sails With Us brings focus to how Indian travellers experience that journey. From food preferences and familiar comforts to the way families, friends, and groups come together, the films show how we’ve adapted cruising to feel intuitive and inclusive for Indian guests.”

With sailings from key Asian ports: Genting Dream from Singapore, Star Voyager from Hong Kong, and Star Navigator from Taiwan, along with short two-night and three-night itineraries, StarDream Cruises continues to offer Indian travellers an easy and culturally familiar way to experience cruising.
