Genting Hong Kong has raised $900m through the sale and leaseback transaction of one of its largest cruiseships with a consortium of four Chinese leasing companies.

The 150,000-gt Genting Dream (built 2016), a vessel that is operated under the Dream Cruises brand, has been acquired by special purpose vehicles indirectly but wholly-owned by the Bank of Communications Financial Leasing, CMB Financial Leasing, CCB Financial Leasing Corporation and China Development Bank Financial Leasing.
