MS Dreamward was a cruise ship owned and operated by Star Cruises.[9][10] She was built in 1992 by the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in St. Nazaire, France as MS Dreamward for traffic with Norwegian Cruise Line. In 1998 she was lengthened at Lloyd Werft in Bremerhaven, Germany and renamed as Norwegian Dream.[1] In late 2012, she was transferred to the fleet of Star Cruises and renamed SuperStar Gemini.
