Blue Dream Cruises: Salaries Unpaid, Offices Closed, Ships for Sale

Blue Dream is facing mounting legal and operational problems, with lawsuits filed over unpaid wages, offices closed and its two cruise ships reportedly slated for sale, according to reports in China.

The situation has escalated rapidly since the company suspended all cruise operations in late December 2025.

According to court filings, the cruise operator owes more than RMB 10 million ($1.45 million) in unpaid salaries to approximately 200 former shore-based staff and crew members.

Affected employees have filed labor arbitration claims and subsequent lawsuits in four separate batches at the Shanghai Hongkou District People’s Court.
