According to a report published in The Straits Times, Resorts World Cruises is held by the shareholder, Two Trees Family Holdings, that lists three directors, including Mr KT Lim and his son. Mr KT Lim had also previously expressed an interest in purchasing Global Dream, the world’s biggest cruise ship which is still  under-construction, furthering suggestions that he’s looking to stick around in the industry.
