The cruise liner is offering two-, five-, and seven-day tours of Vietnam.
It will make more than 10 trips to ports in the southern province of Ba Ria - Vung Tau, the central cities of Da Nang and Nha Trang, and the northern city of Ha Long between November and March next year.
Besides Vietnam, it will also bring passengers from Malaysia and Singapore to China.
Phan Xuan Anh, chairman of Viet Excursions, said Dream Cruises is a new cruise liner whose passengers are mainly Chinese-speaking high income earners.
The new ship is almost finished and will be launched in October.
Viet Excursions regularly serves tourists coming aboard American and European cruise lines.
Anh said the number of tourists has risen by 10 per cent this year.
