So , what makes it a go-to cruise for Muslims ?

The Muslim-friendly amenities provided on the ship include prayer facilities completed with Quran and women-only services . The cruise ship also has Ramadhan services and serves halal-certified meats . It has been the go-to cruise liner for Muslims in the Asia Pacific for the past few years because of its halal-certified kitchen .

Referring to an article released by Halal- Zilla , do expect a wide variety of meals to choose from . The Lido , one of World Dream ’ s most popular restaurants , dedicates a halal buffet section onboard for Muslim guests to revel in all the specially catered breakfast , lunch , and dinner .

For another option , Muslim guests may

also go for halal dines at the Dream Dining Room Lower ( Deck 7 ) or even request halal room service . On top of this , the liner will also be providing Ramadhan-based services during the fasting month .

Suhoor meals will be delivered to rooms , and iftar meals will be prepared for those who are fasting . Tarawih services will also be held at night . This will allow the Muslim guests to carry out their Ramadhan practices comfortably . How beautiful is that ?

Dream Cruises has taken special considerations to curate women-only services to meet female Muslim ( Muslimah ) needs , namely ; healthcare services , spa and therapy services , and swimming pools and sports centres .
