Catherine Cruise Halong Bay – Top Halal-Certified Luxury Cruise with Muslim Prayer Room & Onboard Elevator
Catherine Cruise received its official Halal Food Certificate — issued by Halal Vietnam (HVN) — on 18 February 2025, making it one of only three Halong Bay ships — alongside Mon Chéri Cruises and Diana Cruise — currently holding a verified Halal certification. Every stage of food handling on board, from sourcing to storage and service, follows OIC/SMIIC Halal standards, and both onboard restaurants, Harmonia and Ambrosia, serve Halal Food menus.
For travelers searching for a genuine Halong Bay Halal Certificate cruise, Catherine Cruise Halong Bay delivers exactly that: official HVN certification, a dedicated Prayer Room for Muslim Travelers, and an onboard elevator, not just a certificate on the wall.
Beyond the kitchen, Catherine Cruise features a dedicated Prayer Room for Muslim Travelers — a quiet, separate space furnished with prayer mats and a Qibla-oriented wall, distinct from the ship’s entertainment areas. As a Halong Bay cruise with an elevator connecting every deck, Catherine Cruise is also built to welcome Muslim families, elderly guests, and travelers with limited mobility with genuine comfort.
Facilities & Deck Plan
Catherine Cruise Halong Bay spans 90 meters in length across 5 decks, carrying up to 117 guests in 39 cabins connected by an onboard elevator that makes every deck easily accessible. Beyond the cabins, the ship carries a full set of leisure facilities, from a sea-view gym to a dedicated kids’ playground for younger guests.
Karaoke Rooms
Catherine Cruise Halong Bay has two fully soundproofed karaoke rooms, each 40m², giving guests a private space to sing with family or friends without disturbing other passengers.
Himalayan Salt Sauna
The onboard Himalayan salt sauna uses natural salt rock therapy to help guests unwind, ease circulation, and de-stress after a day of sightseeing.
Spa & Massage Rooms
Aboard Catherine Cruise Halong Bay, two spa rooms totalling 55m² serve both men and women, offering massage and wellness treatments to international standards in a calm, private setting.
Swimming Pool & Jacuzzi
An open-air four-season infinity pool with jacuzzi lets guests swim year-round while taking in panoramic views of Halong Bay, with a dedicated beverage service on hand for pool parties.
Sundeck
The sundeck brings together a mini-golf course, sun loungers, and a rooftop bar for open-air relaxation, plus an indoor lounge bar and a dedicated kids’ play area suited to both couples and families.
