What Makes Diana Cruise Different

Halal-certified and new

Diana Cruise is the most recently certified of the halal-certified ships in the bay; its kitchen follows OIC/SMIIC standards under certificate HVN-OIC/SMIIC-2025-230.

Two elevators for easy access

Two lifts serve Decks 1 to 5, the most of any halal-certified ship we sell, which helps elderly guests and families with strollers.

Big enough for groups

With 56 suites and room for 168 guests, a family reunion or company group can travel on one ship.

Who Diana Cruise Is Best For

Book it if you are

  • A Muslim family or group who needs certified halal food
  • Travelling with elderly relatives who need an elevator
  • Organising a group trip or event on the bay

Catherine Cruise Halong Bay 39 Halal, prayer room Mid-range
Lyra Grandeur Lan Ha Bay 33 Halal superyacht Premium
Mon Chéri Halong–Lan Ha 18 First halal-certified ship Value

Our view: Diana Cruise is the newest halal-certified ship and the best for large groups. Choose Catherine for the classic caves or Mon Chéri for a lower price.

Not to be confused with

Venus Cruise is a sister ship from the same group; older TripAdvisor reviews on Diana Cruise’s listing may refer to an earlier ship name.
