World Dream, one of the services from Genting Cruise Lines’ Dream Cruises brand, follows the halal tourism guidelines set out by the Standards and Metrology Institute for the Islamic Countries (SMIIC). It is certified by Singapore-based United World Halal Development.
The cruise is also officially rated by halal travel authority Crescent Rating.
The Singapore-based Muslim-friendly travel authority told Salaam Gateway this is the first time it is rating a cruise service.

Seven is the highest rating, said Fazal.
