Hallelujah has a large diving deck and platform, with plenty of storage space for ease and convenience.

Sun worshippers can head upstairs to the huge sun deck which spans the length of the liveaboard and is equipped with chairs and loungers. This is also a great place to enjoy panoramic views of the beautiful tropical islands and watch the sun set over the turquoise sea.
All the air-conditioned guest cabins are spacious and have private en-suite bathrooms with hot water showers. They have large windows which allow guests to enjoy the stunning scenery from the comfort of their cabins as well as doors that open on to the outside of the yacht for a cooling breeze. The whole vessel is stylishly furnished with wood panelling throughout the interior. MV Hallelujah is a superb choice for top quality accommodation and great diving made easy while cruising on this Similan liveaboard.
