Please feel free to post your question and answer, as any discussion could improve every body knowledge.
My first opinion is: Indonesia as other countries are, is far from Makkah (the Holly land). To perform Hajj & 'Umroh, we need transportation. With airline we could arrive in several hours.
With marine/ocean line, would take several days, and we can use those days as a Ta'lim (learning) period as our preparation in knowledge.

Perhaps my topic doesn't get any reply because of our brothers and sisters don't have time to discuss. At the mean time I get reply by e-mail and I try to put it here while waiting untill some one has time to reply:

Thank you for your interesting e-mail.
I am sure your idea is a very good one.
I have a number of questions:
1 Would the liner only be used for a very short period each year. To be financially viable it needs to work more than that. The costs of a liner are high over a year.
2 Who do you think will own the liner? There are a number of liners available on the market. Would it be owned in Indonesia? Are there entrepreneurs who would finance this? Costs of crew and safety equipment etc are high.
3 Is there a business plan. It should be possible to find the costs of a liner and hence the costs per passenger.
4 Is the size right. A liner, even converted might take 2000 people, You would need ten liners. It would take a week to get there and back.
In summary I think it could be a great idea but a few questions like this need to be worked out
I hope this helps you
Kindest Regards

Assalamu'alaykum,
Thanks a lot brother, you're right, perhaps that's why I get no answer yet.
Firstly, I was in doubt where should I post about MarineLiner for Hajj &'Umroh.
After sight seeing all the topics, I decided to post in the "Events in your area & links".
Your sugestion is so meaning full to me.
Meet you there.
