Luna Maya Answers the Public's Curiosity About Eid Prayer on a Ship Without a Mosque

For Luna, this decision was not made without consideration. The choice was made because there is a very rare momentum that cannot be negotiated. The boat she has long coveted for a trip with her friends is only available on the dates of Eid.

"If I'm on the Eid boat, there won't be a mosque on the boat, right?" said Luna Maya when met in the Senayan area, Central Jakarta, Wednesday (1/4/2026).

"Coincidentally, I had been planning to go to Raja Ampat for a long time. And the boat that I want, meaning with friends, is only available on that date," Luna continued.

In addition, natural factors also play a major role. April is the end of the best season to explore Raja Ampat before the waves become too fierce. This is her last chance this year to enjoy that hidden paradise in ideal conditions.

"And the end of the Raja Ampat season is approaching. Because in April, it is no longer the season for Raja Ampat. Why is it not the season? The waves are big, because it has moved to Labuan Bajo," he said.

Although there are no mosque domes or prayer rugs on the vast field, the solemnity of worship can still be felt. Praying on the deck of a ship, with the view of the karst island cluster of Raja Ampat and the sound of crashing waves, actually provides a unique and unforgettable spiritual experience.

This experience aligns with Luna Maya's previous view that the essence of Eid is a personal relationship with God, which is not bound by luxury or location. Performing worship amidst the grandeur of His creation can actually be a more solemn and touching moment.

Thus, it is answered that when faced with a difficult choice, Luna Maya still took that rare opportunity while continuing to fulfill her obligations as a Muslim in the best way possible, in one of the most beautiful places in the world.
