Cruise co plans visits by 8 luxury ships in India

“Last year, our dedicated India sailings, offering a 5-7 night cruise from Mumbai to Abu Dhabi and back, received an overwhelming response. We are planning to have 8 luxury sailings which will visit Indian ports in 2018-2019,” Tirun Travel Marketing CEO Ratna Chadha said here. 

Tirun Travel Marketing represents Royal Caribbean Cruises’ three brands – Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises and Azamara Club Cruises in India. Further, Chadha said Azamara Club Cruises sailings will also visit various ports like Kochi, Mumbai and Porbandar. Azamara will also utilise Chennai and Mumbai as frequent embarkation ports, she added. 

“We plan to offer more such cruises this year as well. Broadly speaking, we hope to have as many as 20 itineraries for Celebrity Cruises visiting Indian ports by 2020,” she added. Celebrity Cruises’ 12 ships offer luxury vacations visiting all seven continents. Talking about preference, she said the most travelled destination by Indians in Asia was Singapore, largely due to its proximity to the sub-continent.
