Cruise Packages from India
Sail from Mumbai, cruise the rivers of India or board an international ship from Singapore or Dubai. We compare ships, cabins and dates, and add hotels, flights and transfers so the whole holiday is in one plan.
Cruise Packages from India Overview
Cruise holidays are growing in India. Cruise ships now sail from Mumbai to Goa and on to Lakshadweep, and river cruises run along the Ganga and the Brahmaputra. Kerala also has houseboat and backwater cruises, which are slower and quieter. For a bigger holiday, many travellers join international cruises from Singapore, Dubai and Europe.
We help you pick a ship, a cabin type and a route that fits your budget and dates. Our plan can include flights to the departure port, a hotel night before boarding, cabin booking, airport and port transfers, and shore trips at each stop. Cruise lines set their own schedules, fares, check in times and document rules, so we confirm every detail with the operator and share it in writing.
From ₹28,000 per person twin sharing for a short coastal cruise, excluding flights to the port. Final price depends on ship, cabin and date

Cruise Travel Tips
- Book early. The best cabins and dates sell out first. Peak weekends and festivals fill early.
- Choose the right cabin. Inside cabins are cheaper, ocean view and balcony cost more. A mid ship low deck cabin is steadier.
- Check what is included. Ask about meals, drinks, Wi-Fi, tips and shore trips before you book.
- Arrive early at the port. Check in closes before the ship leaves. Keep your documents and bags ready.
- Pack for the sea. Carry light clothes, a jacket, swimwear, sun protection and tablets for sea sickness.
- Keep valuables safe. Use the cabin safe and carry only a copy of your passport on shore trips.
This is a likely plan. The tour manager may adjust it for weather, schedules or local rules.
