The Biggest Opportunity for our Travel Industry

For the Indian Travel Industry, the next big opportunity is right here at home. Our country is a treasure trove of unexplored gems that are sure to excite every kind of traveler, making domestic tourism a gold mine of possibilities. Particularly, Domestic Cruise Tourism offers the biggest scope for the Indian travel industry. As a key figure of the Indian Cruise Industry, Cordelia Cruises promises to be a major contributor to the revival of our Domestic Tourism. In lieu of the pandemic, we are witnessing global travel restrictions and with it, changing consumer preferences, which means now is the perfect time to tap into domestic tourism.

Government Support

            Our Government has also spotted the opportunity within the domestic cruise industry and has taken steps to propel it forward in major ways. In an effort to promote cruise tourism, the Ministry of Shipping has reduced port charges. The reduction of port tariffs will not only make domestic cruising more affordable to Indians, but will also attract International cruise companies in terms of home-porting ships in India for itineraries sailing to neighboring countries via Indian ports. Additionally, fuel prices have dropped drastically and we hope they will continue to remain at this level. Travel agencies are also seeing higher commissions through cruise booking and itinerary planning, which makes the best deals & offers available to Indian travelers.

Exciting new destinations

            Indian travelers are always looking to explore new destinations, which is why we think domestic cruising would be a huge hit with the Indian populace. We are geographically blessed with a coastline that is both expansive and breathtaking, making India a hotspot for the cruise market. Indian coastlines are nothing short of a tropical paradise, and our nation boasts some of the most beautiful islands of the world. With a large chunk of Indian travelers frequenting weekend getaways, our repository of pristine beaches proposes fabulous new options for Indian tourists. We are currently in talks with the government of Gujarat to create a new option that may very well blow you away! So stay tuned for that.

            Indian’s usually tend to travel with extensive family and large groups, which is why tourists are always on the lookout for family friendly vacations in which every member of the family enjoys themselves. Cruising through the gorgeous seas of India is the perfect choice for such travelers. With the vast range of facilities, amenities, entertainment and activities that Cordelia Cruises offers, everyone is bound to have a great time, right from Kids to Grandparents.

Promising Job opportunities

            With the consistent growth of the Indian cruise industry, we are looking at the chance to create a million jobs within the country. Right from staff on the ship, including the crew, service staff and entertainers, to marketing and travel agents on shore, the possibilities for new and exciting employment options are tremendous.

Special Occasions & Events

            Whether you are looking to host a corporate retreat or conduct board meetings, Cordelia Cruises is the perfect choice for you to combine business with leisure. By virtue of being in the middle of the ocean, the lack of cellular network is an added bonus in terms of holding audience attention. Aside from corporate events, a cruise holiday is an ideal way to celebrate all of life’s precious moments. Looking for a romantic getaway for your honeymoon? Look no further because Cruises offers itineraries that feature some of the most beautiful beach destinations in India. What’s more, if you are looking to ditch the ordinary wedding plans for something special, Cordelia Cruises offers all the making of an absolute dream wedding, from celebrations onboard as well as at destinations.

            Every year in India, there are over 200 million holidays, out of which 5 million can fill 5 Cordelia Ships over the course of 5 years.  With numbers like that, it seems more than apparent that a domestic cruise is the most exciting way to experience our country. Our new and improved online platform will connect with consumers and agencies alike, making a fun-filled vacation all the more accessible. What’s more, we provide a favorable platform for potentially great performers. Our onboard Marqee theatre can house more than 700 audiences, and our tie up with Zee TV to broadcast all of our events brings you that much closer to the spotlight.
