So, when we got to know the ship was anchored at Green Gate, Indira Dock only for a few hours and it is the only time it’s coming to Mumbai, we had to unpack our best cameras to get you this visual treat. Check it out!
Don’t lose heart. Sanjay Bhatia, Chief of Mumbai Port trust has announced that 59 cruise ships will be coming this year and more than 100 ships are expected next year. Minister of Port, Nitin Gadkari confirmed the same and also added that the government plans to spend 200 crs to create passenger terminals on all the ports and assures that they will all be more beautiful than Dubai and Singapore. The ambition is to make Mumbai amongst the top 5 destinations for cruise tourism. Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis shared the same sentiment.
Meantime, here are six things you need to know before you embark on your cruise vacation.
