With the country’s first cruise liner AMET Cruises launching its operations from the first week of October, Kochi is all set to welcome the prestigious cruise tourism. The M V AMET Majesty will be initially setting sail from Kochi to Maldives, Lakshwadeep and  would also be undertaking a cruise on the high sea.

The M V AMET Majesty would sail from Kochi to Maldives (four nights), Kochi-Lakshadweep (two nights) every week and would also operate one high-sea trip during the night for those trying something new for holidaying.

The AMET cruise has introduced a new and unique holiday format, recreation and entertainment in the country. Before, the only the foreign cruise liners used to visit the Indian ports  and were always focused towards the rich people. But now AMET cruise has come out with the rightly priced packages which bring cruise tourism options within the reach of the urban middle class. The minimum price for the cruise would be around Rs 5,000 per person for a night and port charges. Special packages would be offered for those who book the cruise in advance.

The AMET cruise is planning to operate throughout the year and would operate in the west coast from October to March and in the east coast from April to September.

Some of the features of the AMET cruise include dance floor, disco casinos, show lounges bars, swimming pool, barbeque, conference room, kids’ zone, event floor for business meets, seminars, trade shows, anniversaries and social gatherings. Apart from these the cruise comes with luxurious state rooms, suites and stag cabins.
