Mr. Nitin Gadkari, Minister of Road Transport & Highways, Shipping and Water Resources announced recently that the Indian government was in discussion with the Indonesian government to kickstart this initiative as soon as possible. He said,” I have met a minister from Indonesia. We have initiated the idea of starting a cruise from Mumbai to Andaman & Nicobar Islands via Goa and Kochi. The ships can go up to Bali, Indonesia.”

With lakhs of Indians visiting Bali each year, it is needless to say that starting a cruise service will provide a huge boost to tourism. The government is in fact working hard to utilise India’s cruise tourism potential. The Mumbai Port Trust is developing a state of the art cruise terminal near Ballard Pier, which would cater to nearly 7 lakh passengers once it is ready next year. So for all cruise lovers, good times lie ahead!
