seagoingJLW Posted November 28, 2004 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2004 I have been trying to find a cruise which goes around the Indian subcontinent without any success. Does anyone know of such a cruise or a cruiseline that does this voyage? I am not interested in going to China, Thailand, or Japan as we have already done that. I do really want to visit India on a cruise. I should appreciate any help that you can offer. Joan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburgher Posted December 1, 2004 #2 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Have a look at: www.swanhellenic.com Theres a few might be of interest. Click CRUISES then CRUISE BY DATE then click on 504, 505, and 506 to see each itinerary. All 3 have Indian ports. Let me know what you think.

edinburgher Posted December 1, 2004 #3 Share Posted December 1, 2004 505 is called PASSAGE AROUND INDIA. Might be nearest to what you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagoingJLW Posted December 9, 2004 Author #5 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Just curious to know if the info above was useful to you :) .....or not?:( Not really. I am looking for a cruise on a regular cruiseline that isn't overpriced. RCCI had one years ago, when they had their Royal Journeys. At that time, we took the cruise they offered around the Arabian Peninsula. Joan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburgher Posted December 9, 2004 #6 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Sorry about that as it seemed like a real possibility. I knew they went there as the last 3 ports on our 503/504 btb are in India (we fly home from Chennai) and the next one was "Passage".(starting in Chennai) Swan Hellenic is a "regular" line. It is yet another member of the P and O Group. The prices might seem high on first look, but tips, all excursions, speakers are included.......and like all other cruise lines, theres discounts to be had.

Joan We are booked on MV Discovery (sister ship of the Love Boat) in November 2011 and we are stopping at 3 places in India. You can check it out on the Discovery Cruise web site. They only have the one ship. There are also a few reviews on cruise critic. Wendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mexico8 Posted May 4, 2011 #12 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Dear Wendy, Is this the route you will be following: Safaga • Jeddah • Massawa • Salalah • Muscat • Mumbai (Flying back from Mumbai to London) Teresa Hi Teresa, Yes, that's the route for the first part of our cruise. We are staying on the ship in Mumbai for a few days and continue on to Goa and Cochin and Colombo, Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Bangkok. We will be on the ship for 37 days but you can book shorter parts of the cruise. We will be flying from Ottawa to London and stay overnight and then continue on to Safaga. They have a package deal. You can check it out with them or you can e-mail me at wenbob@magma.ca and I can tell you who we booked our package with. (We are not allowed to post that info here I don't think.)

CtheW0rld Posted May 4, 2011 #13 Share Posted May 4, 2011 i'm kind of surprised no mainstream lines are doing this. maybe there is a lack of infrastructure along the coast. swan hellanic is an uber-luxury, all-inclusive if i recall my research correctly. way out of my price range. costa is know for doing unusual itineraries, maybe they'll start if there is enough interest.

150edmiston Posted May 27, 2011 #16 Share Posted May 27, 2011 JLW, we did a reposition cruise from Singapore to Dubai in April on Azamara Quest. The ship is superb in every way. We stopped in Cochin and Mumbai. Check the itinerary for 2012. I believe they may also be stopping in Goa as well. The ship also goes the other way through the middle east and on to the orient to begin it's season there. Check that as well. Good luck.

SparkleBee Posted July 5, 2014 #17 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I know this is super old but am looking for the same thing as the OP and see that Azamara offers something that mostly fits the bill. they only show 2014 trips though so I'm trying to find out if it will be offered in 2015.

Highly recommend Mumbai Magic for tours but in Mumbai itself we used a charitable organisation with students who walked us around in very small groups as well as using buses, trains and taxis. The most extraordinary, unforgettable day. Can I link you up with my blog which has all the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
