Cordelia Cruises has been promoting and driving the cruise culture in India through experiences that are stylish, luxurious, and very Indian. Specifically designed to cater to its majority Indian clientele, today Cordelia Cruises stands out with its Indian pedigree.
The 'Big Sea Bash' and the 'High Sea Honors' on-board the Cordelia Empress, was a three-night celebration cruise from May 5-8, 2023, sailing from Mumbai to Goa and back to Mumbai. It was a gesture by the management of Cordelia Cruises to appreciate and acknowledge the support and hard work of its business partners, staff, influencers, and media in establishing it as India's premier cruise line. The 'Big Sea Bash' on-board the Cordelia flagship 'Empress' was an endeavour to celebrate this success and share the joy of its accomplishment with its trade partners, influencers and media.
After checking in at the Mumbai Port Passenger Cruise Terminal, guests were welcomed on-board to the rhythmic beat of the Punjabi Dhol, combined with the energetic moves of the Bhangra and chilled welcome drinks. The welcome kits in the room spelled out in detail all the activities and schedules for the duration of the cruise.
The entertainment, showcased for the two nights at the two-tiered Marquee Theatre, had everyone's pulse racing with Bollywood-style musicals like 'Balle Balle', 'CineMagic,' 'Burlesque' and the mesmerising antics and illusions by Tejas. The meals at the enthralling 'Starlight Dining Hall' with its floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic sea views are a delight, not to forget the great spread of Indian vegetarian and non-vegetarian options and desserts. Yes! there were also international favourites like the Thai Papaya Salad, Russian Salad, Chinese Cuisine, Pasta, Tiramisu, and more. If food is a point of worry, worry not!
