Bringing cheer to tourism stakeholders, foreign cruise ships carrying high-end tourists are all set to call at Kochi from November 29, after the pandemic-induced break.
A total of 16 cruise ships have confirmed their trips to Kochi till March 31. The first such vessel will be Europa-2, which is expected to berth at Sagarika, the first and only full-fledged cruise terminal in the country that was inaugurated in February 2021. That would make it the first foreign cruise ship to berth at the terminal, said official sources. The ship will begin its journey from Europe, call at the Middle East and Mormugao in Goa, and then arrive at Kochi. It will leave from here for Colombo.
