In May, avid traveller Sunu Mathew and her friends had taken a seven-night cruise from Barcelona and sailed to Palma de Mallorca, Marseille, La Spezia, Civitavecchia and Naples. Three months later, Sunu still cannot stop talking about the cruise aboard the Symphony of the Seas that took them to ports in Spain, France and Italy.
The cruising industry is still in its nascent state in India, but many Indians, across age and gender, have taken to cruising for the curated experiences, sightseeing and fun it offers. They fly to Europe, US and Singapore to board luxury liners that spare no effort to pamper travellers with food, drinks, spas, shows, music, casinos, games and shore excursions.
