Mumbai to Goa by Cruise – The Best of Luxury Travel @7000INR
India's
first ever passenger cruise ship service has already been launched in Mumbai. The cruise ship named Angriya, which departed
on trial from the Mumbai port's newly constructed domestic terminal, reached
Goa on 2nd August 2018.
Pricing and service
For those looking forward to go on a cruise journey from
Mumbai to Goa on Angriya, the price for this premium sailing service starts at
Rs 7,000, which in comparison to other modes of transportation, including air
travel and train, is expensive. The company looks to target people willing to
spend extra bucks for their luxurious cruise sailing.
For a Volvo bus service between Mumbai to Goa, one has to
pay around Rs 1,000-Rs 2,500, while if you travel by air, most airlines charge
around Rs 3,500-Rs 7,000. Even the ticket price for most premium train service
Tejas costs Rs 2,600.
What you get for Rs
7,000?
Apart from the obvious joyful ride experience through the
Mumbai-Goa coastline, the company will bear the cost of your two meals and a brunch.
Within this, you can take a dive into the swimming pool on its vessel deck
while also enjoying scenic beauty of the Konkan coastline. The ship's staff,
apart from providing assistance on necessary services, will also guide you
about the historical relevance of the region.
Interior and room
services
The vessel deck of Angriya has eight different types of
restaurants, and round-the-clock coffee shops, recreation room, lounge, and
swimming pool. On board the ship, you can also gain some insight about interesting
nautical trivia. If cruise wedding is on your wish list, one of the restaurants
on the ship can be expanded to organise wedding parties or corporate meetings.
The ship can accommodate around 350 passengers.
So how expensive are the rooms? The company says prices
for different category rooms are yet to be decided: "We will evaluate the
demand once we start marketing the cruise, based on which we will firm up our
price points. However, the base price will be around Rs 7,000," Siddharth
Newalkar, director, Sea Eagle Cruises said a day before.
Cruise timings
Though the cruise is being run on trail basis so far, it
will depart from the Mumbai port at 5pm and reach Goa at 9am the next day. The
cruise will return to the Mumbai port on alternate days.
Since now we have a
new mode of travel, don’t you think it is worth going to goa yet again this
year. I am booking my tickets, wanna join?
