The two best cruises on Mumbai to Goa route

Numerous cruises travel between Mumbai and Goa. But two cruises, in particular, have captured the imagination of every traveller.

Angriya Cruise – India’s first domestic luxury cruise

Angriya Cruises is the first domestic luxury cruise to sail along the Konkan coast. This is an advanced cruise liner that has been in operation since October 2018. It has everything a passenger could want, from an infinity pool to a bar, restaurants to a coffee shop, lounges to a spa, and open decks to a souvenir shop. There’s even a small library for all you bookworms out there.

The cost per person on this cruise depends on the accommodation you choose. The rooms are differentiated into various categories: family room, couple room, buddy room, luxury pods, and dorm room. However, if you want to experience the ultimate luxury, book the buddy room, which has an attached washroom and a large window. It is ideal for solo travellers! Aside from these, you must pay an extra Rs.2000 for the dinner buffet, breakfast, snacks, and beverages.

The only disadvantage of this cruise liner is that it does not operate all year. It is only open from October to November when Goa is at its busiest.

Cordelia Cruise – the oldest and the biggest cruise on Mumbai – Goa route

Cordelia Cruise provides the best onboard experience for its passengers on a two-night, three-day trip. With a capacity of 2000 passengers, the cruise is well-equipped to meet all its guests’ needs. The entire cruise has an Indian flavour, from the cuisine to the hospitability. When it comes to food, they serve delectable dishes from breakfast to dinner. And if you’re a vegetarian, don’t worry. Cordelia has your back. There are plenty of options for vegetarians as well as vegans.

Along with that, this cruise line also has one of the best entertainment and recreational zones. You can work out at the fitness centres, try your luck at the casino, eat at a multi-cuisine restaurant, have an exciting nightlife, go for a quick swim in the pool, and watch a movie and whatnot. And, if you fall sick on the cruise, there’s a 24×7 medical facility available on the cruise as well. 

Apart from that, do you know what the best part about this cruise is? It is, without a doubt, the rooms! This cruise liner has mini-suites, ocean-view rooms, a chic interior, and balcony rooms. And I have to say that the ocean-view rooms are the best! You can simply be in your room and enjoy the vastness of the sea without being disturbed while doing what you love! I don’t think it can get any better than this, can it?

How long does it take to reach Goa from Mumbai on a cruise?

The cruise ships leave Mumbai at noon and arrive in Goa the next morning. Generally, it takes 15 to 17 hours to reach Goa from Mumbai on a cruise. It might feel like that’s a lot of time, but once you board the cruise, you will never know how quickly these hours fly. With the view of the vast sea, multiple cuisine, and world-class amenities, you will not have a single moment of dullness. And, please do not forget to catch the sunsets from the deck and stargaze at night (try to spot the milky way). Those sights are priceless!

What can you expect on a Mumbai to Goa cruise? 

Whether you opt for Angriya or Cordelia cruise, there are certain things you’ll find in both cruise liners.
