Jagsons Travels has witnessed a transformative shift in cruise dynamics. “Nearly 78% of Indian cruisers today opt for balcony cabins and suites on 3–5 night itineraries. Onboard spending has moved beyond basics to premium experiences like specialty dining, wellness, and high-end retail,” says Harmandeep Singh Anand, Managing Director, Jagsons Travels.
“To cater to this evolving demand, cruise liners like Cordelia have tailored offerings with authentic Jain and regional Indian gastronomy, multi-generational activities, and custom entertainment. While domestic sailings and South East Asia drive high volumes, Japan, Scandinavia, and Middle East routes are surging fastest. Meanwhile, polar expeditions and European river cruises remain underrated gems for India’s luxury travellers.”
