Visakhapatnam is set to begin international cruise operations with Cordelia Cruises, marking a step in Andhra Pradesh’s efforts to position the port as a cruise tourism hub. Initial sailings will start domestically from Chennai before expanding to international routes, enhancing coastal connectivity.
The rollout includes scheduled domestic voyages connecting Chennai, Visakhapatnam, and Puducherry, before transitioning to international itineraries. The development is expected to strengthen India’s cruise tourism infrastructure and support regional tourism growth through increased port activity and passenger traffic.
