Cordelia Cruises Launches International Cruises from Kochi
Imagine a cruise ship, the Empress, starting its journey from Kochi, India.
This cruise line, Cordelia Cruises, is taking people to exciting new places.
Starting in October 2026, you can sail to beautiful places like the Maldives and Sri Lanka.
There's a longer trip that takes you to both places and a shorter weekend getaway at sea.
On board, you can enjoy delicious food, fun shows, and activities.
When you arrive at the destinations, you can explore beaches, visit historic sites, and see colorful coral reefs.
Cordelia Cruises wants to make it easy and fun for people in India to go on amazing cruises.
Cordelia Cruises will begin international cruises from Kochi on October 25, 2026.
The cruises will sail to Malé (Maldives) and Colombo (Sri Lanka).
