A longer five-night sailing on the Cordelia Empress with an itinerary that varies by departure — either a loop towards Lakshadweep and Goa, or legs across to Sri Lanka calling at Galle and Trincomalee. Either way the ship is the heart of the holiday, with all meals across the main dining and buffet included, plus Broadway-style entertainment, a casino, pool deck, gym and kids' zone for all ages. The extra days mean more time to settle into shipboard life between port calls. Honest note: the exact route, ports and any landings depend on the sailing and prevailing conditions (Lakshadweep landings in particular can be tender-based and weather-dependent), so confirm the itinerary at booking; shore excursions and premium extras are typically additional. starting at INR 40,000 per person. Covers Mumbai-Lakshadweep-Goa-Mumbai OR Mumbai-Galle-Trincomalee-Mumbai.
Arrive at the Mumbai cruise terminal, complete check-in and board the Cordelia Empress. Settle into your cabin and explore the decks as the ship sails. Enjoy dinner in the main dining room and an evening show, getting your bearings for the days ahead.
A full day at sea heading towards your first port. Make the most of the ship — pool deck, gym, spa and casino — and the kids' zone for younger travellers. Catch the stage shows and live music, and enjoy the included meals across the venues through the day.
The ship reaches its first port — Lakshadweep or Sri Lanka's Galle, depending on the sailing. Step ashore for a few hours of beach, sightseeing or an optional shore excursion (usually extra). Landings can be tender-based and weather-dependent, so follow the crew's guidance, then re-board for the evening.
Continue the itinerary with a second port call — Goa or Sri Lanka's Trincomalee, depending on route — or a scenic day of sailing. Enjoy more time ashore or onboard, with the ship's dining, entertainment and pool deck on hand. Spend the evening with another show or live act.
A relaxed final full day at sea as the Empress heads back towards Mumbai. Soak up the facilities one last time, catch any entertainment you missed and enjoy the included dining. Pack at leisure and savour a final festive evening onboard.
Enjoy a final breakfast as the ship returns to Mumbai. Complete disembarkation formalities and head onward, closing out the five-night cruise. Allow time at the terminal for the process.
