New cruise to Lakshadweep Islands
A new cruise line is due to launch in the UK in October offering exclusive access to the Lakshadweep Islands – an archipelago of virtually uninhabited tropical islands in the Indian Ocean.
Indian Ocean Cruises has been granted exclusive permission by the Indian Government to visit the Lakshadweep Islands on the MS Ocean Odyssey.
Agents can now book with Indian Ocean Cruises through The Cruise Line, which will be acting as Indian Ocean Cruises’ UK sales agent.
Indian Ocean Cruises has been granted exclusive access to visit three of the islands – Tinnakara, Suheli and Cheriyam.
It is bound by its terms with the Indian Government to ensure the islands are left pristine at the end of every visit to protect the environment.
Following ancient spice routes, MS Ocean Odyssey will cruise a two-week voyage for a maximum of just 250 guests around the southwest coastline of India.
Prices start from £940 per person for a 14-night cruise only, based on a full-board basis including transfers between the airport and vessel, and all port taxes. Flights not included.
MS Ocean Odyssey’s inaugural cruise will be on October 7.
