Cruising Past The Kutchch – India’s Latest Cruise Destination
With a 1,600-km coastline, cruising should be a natural choice for tourists. The Gujarat government plans to expand its tourism possibilities by opening up its major ports to cruiseliners, ships and yachts!
This is good news for those looking for cruises in the subcontinent. Gujarat, located on the West Coast of India, is a place known to be open to tourists. Its coast has serene beaches, islands, creeks, the Gulf of Kutchch, the Gulf of Khambat, pilgrimage centres and several tourists spots.
Many cruiseliners have approached Gujarat Tourism to start their operations. With its proximity to Mumbai and Goa, which are already established cruise destinations, it should be no problem for the state to link up cruises and start off. The fact that the state has some of India’s deepest and well-developed ports will be an added advantage.
