Queen Elizabeth pays Kochi Port a visit!
British luxury cruise liner Queen Elizabeth dropped anchor at the Kochi (Cochin) port on the 26th of March making it the fortieth luxury ship to have docked here in the last financial year.
Three more cruise liners including the Queen Mary 2 (which is the largest luxury liner in the world) are expected to dock in Cochin later this year. Kochi is fast emerging as the busiest cruise destination in the country.
So what makes Kochi (Cochin) such a favourite hotspot for visiting ships?
Passengers who spoke to Kerala Travel Centre mentioned their fascination for the region’s many contrasting highlights and we were only too delighted to put together day tours that showcased Cochin in all its glory.
From discovering the bustling metropolis of Ernakulam where they went shopping for souvenirs to exploring the many captivating highlights in cultural Fort Kochi, guests enjoyed a sojourn through one of India’s finest towns. Whats more, we even organised for local cookery demonstrations for the delighted guests.
It is, after all, perhaps the only district in Kerala where one can experience urban comforts on par with other major cities in India and also the history of many centuries bygone making it the perfect amalgamation of the old and the new.
