Cruise Honeymoon Packages In India

Best Cruise Honeymoon Destinations in India

Andaman and Nicobar: India's flagship cruise honeymoon

Andaman is the most-booked cruise honeymoon choice for Indian couples, and it is TravelTriangle's deepest offering. Inter-island cruises and ferries connect Port Blair with Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) and Neil (Shaheed Dweep), the stretch of the Bay of Bengal with the calmest, clearest water in the country. Pair sailing days with Radhanagar Beach sunsets, scuba at Elephant Beach, and a candlelight dinner ashore. Best sailed November to April.

Goa: short coastal cruise add-on

Goa suits couples who want a cruise honeymoon without a long sailing. Take a sunset and dinner cruise on the Mandovi, then pair it with a beach-resort stay. It is the easiest cruise honeymoon to combine with flights from any metro, and the lowest-commitment way into a cruise celebration.

Kochi to Lakshadweep (Cordelia Cruises)

Cordelia Cruises sails from Kochi toward Lakshadweep's lagoons, the closest thing India has to a Maldives-style cruise honeymoon. You get sea-view and balcony cabins, onboard dining, and shore excursions to coral atolls. It is a strong pick for couples who want a full ship experience rather than an inter-island ferry.

Kerala backwaters: private houseboat cruise

For couples who want privacy over a big ship, a Kerala backwater houseboat is a two-person cruise: a private deck, a cook onboard, and a slow drift through Alleppey and Kumarakom. Many couples combine it with a Munnar hill stay for a cruise-and-hills honeymoon.

Mumbai to Maldives and Ganges river cruises

Cordelia also runs Mumbai sailings toward the Maldives for couples who want an international cruise honeymoon from an Indian port. Luxury river cruises on the Ganges offer a heritage alternative, sailing the Kolkata to Varanasi stretch. Both need longer lead times, and the Maldives route needs valid passports.

Cruise Honeymoon Packages by Departure City

From Chennai, Kolkata or Visakhapatnam, fly to Port Blair and start your Andaman inter-island cruise. This is the most-booked cruise honeymoon route. From Kochi, board Cordelia for the Lakshadweep ocean cruise. From Mumbai, choose a short Goa coastal cruise or a longer Cordelia sailing toward the Maldives. Every package is customisable to start from any Indian city. Add your departure point at booking and the team adjusts flights and transfers.

Top Cruise Ships and Itineraries

Cordelia Cruises runs the ocean liners. The Cordelia Empress sails Kochi to Lakshadweep and Mumbai to Maldives, with sea-view, balcony and suite cabins, plus a Mumbai to Diu coastal route for shorter sailings. For Andaman, fast catamarans in the Makruzz, Nautika and Green Ocean classes handle the Port Blair to Havelock to Neil hops. On the Ganges, luxury river ships such as the MV Ganga Vilas and the Antara Ganges Voyager cover the Kolkata to Varanasi heritage route. In Kerala, the houseboat is a cruise-for-two, a private Alleppey or Kumarakom deck stay.

Onboard Romance: Dining, Cabins and What's Included

The romance onboard

Cruise honeymoons trade square footage for the experience. Candlelight dinners on deck, a private balcony for sunrise over open water, couple spa treatments, and shore excursions you take together, a Lakshadweep lagoon snorkel, a Havelock beach picnic, a Mandovi sunset. The ship moves while you sleep, so every morning is a new destination with zero packing.

Cabin types

• Interior cabin, the value pick, with everything onboard and no window.

• Sea-view cabin, with a window or porthole to the water.

• Balcony or suite, a private deck for two and the honeymoon upgrade most couples choose.

Typically included (confirm per package)

• Cabin stay, onboard meals and buffet, and entertainment.

• Selected shore excursions and transfers.

Not included: flights to the embarkation port, personal expenses, optional spa or excursions, and, for international sailings, passport and visa.

Places To Visit In Andaman

Saddle Peak

Saddle Peak is the highest point in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It sits near the town of Diglipur in North Andaman and gives hikers a wide view over the surrounding forest and coast. It is a favourite with trekkers who want a longer, steeper climb.

Campbell Bay

Campbell Bay lies on Great Nicobar, the southernmost inhabited part of the islands, and is the headquarters of the Great Nicobar group. Nearby you can reach Indira Point, the southernmost tip of India, and the Great Nicobar Biosphere Reserve. Access is permit-controlled, so plan ahead.

Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep)

Havelock Island, officially Swaraj Dweep since December 2018, sits about 57 km northeast of Port Blair. A private fast ferry takes roughly 1.5 to 2 hours, and government ferries run slower. It is home to Radhanagar Beach and most of the region's dive shops, which is why it anchors nearly every Andaman honeymoon.

Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park

The Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park is one of the most visited spots in Andaman. It protects nesting grounds for sea turtles and a rich underwater world of coral and reef fish, best seen on a glass-bottom boat ride or a snorkelling trip from Wandoor.

Mount Harriet National Park

Mount Harriet National Park sits in the hills of South Andaman, about 30 km from Port Blair, and covers roughly 4.62 square kilometres. It is a good half-day trip for the forest trail and the view over Port Blair harbour.

Things To Do In Andaman

Bird watching

Bird watching is a quiet way to spend a morning in Andaman, and it draws both serious birders and casual nature lovers. The wetlands around Port Blair are among the best spots, home to endemic species you will not see on the mainland.

Scuba diving

Scuba diving is one of the most popular things to do in Andaman. The islands sit on a live coral reef with schools of fish in every size and colour, and because there are few predatory fish near the beaches, the shallow reefs are safe for first dives. Certified operators run trips off Havelock and North Bay for beginners and licensed divers alike.

Sea walk

A sea walk lets you walk on the ocean floor about 6 to 7 metres down, wearing a clear glass helmet fed with a steady supply of oxygen, and you do not need to know how to swim. It is one of the calmest ways to see live coral and reef fish up close, which is why families, non-swimmers and first-timers pick it over scuba.

Trekking

Andaman is known for water sports, but it also has good forest trails. The best-known trek runs from Mount Harriet to Madhuban through dense rainforest, and the climb to Saddle Peak near Diglipur rewards you with a wide view over the northern islands.

Snorkelling

Snorkelling puts you face to face with the reef without any diving gear. With a little practice you can float over the coral and watch the fish, and the shallow, clear water off Elephant Beach and North Bay makes it easy for first-timers.

Shopping In Andaman

Andaman's best-known markets include Aberdeen Bazaar, Sagarika, the Shell Market and MG Road. The buys worth carrying home are wooden artefacts, coconut-shell decor, shell ornaments, pearl jewellery, spices, sarongs and hats.

What To Pack for an Andaman Cruise Honeymoon

Andaman is a cluster of islands, so pack light summer clothes, beachwear and swimwear. Carry good sunscreen, since the sun is strong and you will be on the water often. A power bank and offline maps help, as island network coverage can be patchy. For the full picture on seasons, permits and routes, see our Andaman travel guide.
