Sri Lanka itinerary
In the last monsoon season when the cruises are on the west coast, we moved to the east coast which is Chennai and the home base of Chennai. Now we are going international. We are going to Sri Lanka. We will go to three Ports of Sri Lanka and we have received very good response to this. In fact, the Sri Lankan government also is supporting us, which is a big plus. I am confident that this particular route is going to do very well.
USP of the Cruise
It is still a very new destination. If it’s a wedding on the sea, in a cruise ship, it’s a very unique and different concept. People want to experience that. And while they are on the cruise ship when the wedding is happening, there are also other attractions to enjoy such as live shows, pubs, swimming pools, bars, Casinos and more
MICE and Weddings?
You know today everyone wants a destination wedding and the latest catch in the market is a destination wedding on the Cruise This is why we are doing good weddings business. A Cruise ship is the perfect destination for a wedding. You don’t have to bring anything; everything is available on the ship. You just have to walk in. We have a fantastic food, décor, and music In fact, people can book separate ships.
Target segment
We are now focusing on MICE the Corporates. There are a lot of corporates coming and doing their convention here at the Cruise. There are plenty of RNR meetings. People are tired of holding meetings and events in hotels and resorts and now want to do something different and this is where we come in. So going forward, we are focusing on parties, events, weddings, landmark celebrations and more.
Strategy ahead
We at Cordelia Cruises have something for people of all age groups. If you are a teenager, we have Pubs, music, and Disk if you are an elderly couple, you can simply lounge and take in the view or be a part of the many discussion shows that are happening. From romantic avenues to adventure zones – we offer it all. We are also working with plenty of tour operators and travel aggregators now to sell the cruise bookings and we have received tremendous response at both OTM and SATTE.
