Yes, some ships have a casino. Whether it's open depends on local laws and Cordelia's own rules, so don't count on it every time.
Domestic trips? No visa, you're good. Crossing borders? You'll need a passport and probably a visa for that country, so check before you book.
Indian Rupees and US Dollar are the two accepted currencies on board. Once you embark, you will be given a key-card, that is a rechargeable card that you can put money into and swipe for all your spends. Any remaining value at the end of the cruise will be refunded back to you.
Packages do not include air fare and transfers to and from ship terminals, visa fare or travel insurance. Surcharges, shore excursions or on board purchases are not included either. Your package includes cabin fare, port taxes, meals and some of the entertainment and activities.
Carry the original government ID you booked with and your cruise confirmation. International sailings may ask for extra paperwork, so read the requirements beforehand.
Wi-Fi packages are available for purchase once you book your cruise.
That depends on your fare. You can cancel a few; others you can't. Read the terms before you pay.

For a typical 2-night/3-day Mumbai–High Seas–Goa sailing, here is roughly how the Cordelia Cruise Itinerary plays out. You get a mix of chilling on the ship and a stop at your destination:
Mumbai: Arrive at the terminal with your original documents, complete check-in, and board. Once you are on, settle into your cabin, wander around the ship, and watch the departure. Dinner and some evening entertainment wrap up day one.
At Sea: Today, the ship is the plan. Swim, join activities, hit the spa or gym, catch some entertainment, or just slow down with a meal while you look out at the water.
You wake up, and Goa is right there. Depending on how the schedule looks, you can either wander off on your own or tag along with an excursion if they are running one. Just make sure you are back on the ship when they say so. Then, follow whatever disembarkation process the cruise ship has.
Pro tip: Ports, timings, activities, and exact schedules – all of that shifts depending on which sailing you book. Do yourself a favour and double-check the final itinerary before you lock in a Cordelia Cruise 3-Night Package.
Waking up to new, spectacular views as you glide across the vast expanse of the ocean is the first of many highlight experiences. Discover a ship that’s full of comfort, excitement, pleasure, relaxation, and all-round engagement. You’ll never have a dull moment! In between sunrises and sunsets, you can enjoy it all. A magnificent stay in cosy, comfortable accommodation. Gourmet on-board dining, including global fare as well as various Indian specialties and diets. Exceptional entertainment and activities for all ages. Book a Cordelia Cruise package, and enjoy its anchor-free enjoyment all the way.
Your home on the sea promises land comforts. Cordelia Cruises offers five cabin options, from budget-friendly interior rooms to lovely ocean-view rooms and wonderful balcony rooms that open out onto your own private lookout point. As well as gorgeous suites and the special Chairman’s Suite, with luxurious state-of-the-art facilities as well as premium access to in-room dining and the Chef’s table experience. Whether you spend two nights on board or five, your cabin offers the perfect cosy bit of the ship to call your own. Where you can relax, spend time with only the view, enjoy the world-class amenities, and feel totally refreshed for your next adventure out on the decks.
The cabin you pick changes how the whole trip feels. If you just need somewhere to crash and recharge, an interior cabin does the job. You get the basics without shelling out extra for a view.
Want to open your eyes to the ocean? An Ocean View cabin gives you that through a window or porthole. If privacy and that classic cruise vibe matter to you, opt for a Cordelia Cruise Couple Package and get a balcony cabin. Step outside whenever you want and watch the coastline, the sunrise, or the sunset roll by.
A suite gets you more space and a more indulgent setup. And if you are celebrating something, travelling with family, or just want the best they have, the Chairman’s Suite is the one. It has big living areas, a private balcony, and all the premium extras.

Dining aboard the cruise is always a delight. The restaurants and menus have been specially curated for the variable Indian palate, with cultural and dietary considerations taken into account. Anytime is a good time to visit the All Day Dining food court, where buffet food stations called Essence of India, Far Eastern Kadhai, Sugar & Spice, The International Grill, Hot Clay Tandoor, Kettle & Bun, Jain Haven, Vegetarian Bang Street Food, and The Cafe offer all imaginable global and local favourites. While the two speciality restaurants — The Waterfront and Chopstix — offer unique dining experiences. Perfect for families, groups, and couples too. The Waterfront for its charming decor and gourmet servings, and Chopstix for a grand Pan-Asian affair that one always has the appetite for. For those seeking a more exclusive affair, make advanced reservations for a seat at the Chef’s Table, where you will be served a specially crafted menu.
In brief, they have all-day dining and speciality restaurants, so you can move between Indian, Asian, and international flavours depending on what you are in the mood for. Vegetarian and Jain options are on the menu too, which makes it easier if you are travelling with people who have different food preferences. The meals are usually included in the Cordelia Cruise price per person.
The Empress knows how to entertain. Day or night, the fun never stops on a cruise vacation. With the wind in your sails, explore every avenue of excitement and thrill that Cordelia Cruises has on board. Make your way to the fabulous casino and play your luck. Soak in a sensational performance at The Marquee theatre. Broadway or Burlesque take your pick. Other nights, music performances turn the ocean into the hippest dance floor, and outdoor movie nights let you enjoy cinematic moments under starry skies. Meanwhile, spend your days rejuvenating at the spa, salon or fitness centre. Splash about in the swimming pool or dive into the quiet of a book at the reading zone. Go shopping on board the ship or plan your shore excursions so that you can make the most of your time on land. Cordelia Cruises also offer special activities for children, like a kids pool and rock climbing wall. Then there is the Cordelia Academy, where they are looked after with plenty of care, engaging activities and games.
So, there is theatre stuff, live music, DJs, the pool, onboard shopping, and the spa to unwind at. Families will find things for the kids, and if you just want peace and quiet, grab a deck chair and stare at the horizon for a while.
Start from Mumbai and mix in the city’s landmarks, food scene, and waterfront buzz before you head out to sea. This is an excellent option if you wish to book the Cordelia Cruise Family Packages.
Nothing shines brighter on the coastline of the Arabian Sea than India’s biggest metropolis, Mumbai. Cordelia Cruise tour packages take you to and from this vibrant cultural city, giving you the chance to explore everything from colonial monuments to the historic street food. And then there’s everything from promenades and beaches to shopping centres, temples, galleries and museums to visit too. The maximum city is always a total blast.
When the ship docks in Goa, you have beaches, old Portuguese heritage, local food, and that unmistakable holiday feel waiting for you. Cruise to the country’s favourite coastal destination, Goa. Where your state of mind switches to holiday mode instantly, and instinctively. Spend your shore time exploring the old town and its Colonial heritage. Visit beach after beach; they all have a charm of their own. Eat! Soak in as much of the coastal flavours as you like. Celebrate and party the way only Goa can make you. This is where your sea escapade comes full circle.
A pleasure filled sail aboard Cordelia Cruises, which takes you all the way to the breathtaking Lakshadweep Islands off the coast of Kerala. Where white sand beaches welcome you, crystal blue waters beckon you, the local folk culture will charm you, and the natural serenity will leave you enchanted and inspired. Don’t miss out on activities like kayaking, snorkeling, and scuba diving; explore the underwater life just as much as you are life up on sea. An amazing experience for families and couples alike.
Lakshadweep is the kind of place that sticks in your head, with its turquoise lagoons and white-sand beaches. Depending on which cruise you are on, you can explore, snorkel, kayak, or just lie there and take it all in.
Experience South Indian culture at its finest, in the beautiful blend of old and new that is Chennai. Sample its traditional filter coffee, marvel at its historic St George Fort. Catch a sunset on the beach; you have a few to choose from. Or make your way for a pilgrimage to one of the bigger temples in the city. So, before or after the cruise, check out Chennai’s temples, landmarks, beaches, and the South Indian food culture.
Cordelia Cruise packages are a great way to visit Sri Lanka. Witness its beautiful port cities. The picturesque beach town of Galle has everything from monuments to museums and surfing to the stunning Japanese Peace Pagoda. The capital city of Colombo is a colourful cosmopolitan city, where you can get a refill on your favourite urban pleasures, from shopping to fancy dining. Jaffna and Trincomalee are the other two ports you could visit, both offering a different perspective of Sri Lanka. One that’s bustling with culture treasures, and the other that’s full of natural wonders. Depending on the itinerary, you might get Colombo, Galle, Jaffna, or Trincomalee. The itineraries include city life, heritage sites, and coastal scenery, all rolled into one.

Thanks for booking your Cordelia Cruise holiday with us. May we update you that this is Cordelia Cruise’s first sailing in Indian waters. This India sailing is a value for money product. Since cruising is a truly different holiday experience, it is important that we brief you on a few important points:
All guests should arrive at the Green Gate Ballard Pier by 2pm on the boarding day. As there is no seating area at the Green Gate, please note that you will be required to queue up for the embarkation process.
Mandatory is also the original government identification card that you had provided during the booking process
Carry your debit/credit cards, as cash payments are not permitted on the cruise
Outside food, beverages, and alcohol are not allowed and must not be carried onto the ship
We recommend that you also carry your seasickness medication/patches
Hence, please carry your international adaptor (American plug 110V). Please do not carry kettle or cooking equipment on board, as this is not permitted
Don’t forget to bring your personal toiletries with you
Some more handy tips:
Do not be late. The terminal time on your documents is there for a reason, and check-in can close well before the ship actually pulls away.
Have your original government-approved ID on you, plus the cruise confirmation. Do not assume a screenshot will cut it.
Forget cash. Onboard, you do not really pay for things with physical money. Drinks, shopping, spa treatments, etc., get charged to your onboard account, and you settle them through the cruise's payment system later.
Check baggage rules before you pack outside food, drinks, alcohol, or restricted electrical appliances.
Keep essential medication and seasickness stuff in your hand luggage. Also, don't forget to carry your regular medication with you.
Read the cancellation terms properly. Cancellations beyond a certain point or no-shows might not be eligible for refunds.
You will be sailing in international waters and hence your sim card will not be operational. Hence we recommend that you purchase a wifi card that is available onboard.
Shore excursions (eg in Goa and Lakshadweep) can only be purchased through the cruise shore excursion desk – onboard
Passengers who do not purchase the shore excursions mentioned above will not be allowed to disembark
To ensure your health and safety, please maintain social distancing at all times, especially at the reception, dining and entertainment areas.
In case of any assistance onboard, please reach out to the Cruise Help Desk at Reception. Do be assured that we have a special Thomas Cook-SOTC tour manager onboard.
May we request you to take care while using the toilet facilities on the cruise. Please avoid disposing items like your mask, etc. in the toilets, as this would result in drainage concerns
Please clear all your pending bills the day before disembarkation
Please have your breakfast and be in readiness for disembarkation by 10am on the last day of your cruise.
Please ensure you do not take back any of the ship’s property when you disembark. A check is done and the cost will be debited to you.
