India’s first international cruise from Chennai to Sri Lanka was waived off from Chennai Port on 5th June 2023. 

The MV Express is carrying 750 passengers for a 5-day cruise where it will cross 3 ports. 

Sarbananda Sonowal, the cruise minister of ports, said that the scope of cruise tourism is immense, and the launch is quite affordable and offers best-in-class services to the passengers on board. It is believed to increase cruise tourism in the country.
