Resorts World Cruises expands operations to India

Resorts World Cruises is charting new waters in India as its Resorts World One ship sets anchor in Mumbai. From 5 March to 1 June 2025, the cruise line will offer roundtrip voyages, with bookings available from 3 February.

This expansion into India's nascent cruise tourism landscape builds upon the company's established success in operating fly-cruise vacations across Singapore, Dubai and multiple Southeast Asian destinations.

The ship's deployment directly supports the government's Cruise Bharat Mission, and leverages the newly constructed Mumbai International Cruise Terminal.

"Mumbai is the main gateway to cruising in India and Indians will have the convenience of departing from their 'doorsteps', without the need to fly to another country,"said Michael Goh, President of Resorts World Cruises.
