Cordelia Cruises Plans Fleet Expansion to Boost India's Cruise Market by 2032
Cordelia Cruises plans to expand its fleet to boost domestic cruise tourism and aims to position India among the world's top five cruise markets by 2032. Currently operating two ships, the company expects to introduce a third vessel, Cordelia Sun, earlier than scheduled. Expansion will increase capacity and broaden itineraries, including domestic routes and international cruises to the Maldives and Sri Lanka. While rising fuel costs have impacted operations, the company remains profitable and cautious about disclosing future plans due to regulatory restrictions.
