Your palm-fringed backwaters cruise is on a private houseboat that is a traditional thatched craft typical of this area, where these boats have been plying the waterways for centuries, connecting villages and transporting rice, spices, and other goods. Gently cruising through scenic backwaters and village areas, you'll marvel at lush vegetation, paddy fields, coconut palms, and other noteworthy sights. At lunchtime time you'll enjoy a delicious and typical Keralan meal freshly prepared at a farmhouse.

After completing your cruise, you'll be transferred back to the pier with plenty of time to spare before your ship's departure.

Please Note: A tourist visa is required to debark in India. Cruise lines do not usually provide this visa; therefore, you will need to obtain one prior to your cruise.
