Chennai: The SuperStar Gemini, luxury cruise liner with a passenger capacity of 1,530, will provide the thrill of traveling by the sea, when it hosts around 1,000 corporate travellers on February 8, 2017.
This biggest attraction of two-night cruise sailing - Singapore-Malaysia-Singapore, will offer a unique experience. ARK Travels, a Preferred Sales Agent (PSA) for Star Cruises in India, will charter SuperStar Gemini, to host the corporate travellers. “Charter cruises have grown popular within short passage of time. Large corporate groups charter the cruises to enjoy their leisure time. We will continue innovating our services and this year’s sailing is the replica of last year’s sailing wherein we took Bollywood celebrities to experience the delight offered at SuperStar Gemini. For the corporate groups sailing with us this time, it will be an entertaining cruise sailing,” an official of ARK Travels said.
Cruise travel has emerged as one of the latest trend for all segments of travellers including the corporate travellers, families or honeymooners. The demand for cruise travel has increased for every segment over the years. The demand from Indian travellers for cruise sailing has resulted in drawing the attention of various international cruise brands to Indian ports.
“During last year’s charter sailing, we had a booking of around 500 cabins and this year we are expecting to supersede those numbers with about 450 cabins booked already. Also, for the Norwegian Cruise Line sailing in May and June, the numbers have reached to approximate 300 bookings for Alaska and Mediterranean cruise vacations. All in all there is an upward trend and we are extremely positive about it and hope to maintain the same in future,” says Anju Tandon, CEO, ARK Travels.
