The cruise will operate a 14-day voyage across Southeast Asia, departing from Visakhapatnam and first sailing to Chennai. The ship will halt in Chennai for two days, allowing passengers time in the city before continuing the journey into international waters.
From there, the itinerary includes stops at Phuket in Thailand, Langkawi and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, and Singapore. The sailing also includes designated sea days between destinations, when the ship remains at sea as part of the voyage schedule.
