Travelling on Cruise?

There are several cruises that pass through Indian ports of Cochin, Mangalore, Goa and Mumbai. These are all e-visa ports and in most cases you can use an e-visa if travelling by cruise to these ports. However certain cruise ports like Porbandar and not e-visa ports. Furthermore, depending on the route of the cruise liner between ports, you may be required to apply for a regular Indian visa and not an e-visa. Certain cruise liners are insistent that their guests apply for regular visa and not e-visa. Hence, we recommend you to contact the cruise company you are travelling with and confirm the type of visa they expect you to possess for your journey.
