The demand for cruise tourism in India is steadily on the rise, and with more and more people now wanting to take the experience of travelling from Mumbai to Goa by Ship, this cruise has the potential to become one of the biggest attractions for both Mumbai and Goa.
On its first voyage, the MV Oceanlife however developed cracks in its hull, after which the passengers and crew were guided back safely to the Mormugao port, and the ship went for repairs.
There are no reports thereafter of the cruise services being started again.
So currently Mumbai-Goa cruises are not available.
