Day 3: Cochin, India

The ship arrives at Cocchin port at 08:00 and departs at 18:00

Cochin is the most important port on the Malabar coast, in South-Western India, and the most populous city in Kerala. It’s divided into three areas: Fort Cochin, is the oldest part on the Mattancherry peninsula, Ernakulam is the modern part of the city, and Willingdon, an artificial island built in 1920 with dredged material. The Cochin stop will be truly memorable: the multicultural past of the region is attested to by the Portuguese and Dutch styles, recognisable just by walking through the streets of Mattancherry and visiting the shrines of various religions: Shiva, the Paradesi Synagogue, the Santa Cruz Basilica and the Church of St Francis.

Not to be missed: The picturesque Carlais of Cochin, visit to the Dutch Palace, the Santa Cruz Cathedral

Day 4: Agatti Islands, India

The ship arrives at Agatti port at 09:00 and departs at 19:00

Agatti Island is a 7.6 km long island, situated on a coral atoll called Agatti atoll in the Union Territory of Lakshadweep, India. It is 459 km west of the city of Kochi.

Although not big compared to other islands, Agatti Island is not less than any other island in terms of amazing views. Surrounded by the cerulean blue ocean enriched with coral reefs, turtles, different species of colourful fishes, and pearl white sandy beaches, Agatti Island is another jewel from the collections of Lakshadweep Island.

Bombay, or Mumbai, is India's second largest city, built on a peninsula jutting out into the Arabian Sea. The economy is well developed due to the presence of head offices of large Indian companies and the maritime harbour, where the goods arrive. The stop in Bombay offers many surprises: absolutely unmissable are visits to the Elephant Caves and the Bandra Worli Sea Link viaduct. We also recommend a visit to the hanging gardens and a walk to Kamla Nehru Park. It will be an unforgettable experience.
