“Indian travellers increasingly prefer shorter 3–5-night cruise holidays that are easy to plan and closer to home,” said Vinu Vijay, Co-Founder & Head of Operations of Int2Cruises.
Int2Cruises, cruise online travel platform, has been appointed as the Indian sales agent by Aroya Cruises, Saudi Arabia’s homegrown cruise line. The partnership strengthens Int2Cruises portfolio of global cruise offerings and introduces Indian travellers to a new cruise region spanning the Red Sea, the Arabian Gulf and select Mediterranean routes.
Commenting on the partnership, Vinu Vijay, Co-Founder & Head of Operations of Int2Cruises, said, “Our data shows that Indian travellers increasingly prefer shorter 3–5-night cruise holidays that are easy to plan and closer to home. The convenience of short-haul sailings, combined with immersive onboard and destination experiences, is driving this shift. Aroya cruises adds a strong new option to this demand, expanding itinerary choices with culturally rich sailings across Saudi Arabia and the Red Sea, alongside existing regional favourites.”
Developed under Cruise Saudi, Aroya cruises flagship ship features 19 decks, a guest capacity of 4,764, and offers experience including 12 restaurants, 17 lounges, a dedicated water park and 20 entertainment venues. The cruise operates a range of itineraries catering to varied travel preferences, including 3–7 Arabian Gulf sailings, 3–5-night Red Sea itineraries departing from Jeddah, covering destinations across Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, and Sharm El Sheikh, as well as select 7-night Mediterranean sailings.
For Indian travellers, Int2Cruises’ association with Aroya Cruises expands access to short-haul, culturally immersive and experience-led cruise holidays, aligning closely with evolving travel preferences from the Indian-market.
