Interesting idea. Though I am not sure whether the idea is financially feasible. Cruise trips are popular and affordable in the US. Who knows, perhaps a couple of years down the line they might catch on in India. Imagine a cruise trip from Puri to Chittagong or Puri to Yangon (Myanmar). Orissa should definitely find ways to take advantage of it’s huge coastline.

I think the target population here is people from West Bengal. They love to travel and they love to come to Puri. So if the cruise service is well designed it might fly.
