The Oberoi M V Vrinda Cruise - Cochin
Wilingdon Island, Cochin - 682009, Kerala
The picturesque backwaters of Kerala are one of India’s most enchanting destinations. The cruise on M.V.Vrinda is a three nights itinerary and sets sail from Vembanad Lake jetty. It is located 45 kms from the city of Cochin, once the centre of the thriving spice trade and now the principal port on the Malabar coast. The city’s rich trading past is reflected in the Portuguese, Dutch and British influences evident in its architecture. The one hour journey from Cochin airport to the Vrinda jetty is done by an air-conditioned vehicle.
ACCOMMODATION: Luxury cabins: The Oberoi Motor Vessel Vrinda is an exclusive cruiser with eight tastefully appointed Luxury Cabins, all with king size beds and large picture windows overlooking the lake. Wake up to the backwaters almost at level with your view and feel the calmness while the world floats by.
The Cabins are elegantly designed with timber flooring. Each has its own private and well-appointed bathroom with shower. Each cabin is also provided with comfortable furniture, TV and DVD player and an electronic safe for guests’ peace of mind.
DINING: The upper deck houses a lounge and bar with panoramic views of the backwaters. The breakfast served on the sun deck at sunrise creates a magical ambience of peace and serenity. Enjoy a cup of traditional cardamom tea sitting on cushions or wicker chairs watching the tropical world float by.
Motor Vessel Vrinda can proudly boast of her International and South Indian cuisine. At each meal, the well-trained crew works with you to create a unique menu.
The area is rich with coconuts, bananas, rice, local freshwater fish like pearlspot and small red prawns called Chemmen, which make for innovative recipes like Meen Moily and Malabar fish curry. |
