Cordelia Cruise Mumbai to Goa: Price, Cabins & Booking (2026)
Short answer: the Cordelia cruise Mumbai to Goa starts from around ₹19,999 per person (interior cabin, double occupancy) for the 2 Nights / 3 Days round-trip sailing in 2026.

Prices are indicative and move with sailing date and demand, so treat this as a starting point and let us confirm the live fare for your weekend.
I'll be honest. I went into my first short Indian cruise expecting a glorified ferry. What I got instead was a floating weekend party with a casino, a sundowner deck, and a morning in Goa thrown in. If you want a quick break that feels like a holiday without the airport queues, this is one of the easiest ways to do it from Mumbai. Below you'll find the real numbers, the cabin breakdown, and exactly what the Goa day looks like.
How much is the Cordelia cruise Mumbai to Goa price in 2026?

What's included, and what costs extra
The sticker price covers a lot more than people assume. Your fare on the ship "Empress" already includes the big stuff, so you won't be nickel-and-dimed for the basics. Still, a few things sit outside the package, and it pays to know which.
Included in your fare:
- Your cabin for both nights aboard
- All buffet meals, plus most casual dining venues
- Live shows, music, and the onboard theatre
- Casino access, the nightclub, and the pool deck
- Kids' zone and daytime activities
Costs extra:
- Specialty dining (think Asian or fine-dining venues): roughly ₹1,500–3,000 per head
- Your shore excursion or transport once you dock in Goa
- Alcoholic beverages and premium drinks packages
- Gratuities, spa treatments, and paid games
So yes, you can sail on the base fare and still eat well, swim, gamble a little, and dance till late. But budget a bit extra if a fancy dinner or a few drinks is your idea of a holiday. Mine usually is, no judgement here.
The Goa day: what you actually do in port
This is the part that sells the trip. After your first night at sea, the ship docks for a day at Goa, and that morning in port is what turns a cruise into a proper getaway. You'll have a window of several hours ashore before the ship sails back to Mumbai that evening.
What can you fit in? Plenty, if you plan. Some travellers grab a taxi to the North Goa beaches like Calangute or Baga for a quick swim and a beach-shack lunch. Others do a heritage loop through Old Goa, taking in the Basilica of Bom Jesus and the white-washed churches. If you'd rather not rush, a relaxed café crawl in Panjim's Fontainhas quarter is a lovely, low-effort way to spend the morning.
My advice? Don't try to cram in everything. You've got a few hours, not a full Goa trip. Pick one thing, do it well, and get back to the ship with time to spare. Missing the sailing because you lingered over one more feni is a story you don't want to tell. For travellers who want more time on land, the longer route is a better fit, which brings me to a quick comparison.
Goa weekend cruise vs the longer Lakshadweep sailing
People often ask which Cordelia route to pick. It comes down to time and budget. The Goa run is the short, affordable party weekend, two nights and you're home. By contrast, the longer Lakshadweep cruise is a 5N/6D escape with lagoons, reefs, and far more island time, at a higher price point.
Pick Goa if you want a low-cost, high-energy break, a bachelor or bachelorette weekend, or a first taste of cruising before committing to a longer voyage. Choose Lakshadweep if your priority is pristine beaches and snorkelling, and you have the days to spare. Both sail from Mumbai, so the starting line is the same; only the finish line differs.
Cabin types explained: which one to pick
On a two-night sailing, your cabin matters less than it would on a week-long cruise, because honestly, you'll spend most waking hours on the decks. That said, here's how I'd choose.
The interior stateroom is the smart pick for budget travellers and party crews who only use the room to sleep and change. No window, but who's staring at walls when there's a nightclub downstairs? The sea-view cabin adds a porthole or window, which is nice for waking up to the ocean. A balcony is the sweet spot for couples; that private deck for a morning coffee or a sundowner is genuinely lovely. And the mini suite suits groups or anyone who values elbow room and a bit of extra polish.
One practical tip: if you're a group of friends, book a couple of mini suites rather than scattering across interiors. You'll have a base to gather, pre-game, and stash your bags. It works out more social, and sometimes cheaper per head than you'd think.
Best time to sail and how to get the cheapest fare
The cheapest cordelia cruise mumbai to goa fares usually show up on weekday-adjacent sailings and in the shoulder months, away from peak holiday weekends. Long weekends, Diwali, New Year, and the December school break command premium pricing, so if you're flexible, shift a week either side and watch the fare drop.
A few money-saving habits that actually work:
- Book early. The lowest cabin allocations sell first, especially interiors.
- Travel as a group. Quad occupancy or group rates often beat double-occupancy pricing per person.
- Skip the premium drinks package if you're a light drinker, and pay per glass instead.
- Watch for limited-period offers, which we pass on to you the moment they land.
Weather-wise, the sea is calmest outside the peak monsoon months, so the cruise season generally runs from the post-monsoon window into spring. For the official line on the operator, the Cordelia Cruises website lists the current fleet and routes.
