Cruises are stylish and appealing for their sheer exuberance. A well-framed photo atop the deck with the shiny blue hues of the sea in the backdrop could make for a viral Instagram post too. Yet the only thing stopping most of us from hopping aboard is the very lack of affordability of a cruise journey, until now that is. Here’s a look at some pocket-friendly cruises that make it possible to travel lavishly without breaking the bank. And the locations they cover will only make you want to book a cruise all the more sooner!
1. Mumbai to Goa
Amorous views of the Arabian Sea, an infinity pool at the rear end of the cruise ship, reading rooms, a well-equipped spa, express mani-pedi counters at the decks, and more leave little to imagination. Get all this for a night, at less than the price of a meal in a five-star hotel. Too sweet a deal, isn’t it?

Sailings: Daily between January and February
2. Singapore-Thailand-Vietnam and Back
Set sail from Singapore and enjoy the best of Thailand and Vietnam over a week’s period. As the cruise travels through Koh Samui, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City and back, you can feast on exotic dishes on board, like som tam salad and Vietnamese rice paper rolls. With spas, outdoor film screenings and other ways to indulge in self-love, this stellar offering is a perfect couple cruise and worth every buck!
