India, with its 7,000 km long coastline, is all set to introduce cruises along them within a year, an official said.
'Within a year, cruises will operate along the coast of India to match those of Royal Caribbean,' said R.H. Kwaja, secretary, tourism ministry, at a conference here.
'India already has many riverboat cruises. But we are seeing great potential along the 7,000 km plus coast line of India. Very soon we will see the first seaborne cruise along the coast of India,' Kwaja added.
