A lot of first time cruisers choose an inside cabin (an internal cabin without a window) solely due to their budget or simply because they spend maximum time at the lounge, spa, deck or activity area and only require a room for sleep and changeover. However you will be surprised to know that there is normally a very small difference to upgrade to an oceanview cabin (cabin with a view). For a whole different experience think about upgrading to a balcony cabin or mini-suite. In life, few things are worth spending a little extra money on, and a cabin with a balcony or mini-suite is worth everything. Trust us!

Choice and availability are best when booked early. Oftentimes certain categories of cabins sell out; especially during peak seasons, so the sooner you can book the better.

Sailing aboard such beautiful cruise liners is no more only for those with deep pockets. The myth that cruising is only for rich people does not exist anymore. Cruising is very affordable today. In fact a positive characteristic of Jalesh Cruises is its relatively affordable cost. Leading prices for Jalesh cruise packages start from INR 10,000*. For instance; compare a Mumbai to Goa cruise against a non-all inclusive resort. On a cruise vacation, your meals, accommodations, entertainment, and most activities are included in the fare. Therefore, it's easy to stick to your budget. Plus, on a cruise you get to visit many different ports of call. Unpack once and settle in for a journey that takes you anywhere you want to go.

As you soak in the breathtaking view of the tranquil sea and experience the grandeur of India’s First Premium Luxury Cruise Ship, you’ll be treated to loads of surprises and delightful moments. The lucky guests can enjoy high-quality accommodation such as mini-suites, cabins with ocean view and balcony, interconnecting rooms; all featuring plenty of amenities, gourmet cuisines, live entertainment, broadway musicals, burlesque performance, a breathtaking pool deck, multiple spa treatments, exciting excursions, world-class service and much more all included. Though the best part about Jalesh cruises is the multicuisine gourmet food; from five, six and seven-course dinners down to the burger from the grill, khaman dhokla of Gujarat to the fiery Mumbai vadapav and pav bhaji, Delhi chaat to Kolkata rolls, Goan omelette pav to Chennai idli & dosa….everything you crave for from the Indian Street can be enjoyed at the high seas.

There are lots of entertainment activities, so wherever you may be on the ship you would not miss on the fun! It is just not possible to get bored on the ship because there is an activity almost every 15 minutes. Onboard entertainment includes broadway musicals, dance performances, magic shows, blockbuster movie screenings, stand-up comedy & much more. It also has exciting dedicated activities for kids and teenagers. You can spend time at the casino, dip into its pool, watch a movie at the theatre, visit the comedy club or their in-house musicals, flex your body at the fitness club or just lounge in the many bars when you’re not enjoying shore excursions. In fact, there are so many things to do while cruising that you will probably book a longer cruise next time.

The sea days are very relaxing with restaurants open all day and the opportunity to explore the ship. The choices are vast. For example; sunbathe on deck, indulge in a spa treatment, join in the entertainment programs, musicals or dance show and attend the comedy show for some moments of laughter. The casino, gym or shopping will all be at your fingertips.

This is solely up to you, however we highly recommend booking shore excursions with the cruise itself. A shore excursion arranged by your Jalesh cruise is a safe option, as the quality and service offered can be vouched for. If the tour is delayed the ship will wait for you before it set sail again. Doing your own local sightseeing can be exciting but risky, and you’ll have to pay close attention to time as the ship will not wait for you if you are running late.

Shore excursions give you a superb snapshot of the destination on your itinerary. These are always normally guided and can be a full or half day trip depending on your preference.

Night life is the main highlight of a cruise holiday. That’s when life onboard a cruise ship really turns on. There's dancing, live entertainment, broadway musicals, discos and lounges, casino, feature films, and parties with all loves ones as well as new friends. And the night can go on as long as you want. Even until the spectacle of sunrise at sea.
