Cochin is now at the center of cruise activity in India. In the current financial year nearly 40 cruise ships stopped over for a day or two for a date with the Queen of The Arabian Sea. By the end of this financial year Kochi would have received 47 cruise ships. That would be the highest Kochi has seen!

The good news is that for the year 2010-11 already 35 ships have confirmed a stop over. Authorities hope to hit the magic number 50 for 2010-11.
