PANAJI: West Indian state Goa, one of the most sought after holiday destinations in the country, now has luxury cruise boats for tourists.
For the first time, motorized cruise boats have been introduced in River Mandovi, a major river in the coastal state, for commercial use.
“Though private players have their own cruise boats for several years, we have introduced the same service for general tourists comprising middle class families,” Bhargav Desai, managing director of state-based Desai Voyages, said.
“The concept is to show other side of Goa which is not beaches,” Desai said.
Tourists can now charter a boat and spend time cruising the river line which has on its bank several villages, Old Goa heritage monuments and islands.
The company has launched open deck and open lounge boats which are ideal for a group, while main attraction is luxury boats which are ideal for honeymoon couples, he added. -PTI
