Short version: fares start at roughly ₹16,000 to ₹20,000 per person for a two-night interior cabin, and climb from there depending on your cabin, the route, and when you sail. Taxes, gratuities and TCS are charged on top. And yes, before you ask, Cordelia is very much still sailing in 2026. The line is not shut down. It is actually expanding. This guide breaks down the real numbers by cabin and route, flags the costs that hide behind the headline fare, and shows you where to check live prices before you pay.

Cordelia cruise price per person in 2026
Fares are quoted per person on twin-sharing, meaning two guests share one cabin. Here is the rough spread by cabin type and trip length. These are indicative ranges pulled from booking aggregators, not fixed quotes.
| Cabin type | 2–3 nights (per person) | 4–5 nights (per person) |
|---|---|---|
| Interior (no window) | ₹16,000 – 33,000 | ₹25,000 – 58,000 |
| Ocean View | ₹20,000 – 35,000 | ₹30,000 – 75,000 |
| Balcony / Mini Suite | ₹26,000 – 55,000 | ₹37,000 – 1,10,000 |
| Suite | ₹45,000+ | ₹1,00,000 – 2,50,000+ |
A word of caution. Prices here are before taxes, TCS and gratuities. The low end usually reflects off-peak or promotional sailings, and the top end is peak season or a premium route like Lakshadweep. Want the only numbers I can call authoritative? Cordelia's own booking engine has quoted a four-night Kochi–Lakshadweep–Goa sailing from ₹61,638 per person on twin-sharing, and another route from ₹77,010. Everything else is a guide.
Cordelia cruise price by route
The route matters as much as the cabin. A weekend hop to Goa is cheap. A week out to Lakshadweep or the Maldives is not. Rough starting fares, per person:

| Mumbai – Goa | 2 | ₹16,000 – 35,000 |
| Mumbai – high seas (weekend) | 2–3 | ₹16,000 – 30,000 |
| Kochi – Lakshadweep – Goa | 4 | ₹61,638 (official example) |
| Mumbai – Lakshadweep | 4–5 | ₹75,000 – 1,15,000 |
| Chennai – Sri Lanka | 3–5 | ₹30,000 – 70,000 |
| Kochi – Maldives | 5–6 | ₹1,50,000 – 2,50,000 |
Doing the Mumbai to Lakshadweep run specifically? We break that one down cabin by cabin in our Cordelia Mumbai to Lakshadweep price guide.
What the fare includes
The ticket is close to all-inclusive for the essentials. You pay once, and most of your day is covered.
- Your cabin and the sea passage itself.
- All buffet meals, breakfast through dinner, plus midnight snacks.
- Non-alcoholic drinks at the buffet: water, tea, coffee, juice.
- Entertainment. Live shows, music, DJ nights, the lot.
- Pool, jacuzzi, gym and the kids' club.
- Casino entry is free, though anything you spend inside is not.
What costs extra (the part people forget)
This is where the real bill creeps up, so read it before you budget. None of the following sit inside that headline fare.
- Gratuities: about USD 12 per person per night, paid on board. On a four-night trip for two, that alone is close to ₹8,000.
- Port charges and taxes: customs, dockage, immigration and the rest. These vary by itinerary.
- TCS and GST: Tax Collected at Source and GST are added at checkout and are not trivial.
- Alcohol: beer, wine and cocktails are all charged separately.
- Extras: specialty dining, WiFi, spa treatments and shore excursions.
The real out-the-door cost: a worked example
Say a couple books a two-night interior cabin at ₹20,000 each. The cruise line quotes you ₹40,000 and it looks sorted. It isn't, quite. Add gratuities of roughly ₹4,000 for the two of you, then port charges, TCS and GST, and a couple of drinks. Realistically you are looking at ₹50,000 to ₹55,000 out the door, not ₹40,000. Not a scam, just the way cruise pricing works. Budget for the extras and there are no nasty surprises at the gangway.

Why do the price quotes vary so wildly?
Fair question. Search "Cordelia cruise price" and one site swears a two-night interior is ₹15,999 while the next insists it's ₹35,000. Both can't be typical. The honest answer is that cruise fares are dynamic, like flight tickets. They move with the date, the demand, the season and whatever promo is live that week. Most "ticket price" pages online are just repeating old numbers. The only figure that is true is the one on the booking engine for your exact sailing, on the day you book. So use this page to understand the shape of the pricing, then confirm the real fare at the source.
Best time to book for a lower fare
Timing helps. A lot, actually.
- Peak season runs October to February, plus every festive sailing around Diwali, Christmas and New Year. Fares can sit 20 to 40 percent higher.
- Weekend and Friday departures cost more than mid-week ones, usually 15 to 20 percent more.
- The monsoon shoulder months are the quietest, and the cheapest.
- Book early. Cabins genuinely sell out, and the interior cabins go first.
New ships are coming: Cordelia Sky and Sun
One reason the "is Cordelia still running?" question keeps popping up is that the line has been quiet, then suddenly loud. Here's the current picture. Cordelia runs a single ship today, the Cordelia Empress. Two more are on the way: the Cordelia Sky, expected around October 2026, and the Cordelia Sun, targeted for late 2027. Both are former Norwegian Cruise Line vessels. Worth noting, those dates are announced plans and could slip, so don't book a 2026 Sky sailing until it's actually listed.
