Heralding the days of hassle-free travel, a fleet of cruise boats has arrived on the shores of Kochi. These cruise ships would run services between Kochi and Kozhikode, and are expected to cover the distance in three hours. At present, a bus ride from Kochi to Kozhikode takes around 6 hours at least.
This service – called Safe Trip – that promises both hassle-less and leisure travel would be carried out by Tolins Group under the watch of the shipping department. The service is likely to begin during the Onam days. As many as 130 people can be accommodated in the boat that can travel at a speed of 60 km/hr. Ticket fare is likely to be Rs 1,000.
The boats have come all the way from Athens in Greece. One boat is said to cost around Rs 15 crore.
