Exclusive Kerala & Oberoi Vrinda Cruise

10 Days / 9 Nights from £3195/ $4154 per person

The Exclusive Kerala & Oberoi Vrinda Cruise is the ultimate way to experience this beautiful slice of south Indian tropical paradise and offers accommodation in some of Kerala’s finest boutique retreats – including an award-winning luxury boat on the backwaters. This privately chauffeured luxury Kerala tour begins in Cochin, where you will spend two nights at Chittoor Kottaram – a charming boutique 19th century royal residence. Next, head into the stunning Kerala backwaters where you will board the luxurious Oberoi MV Vrinda, a motor-vessel regarded as the Queen of Backwaters. Then, cruise in style slowly through this idyllic picturesque network of palm-fringed lakes and canals before checking-in at Vismaya – a gorgeous, private two-bedroom villa that enjoys a magical setting on the edge of tranquil Lake Vembanad. The next stage of the luxury Kerala tour takes you to Kovalam close to the southernmost point of India, with three lazy nights on the shores of the Indian Ocean at the Relais & Châteaux listed Niraamaya Surya Samudra, the perfect way to wrap up this unique luxury Kerala holiday.
