Off Shore Cruise
Cochin, strategically located in Kerala, spans both mainland and island areas that reach into Lake Vembanad, India’s largest wetland. Renowned for its natural harbour, Cochin has served as a pivotal trading hub since ancient times. This harbour not only facilitated trade with other parts of India but also attracted European colonial powers such as the Portuguese, Dutch, and British, each leaving their architectural and cultural imprints on the city. Cochin's harbour is celebrated for its deep waters and sheltered anchorage, making it ideal for maritime activities ranging from spice trading in antiquity to modern-day shipping and fishing industries. This historic port continues to play a vital role in Kerala's economy and remains a vibrant center of cultural exchange, reflecting its rich and diverse heritage.
