SEA QUEEN
Kochi had a royal visitor last month.
The cruise liner - until recently the largest in the world, and still the longest- is going around the world, in 80 days.
Kochi was one of the 20 destinations on the cruise. Freedom of the seas, as the largest ocean liner, it still holds many other records.
The liner boasts of the first planetarium at sea, the first suites with private lift access, the largest library at sea, the largest ballroom with the largest dance floor, the longest jogging track and the most extensive wine cellar at sea.
Many visitors preferred to go on the famous backwater cruises, while other shopped.
It is estimated that the passengers spent a whopping Rs 2.5 crore in the 24 hours that the ship was anchored here.
Kochi has become the favourite port call for cruise vessels.
As many as 32 cruise liners have berthed at the port since the beginning of the tourist season.
