Yamuna cruise to start next month, Delhi Minister in Navi Mumbai to inspect vessel

The cruise will operate upstream on the Yamuna river between Wazirabad and Sonia Vihar. It will be a hour-long round trip, with a capacity to accommodate 40 passengers at a time. Mishra said onboard facilities, such as music, entertainment and food services will be provided at affordable prices. Initially, both individual and group packages will be offered.

He added that the project is part of a broader plan to develop a recreation-and-leisure hub along the Yamuna. “This will not be limited to a cruise service. Water sports, recreational activities and a full-fledged leisure zone are also being planned at the cruise terminal. The objective is to provide an international luxury experience at affordable prices for the people of Delhi,” he said.

Mishra said the initiative would allow residents of Delhi to enjoy experiences similar to those available in popular tourist destinations, such as Goa, without having to travel outside the city.
