World’s priciest cruise to visit Mumbai in 2027

Regent Seven Seas Cruises has announced a world journey that is already being described as a voyage for the very few. The World of Splendor cruise will set sail from Miami on January 11, 2027 and continue for 141 nights across six continents.

Among its many ports, the ship will dock in Mumbai on April 18-19, giving the city a brief but remarkable moment in the spotlight

Prices begin at around ₹7 crore per guest, a figure that has drawn global attention. The ship’s most exclusive accommodation, the Regent Suite, comes in at nearly ₹6.8 crore per person. It includes a private spa, a Steinway piano, and terraces with heated plunge pools. Every suite on board has an ocean view, and the ship itself is limited to 746 guests — a deliberate choice to preserve a sense of space and calm.

The Seven Seas Splendor has long been regarded as one of the most refined vessels at sea. It combines the polish of a private residence with the discipline of fine hospitality. Inside, Italian marble sits beside custom glasswork and original art collected from across Europe. Dining spans several restaurants, each led by chefs who draw from the regions visited during the journey. The atmosphere is quiet, precise, and deeply attentive without ever feeling overstated.

Mumbai’s addition to the itinerary marks a significant moment for India’s place in global cruising. The new Mumbai International Cruise Terminal, completed in 2025, has allowed the port to receive ships of this calibre. Passengers will be able to explore the city’s colonial architecture, its coastline, and its markets before the ship continues towards Oman.

Across the voyage, guests will visit 71 ports and 73 UNESCO-listed sites. There are 486 guided excursions in total, covering a mix of old trading ports, tropical islands, and ancient capitals.

When the Seven Seas Splendor reaches Mumbai in 2027, it will be more than a luxury liner arriving at harbour. It will signal how travel by sea has changed — slower, more detailed, and built for those who see the world as something to be experienced at length rather than rushed through.
