The Costa Cruises has deployed its ship, Costa neoRiviera which will begin its first journey from Mumbai to Cochin and Maldives. The built-in infrastructure on the ship makes it particularly easy for groups to hold large events in one location. The classic cruises ship has a total of 654 cabins including sea view cabin suites with private balconies. Around 670 crew members are there to attend approximately 1,700 passengers. - Photos: Paul Noronha
