Welcome to the Heritage Cruise.

We have a very special time in store for you. A programme that you will find educational and relaxing, stimulating and rewarding. Come and spend a magical forenoon with us at an enchanting countryside where time stands still. An early morning boat cruise in the Kerala backwaters is an incredible and exhilarating experience indeed. Join us on a voyage of discovery and experience the magic of the backwaters! You will see sights that few would have seen before.


The backwaters of Kerala are a unique eco-system, unrivalled in scenic splendour, cultural diversity and sheer serendipity. It is no wonder that the National Geographic Traveler has described Kerala as ‘one of the 50 must-see destinations of a lifetime.’

Most visitors to the backwaters are content with staying in a waterfront resort or travelling around in houseboats. While these are pleasant enough, there is no doubt they are missing out on certain fascinating aspects of life in the backwaters- aspects which can only be presented to you by experts who know the place well...

And this is precisely what we at Tranquil Cruises, pioneers in the field, seek to do. We now offer you our spectacular 'Heritage Cruise', custom-built and specially designed for the discerning traveller, who dislikes being herded around on whistle-stop tours which are more often than not, an insult to the individuality and personality of the visitor. Our Heritage Cruise is tailor-made for the fastidious visitor, who prefers to make a quick but meaningful tour into the interior of the backwater country. Our Cruise is just the right combination of all things. The duration is neither too long nor too short. Our boat is fast, but not too fast. Small enough to maneuver through the often narrow canals, yet large enough for the comfort of the passengers! And above all, it offers visitors a unique and unforgettable exposure to the world of the backwaters.
