Much like the automobile, cruise ships come in numerous different brands
From the few basic options of the past to the wide array of brands available on the market today, the Indian automobile industry has seen impressive growth in recent years.
Likewise, the cruising industry has grown from humble beginnings into a global travel behemoth, with over 50 brands available to Indian travellers today. Each offers a variety of vessels and itineraries to cater to a specific market niche.
Although all cruise ships appear similar to the untrained eye, each has a unique style. So in much the same way we categorise our car makers, we must also classify our cruise lines. Understanding their subtle differences is the key to having a fantastic time on board. And Tierra will help you with exactly that.
