A new 600-passenger luxury cruise vessel has been launched on the Narmada River at Ekta Nagar near Gujarat’s Statue of Unity. The 30-metre vessel includes dining space for 250 guests and a stage for performances. Designed as a sightseeing and floating events venue, it can host corporate gatherings, cultural programmes, celebrations and private functions. Commercial operations will begin after required statutory approvals and safety clearances, expanding tourism experiences around the destination.
