It will then arrive in Marseilles, where the guests will enjoy the day of excursions around town before bringing in the evening celebrations. The day after that, the cruise will set a course towards Cannes, where, on board the ship anchored in the bay, the marriage will be celebrated. The cruise will end on the 9th of April at Savona.

Four days of festivities will be held in true “Bollywood” style, which will be executed by India’s leading wedding planners- Wedniksha and will bring together over 1,000 guests, including show business stars and personalities primarily from India and the Arab Emirates.

We are truly delighted and honoured that the Sajan family has chosen Costa Cruises and this is further confirmation of the global appreciation of Italian style and quality.
