India's first cruise ship, Chennai flagged AMET Majesty will make calls on Colombo and Trincomalee ports when it begins high seas cruises in June.

AMET Cruises had bought the 35-year old ship off a Greek firm, Hindubusinessline said.
AMET Majesty will operate regular service covering India and Sri Lanka.

It will also offer other locations such as locations in Asia such as Anadaman, Phuket, Mumbai, Goa, Lashdweep, Kochi, and Maldives.
AMET is targeting 80,000 odd Indians who go on cruises each year mostly from Singapore.
The report quoted P Bharathi, chief executive of AMET Cruises as saying that the firm was in talks with the ports of Chennai, Kochi, Mormugao and Mumbai for berthing the ship.
Three cruise terminals are being planned at Mormugao, Mumbai and Kochi.
