About Paradise Cruises

Paradise Cruises is an enterprise that offers services in the fields of river cruises, boat rentals, water sports and adventure tourism. Owned and operated by professionals active in the fields of water transportation, salvage and underwater services, it was set up to provide guests with an insight into Goa's treasured waterways and marine resources while enjoying entertainment aboard our luxurious cruises.

Goa ranks high in the hearts of many as one of India's most beloved tourist destinations. With the status of industry conferred on tourism, the sector's development has increased by leaps and bounds. Along with miles of golden coastline, Goa has long and wide beautiful rivers and scenic lakes making it an ideal location for long and languid river cruises.

River cruises have become a major tourist attraction, giving a boost to the tourism industry and Paradise Cruises is leading the charge, way ahead of its competitors as well as the state-run cruises. We provide our customers with the best experience possible at the most affordable rates. Our motto is "FUN FOR EVERYONE".

Our first boat had a capacity of just 30 passengers.
Now, our largest boat has a capacity of 600.

Goa has been THE holiday destination in India for decades. People have been visiting from all over India and the world to relax and enjoy themselves with music song and dance. And since we were already in the water and boat business and had a keen understanding of the sea, we ventured into the world of river boat cruises.

So we bought an old wooden boat named Flor da rosa and modified it, lining it with fiberglass for a sleeker look, adding seats and a stage and giving it an overall makeover. An hour-long cultural program was decided upon, that included Goan folk dance performances, in order for the guests to get a glimpse into the cultural heritage of Goa, during which the boat would cruise along the river Mandovi playing live music.

Flor da rosa had a capacity of just 30 passengers. The boat cruises were operated from a small jetty which we built on the banks of the Mandovi river opposite the iconic Hotel Mandovi.

After a while, we upgraded to two 60 passenger boats that we acquired at a Government auction, and after five years of operation we decided to build our own boat to accommodate the growing demand for river cruises. Enter, Oceanica- a double-decker with a capacity of 200 passengers.

Another five years on, we decided to invest in an even bigger boat which had 3 decks and could hold 400 passengers so Paradise was built. And finally, owing to the last boom in tourism an even bigger boat called Paradise II was built, which at a capacity of 600 is our largest boat till date.
