Cordelia Cruises announced a strategic partnership with SanKash, a travel SAAS platform that facilitates flexible payment choices to offer guests a “Sail Now and Pay Later” service.

Oneel Verma, COO at Cordelia Cruises said: “Cruising, despite being a fairly new travel option in India, has created a positive imprint in the travel, tourism and hospitality industry in the past one year. Cordelia Cruises has witnessed an encouraging response and continues to grow.

“However, it is still considered an aspiration for several from varied socio-economic backgrounds. Having associated with SanKash makes cruising significantly more accessible and approachable for all. Having to pay in six easy installments with no interest is a step closer to going on your dream vacation without having to worry about spending a large part of your savings. We are pleased to collaborate with SanKash to make cruising a viable option for many.”

According to a statement, Cordelia Cruises’ guests can now sail first and pay later with zero percent interest spread over a period of six months. No down payment is required which makes the entire travel experience much easier.

Akash Dahiya, co-founder of SanKash said: “We are delighted to partner with Cordelia Cruises, to introduce the concept of ‘Sail Now and Pay Later’ in India. Cruises are seeing a surge in demand of late and India is a major contributor to this growth, globally. Driven by the rise in demand and high disposable incomes, the market has the potential to grow by ten times over the next decade.”
