TIRUN Travel Marketing has announced a strategic partnership with Air India to introduce integrated packages combining flights and cruises. This initiative will offer Indian travellers a seamless journey connecting Air India and Air India Express flights with cruise holidays from the TIRUN portfolio.
The collaboration, which formally commenced in November, marks another step toward simplifying international cruise vacations for Indian travellers. By integrating domestic and international flight connections with cruise itineraries to destinations such as Singapore and Hong Kong (initially), and with plans to expand to Sydney, Los Angeles, and destinations across Europe, the program ensures end-to-end convenience, from a traveller’s home city to the embarkation port and back.
The initiative reflects the growing appetite among Indian travellers for curated, all-inclusive experiences that merge air travel and leisure seamlessly. With both partners focused on delivering world-class journeys, the program complements India’s rapidly evolving outbound travel landscape. It also empowers travel agents and tour operators across the country with a ready-to-market, air-inclusive cruise product, reducing logistical complexities and expanding the reach of international cruise vacations.
Speaking on this partnership, Varun Chadha, CEO, TIRUN Travel Marketing, said, “The Fly-Cruise program bridges the gap between doorstep and deck by creating a single, seamless travel experience. With Air India’s extensive connectivity and our world-class cruise portfolio, we’re making travel planning simpler- a top priority on today’s traveller’s wish list. Together, we continue to add value to the way India travels and vacations.”
The initiative represents a forward-looking approach to experiential travel, one that blends convenience, connectivity, and the spirit of exploration for India’s next generation of global travellers.
Travellers can book their Fly-Cruise journeys through TIRUN and its extensive distribution network, choosing their preferred cruise itinerary and connecting from their home city via Air India flights directly to their cruise embarkation port.
