Cruise aggregator TIRUN Travel Marketing has partnered with Air India to launch integrated travel packages that combine flights and cruise holidays, offering Indian travellers a single, streamlined booking experience.

The partnership, which began in November, connects Air India and Air India Express flights with cruises from TIRUN’s extensive portfolio, the company announced in a statement.

In its initial phase, the collaboration will link both domestic and international flights to cruise itineraries covering destinations such as Singapore and Hong Kong, with future expansions planned for Sydney, Los Angeles, and several European ports.

“The Fly-Cruise programme bridges the gap between doorstep and deck by creating a single, seamless travel experience,” said Varun Chadha, CEO of TIRUN Travel Marketing. “With Air India’s vast connectivity and our world-class cruise offerings, we’re simplifying travel planning — a top priority for today’s travellers. Together, we’re redefining the way India travels and vacations.”

TIRUN Travel Marketing serves as the exclusive representative in India for Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, and Silversea Cruises, offering Indian travellers access to a range of premium cruise experiences.

The partnership is expected to make luxury cruise holidays more accessible by integrating air and sea itineraries, ensuring smoother transitions between flights and cruises while reducing travel time and logistical challenges for passengers.
