Get ready to dine on the Arabian Sea as Mumbai gets ready for its own version of Riviera

The cosmopolitan character of Mumbai has allowed it to be blessed with some of the finest attractions for
travellers, and now food travel finds new meaning here. Mumbai restaurants have dazzled travellers with their authentic tastes, culinary ethos, and now it is ready to host guests on its floating restaurants on the Arabian Sea.
The project has been taken up by Delhi-based businesswoman Shripriya Dalmia Thirani, as she has managed to secure a 15-year contract from Mumbai Port Trust. Thirani will now be able to operate restaurants on ships. This exciting opportunity for dining in Mumbai gets even better when you know that the ships had actually played host to Queen Elizabeth. Queensline Neverland and Queensline See Yah would be the largest floating restaurants in Mumbai, setting new standards for dining in India.

The floating restaurants would be set in front of two iconic locations of Mumbai, namely, The Gateway of India and Girgaum Chowpatty. The restaurant is set to open this October.
According to Shripriya, cruising is definitely one of the most important aspects of tourism business, and it gives passengers a different sense of travel. She envisions that foreigners and Indians would be able to sail from one end of Mumbai to another while dining at their desired deck. Of course, the most critical attraction here is the Mumbai skyline and the thrill of the sea.


Borrowing inspiration from the French and Italian Riviera, this ambitious project could very well be India’s answer to the iconic Riviera dining of Europe. The French and Italian Riviera are however much developed in terms of tourist attractions, with iconic cities, such as Cannes and Vernazza respectively, as part of their coastlines. This is a first step towards developing the Mumbai coastline, and might as well see as an improved infrastructure for travel in the future.

The floating restaurant is looking to bring the best chefs on-board to create a world-class restaurant that would enamour guests from across the world.
