Visakhapatnam-Kakinada sea cruise
If everything goes according to plans, the much-hyped Vizag-Kakinada sea cruise will be operational in the next few weeks. Officials from the tourism department are currently studying the viabilities of the project and a trial run was held about a week ago from Kakinada to Vizag.
A 40-seater glass-domed ship will be introduced and the fare of the cruise will be higher than the existing fare of both bus and train, the officials said. The sea route distance between Vizag and Kakinada is nearly 70 nautical miles or 130 kilometres.
The jetty at the lighthouse of Kakinada port at Uppada will accommodate the cruise liners in Kakinada while the slipway passenger jetty of Visakhapatnam Port Trust near Fishing Harbour will anchor the vessel locally.
R Sreeramulu Naidu, executive director of AP Tourism Development Corporation (APTDC) for Visakhapatnam, said the Vizag-Kakinada sea cruise will be one of the first such projects taken up by the corporation in the state. Till date, the corporation operates river cruises, he said, hoping that the cruise would attract tourists to the blue waters of Bay of Bengal and the panoramic beauty of Konaseema and Eastern Ghats.
Naidu further said apart from the Vizag-Kakinada sea cruise, the corporation also plans to run a passenger ship from Rushikonda beach to the deep sea as part of the beach tourism plan. "The trial runs and studies for the both Rushikonda-deep sea tour and Vizag to Kakinada cruise are almost complete. The projects will be operational soon," Naidu added.
On the other hand, a senior official from tourism department said the Vizag-Kakinada sea cruise could have been operational by this time but that it was delayed due to the strong opposition from the fishermen at Fishing Harbour where the slipway jetty is located. The fishermen believed the tourism ship would spoil their livelihood by imposing restrictions, the official said.

Visakhapatnam has dependably had a unique place in my heart. Amid adolescence, I have spent the greater part of my mid year get-aways at Visakhapatnam with my relatives.

Hi
ReplyDeleteVisakhapatnam's history stretches back to the 6th century BCE, when it was considered a part of the Kalinga Kingdom, and later ruled by the Vengi, the Pallava and Eastern Ganga dynasties.[15] Archaeological records suggest that the present city was built around the 11th and 12th centuries with control over the city fluctuating between the Chola Dynasty and the Gajapati Kingdom,[16][17] until its conquest by the Vijayanagara Empire in the 15th century. Conquered by the Mughals in the 16th century, European powers eventually set up trading interests in the city, and by the end of the 18th century it had come under French rule. Control passed to the British in 1804 and it remained under British colonial rule until India's independence in 1947.
