Cruise Ship ‘Seven Seas Voyager’ Spotted Off Fort Kochi Beach – A Memorable Sighting

As a shipspotting enthusiast and content creator based in Kochi, it's always a thrill to witness a grand cruise ship sailing close to shore. On this particular day, I was lucky to spot and film the elegant Seven Seas Voyager (IMO: 9247144), a luxury cruise liner flagged under the Bahamas, as it approached the Cochin Port through the Arabian Sea.

From my vantage point near Fort Kochi Beach, I captured both video footage and still images of the ship’s arrival. The weather was clear, and the ocean calm, making for a perfect backdrop.

The video shows the Seven Seas Voyager gradually appearing on the horizon and sailing towards Cochin Port through the international shipping channel. You can see several local fishing trawlers and small boats sharing the same waters, highlighting the diverse maritime activity off Kochi’s coast.
