M.I.C.T. at Indira Dock is now India’s largest cruise terminal, built to modern global standards. With capacity for a million passengers, facilities for five large ships, and state-of-the-art amenities, it’s set to make Mumbai a global cruise hotspot.

The Mumbai International Cruise Terminal (MICT),

The scale of the terminal is impressive. Spread across 4.15 lakh square feet, MICT can handle up to 1 million passengers every year. On a daily basis, it is capable of processing nearly 10,000 to 15,000 travellers without congestion. For cruise operators, it offers berthing space for five large cruise ships at a time, accommodating vessels up to 300 meters in length with a draft of 11 meters. This makes it a true game-changer for both domestic and international cruise liners.

Beyond size and numbers, what makes MICT truly stand out is its passenger experience. The building is designed with modern, aesthetic architecture that reflects the sea - from wave-shaped ceilings to blue bench seating and wide glass panels offering sea views. With 72 immigration and check-in counters, the focus is on faster clearance and smooth travel. There is also parking for more than 300 vehicles, which is a huge plus in a city like Mumbai.

For travellers, the new terminal is more than just a point of departure or arrival. It is being developed as a hub for tourism, leisure, and shopping. Commercial floors inside the terminal will host restaurants, retail outlets, and lounges so that passengers can enjoy a comfortable waiting experience. The government envisions that this project will not only welcome cruise passengers but also create jobs, encourage local businesses, and significantly boost India’s share in global cruise tourism.

The inauguration of the Mumbai International Cruise Terminal is a major milestone. Just like airports transformed air travel in India, this terminal is expected to change the way people look at sea travel. Whether you are planning a luxury international cruise or a short coastal voyage within India, MICT is set to be the gateway for millions of memories on the sea.
