Big One, On The Move

The grandeur of this cruise totally deserves its grand name, Big Daddy. After its launch in May 2019, the cruise casino scene in Goa got a brand new jewel in its crown. This huge ship covers 50,000 square foot with five levels and is located at Captain of Ports Jetty in Panjim. The ground floor is filled with roulette tables and everything else a grand gaming hall should have. The second level is dedicated to high stakes gaming and third level is reserved for VIP gaming and is called ‘Daddy’s Club.’ You can enjoy some extra luxe treatment at lounge Hazoor and buffet hall Aisho-Rum. The cruise also organises more than 25 entertainment programs with instrumentalists, vocalists, belly dancers and many more. The ambience of the cruise is all about mirrored walls, trippy carpets and humongous chandeliers.

Really Royale

Deltin Royale, one of the most luxurious off-shore casinos in Asia, is 87 metres long and 22 metres wide. On the five floors, there are 123 gaming tables, an exclusive room for Teen Patti, one massive dedicated poker, a multi-cuisine restaurant, an entertainment area and many other such facilities. If you feel like splurging, you can get the VIP access and enjoy the famous whiskey lounge with its single malts and hand-rolled cigars. You can play all casino games such as Roulette, Baccarat, Mini Flush, Casio war, slot machines and Texas Hold’em Poker. There is also a Sky Bar, a rooftop deck which has a great variety of cocktails to offer. To reach the cruise, you will have to take a boat from Noah’ Ark and begin your luxurious cruise vacation.

Gaming Pride

Floating on the Mandovi river, this cruise casino has a 10,000 square feet long weather deck which is famous for hosting parties for premium customers. The interiors are embellished with gold ceilings, which gives it a larger than life look. The cruise can take more than 500 guests at a time and there are 40 gaming tables for placing bets. Every floor has its own bar so you never have your glass empty. This casino might not be as huge as the Delta Royale but it’s also spread over 30,000 square feet and provides the almost-Vegas vibe. This also holds big poker tournaments and offers Bollywood-style live acts in its entertainment package. You can very well take your kids along with you on this cruise ship, as it is equipped with a kids zone with interesting games to keep them entertained.
