Being cramped up in spaces with no leg-room for up to six hours can be a torturous affair and can be especially challenging in long-duration flights. For now there is some respite for travellers who can scoop out a sizeable amount and some time for such journeys. Vikings Ocean Cruises is bringing two international cruises to and from Mumbai – Mumbai to Bangkok and Athens to Mumbai.
