Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm on the Valiant Lady during her dry dock and the crew had less than 2 weeks to go from demolition to Arya restaurant.

Every step of Arya has been meticulously curated to express the essence of the Indian culture.

Demolished the entire restaurant and built rebuilt an entire new one in 14 days.

This is such an old cuisine. It's such a beautiful cuisine.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Come on down to Arya restaurant when you get on board to experience the space itself.
