YouTube Video Description

Today on Travels with the Russells, our Celebrity Millennium Asia cruise continues with Day Two in Cochin (Kochi), Kerala, India — and this time we’re finally out exploring. After the challenges of arrival day, today is all about discovery. We join an organised ship’s tour to see the real Cochin, taking in centuries of culture, faith, history and everyday life — all at a relaxed pace that suits us perfectly. On this tour we visit: Shree Manuman Kovil – a colourful and atmospheric Hindu temple Santa Cruz Cathedral Basilica – one of India’s most historic churches Dhobi Khana – traditional outdoor laundry washing in action Chinese Fishing Nets – Cochin’s most iconic shoreline sight Fort Kochi – colonial streets, heritage buildings and coastal views A female-run cooperative gift shop supporting local women David Hall Art Gallery – where we finish with tea and cake in Fort Kochi This is the kind of travel we love — walking, learning, people-watching, history, and coastal scenery rather than lying on a beach. As senior travellers, we really appreciate seeing a destination properly, without rushing or heat exhaustion. If you’re cruising to India, Kerala, or Cochin, or sailing on Celebrity Millennium, this video gives you a clear idea of what a ship-organised tour is really like and whether it’s worth doing. 👉 Join our friendly cruise & travel community here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/372710791279047/ If you enjoy calm, honest cruise travel content, please 👍 the video, subscribe, and share it with fellow cruisers.
