TSG Bella Bay

TSG Bella Bay transforms an ordinary evening in the Andaman Islands into an extraordinary memory. Setting sail nightly from Phoenix Bay Jetty in Sri Vijaya Puram, this luxury dinner cruise combines panoramic sea views, a multi-course buffet, and live entertainment to create an experience that is part sightseeing, part fine dining, and entirely unforgettable. Operated by TSG Hotels & Resorts, a family-run name rooted in the islands since the 1930s, Bella Bay carries a legacy of genuine island hospitality, ensuring every guest feels welcomed, cared for, and captivated by the rhythm of the sea.

As the sun dips below the horizon and the Port Blair cityline begins to sparkle, the vessel glides past iconic landmarks including Ross Island, Flag Point, Panighat, Chattam, Dundas Point, and Viper Island. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply seeking a romantic night out, the cruise delivers an ambiance that balances sophistication with the laid-back charm of island life.

The Vessel: Safety, Stability & Style

At the heart of the experience is a Turkish-built, IRS-certified luxury cruiser designed for exceptional stability and passenger comfort. Unlike smaller boats that can feel choppy, this three-deck vessel provides a smooth, indulgent ride so every moment onboard is relaxing.

Three Decks, Three Distinct Experiences

Each level serves a purpose, allowing guests to find their perfect spot throughout the evening.

• Lower Deck – The Dining Room: A fully indoor, air-conditioned space where the elaborate multi-course buffet is presented. Comfortable seating ensures a pleasant dining environment regardless of the weather outside.
• Middle Deck – Tipsy Tide Bar & Dance Floor: Partially open and partially enclosed, this deck buzzes with energy. A contemporary bar serves drinks, a live DJ spins tracks, and guests are invited to dance beneath the open sides overlooking the dark water.
• Upper Deck – Open Lounge: The top level is a completely open-air sanctuary. Furnished with loungers, it offers uninterrupted views of the starlit sky, the distant city lights, and the cool sea breeze — perfect for quiet conversation and photos.
