From filters to voice: Int2Cruises redefines cruise discovery

Visakhapatnam: Int2Cruises, Asia’s leading cruise-first online travel platform, has launched Asia’s first AI-powered conversational cruise search that allows travellers to find cruise holidays using simple, everyday language through both text and voice.

With this launch, the company becomes the first in Asia, and possibly globally on the consumer side, to offer an instant natural language and voice-enabled search experience dedicated exclusively to cruise travel. The new feature eliminates the need for complex filters or endless scrolling through itineraries. Instead, travellers can simply speak or type what they want and receive relevant cruise options within seconds.

Queries such as ‘Cruise from Barcelona in May 2026’, ‘Five-night Japan cruise from Yokohama’, ‘Three-night Singapore cruise on Disney Cruise Line’, or ‘Family-friendly cruises in the Bahamas’ are instantly understood and matched to the most suitable itineraries.

The launch comes at a time when travel behaviour is rapidly shifting towards faster discovery and intuitive planning tools. Cruises,often considered one of the most complex travel categories due to the variety of ships, destinations, durations and seasonal routes, remain challenging for consumers to research. Int2Cruises aims to address this pain point through its AI-driven search, which understands user intent—whether spoken or typed—and scans its extensive global inventory to deliver precise, contextually relevant options within seconds.

Vinu Vijay, Co-Founder & Head of Operations of Int2Cruises told Bizz Buzz on Friday that the new feature strengthens the company’s mission of simplifying cruise travel for Indian consumers. “Int2Cruises was built to address the real challenges Indian travellers face while planning and booking a cruise. From navigating unfamiliar ships and destinations to comparing the itineraries. Our new AI search is a significant step forward in that direction. It gives travellers control by allowing them to simply speak or type the holiday they want and instantly discover the itineraries that match.”
