Welcome to a world where luxury meets responsibility. Cruising Green isn’t just a trend—it’s a movement, and JK Royal Cruise is proud to stand at the forefront of sustainable, eco-friendly backwater tourism in Kollam’s breathtaking Ashtamudi Lake.
In this blog, discover how our premium houseboats combine comfort, Kerala flavours, and nature conservation to create a journey that travellers today truly value.
Introduction: Why Cruising Matters
Cruising Green is becoming essential as tourists worldwide seek meaningful experiences that don’t harm the planet. With Kerala’s backwaters receiving travellers year-round, responsible tourism has never been more important.
JK Royal Cruise believes luxury should enhance nature—not exploit it. This philosophy inspired us to create one of Kerala’s most eco-friendly houseboat experiences, combining premium comfort with sustainable operation.
Ashtamudi Lake – A Fragile Paradise Worth Protecting
Ashtamudi Lake, a Ramsar wetland site, is an ecological treasure. Its unique mix of estuaries, canals, mangroves, and birdlife requires preservation through:
- Clean waterways
- Controlled boating routes
- Zero-waste disposal

According to Wetlands International, Ramsar sites must maintain ecological balance and sustainable use—exactly what Cruising Green aims to fulfil.
