Where is the celebration kicking off?

Around 800 guests will be treated to an opulent adventure aboard a luxury cruise liner between May 28 and 30, according to a Deccan Chronicle report.

The itinerary

The itinerary for the luxury cruise in Europe boasts a picturesque 4,380 kilometre journey from Italy to the South of France and back. On May 29, the celebration will kick off with a welcome lunch, followed by a ‘Starry Night’- themed evening gala. 

On May 30, the guests will land in Rome for a touristy day out, followed by a dinner party and an after-party that begins at 1 a.m. On May 31, after a morning of festivities on cruise, the guests will land in Cannes for a masquerade bash. The festivities will end on June 1 at Portofino, Italy.

Comfort is key

600 hospitality staff will be on board to ensure every whim of the Ambani family’s high-profile guests is catered to.

Get ready for Bollywood bonanza

The guest list features A-listers like Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh – who were also part of the Jamnagar bash. Given their close ties with the Ambani family, Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan with family are expected to join the celebrations.

Space-themed pre-wedding bash

One of the more interesting aspects of the pre-wedding cruise is that the entire celebration will be space-themed. Keeping that in mind, Radhika Merchant will be wearing an exquisite custom-made Grace Ling Couture piece. Recently, a few pictures of her outfit were shared by Instant Bollywood on Instagram.
