When do cruises call in India and Sri Lanka?
Mostly from about November to April, with the most comfortable weather from December to March, outside the southwest monsoon.
Can I visit Sri Lanka’s tea country on a port call?
Only on longer calls. The hill country is several hours inland from Colombo; on a standard day, a Colombo city loop or the Galle Fort is more relaxed.
