The ship is called “Princess of India”. It is a luxury liner, one of the better ones. It is a fairly new ship, about five years old. Not one of the largest, but definitely one of the more luxurious.
Its route is from London to Mangalore, India, by the long route, that is, London, stopping in Lisboa, several stops along the African coast, and on several of the islands on its way through the Indian Ocean.
It is an 8 weeks journey, and for the passengers, it will be 8 luxurious weeks.
