Where India's culture comes alive.
Every Lumière experience is designed to create a genuine, lasting connection between travellers and the craftsmanship, creativity, and heritage of India — delivered within the world's finest cruise and hospitality settings.
Signature Art Auctions
Our signature art auctions bring carefully curated collections of Indian contemporary and heritage art to an international audience. Presented aboard cruise ships and within premium hospitality venues, each auction is a cultural event in its own right — combining expert curation with the excitement of live bidding.
Every work is selected for its artistic merit, provenance, and the story it tells of India's rich creative traditions. Partners can expect a professionally managed, high-engagement event that adds genuine cultural depth to the guest experience.
Cultural Storytelling Events
Our cultural storytelling events bring the artisan directly to the traveller. Through live demonstrations, curated presentations, and immersive performances, we give India's craftspeople and cultural traditions a stage — and give audiences an unforgettable encounter with a living heritage.
Each event is designed to educate, inspire, and connect in equal measure — leaving guests with a genuine understanding of the craft traditions behind the objects they encounter.
Tea Tasting Experiences
India is home to some of the world's most extraordinary teas — and Lumière brings that story to life through guided, immersive tasting experiences. Each session is a journey through terroir, tradition, and taste, presenting India's celebrated tea regions in a format that is refined, educational, and genuinely memorable.
Whether presented as an intimate on-board experience or as part of a broader cultural programme, our tea tastings are thoughtfully designed to be the kind of moment a traveller takes home with them.
Himalayan Coffee
Located in the foothills of The Great Himalayas, 45 kilometers East from the capital city, Kathmandu, Nepal. We grow 100% Arabica coffee, shade grown, at an altitude of 1150-1300 meters. Each harvest is handpicked, timely fermented, wet processed (washed) and sun dried, preserving the natural character and flavor.
Sustainability has always been our ethos and we ensure sustainable farming methods are practiced that involves no pesticides and harmful chemicals. With sufficient greenery and livestock, the farm uses in-farm made natural organic fertilizer for every coffee plant.
