Mrs BC and I will be traveling to India and arriving by sea rather an air.

Has anybody here used any of the companies that handle the Visa applications?

We go to India regularly and get a visa every year. It is now done on line at http://www.vfsglobal.com/India/UK/
There are 3 types of Tourist visa 28 day, 1 year and 5 year. The application for a 28 day visa is different than
that for the longer ones.
Make sure your photos totally comply and the correct information is supplied as VSF and the Indian High Commission
can get a bit "jobs worth" about everything.
One more thing the website does not like Safari or early windows browsers, Firefox works best.
Thanks for that. I thought we couldn't get an online Visa as we are arriving by ship rather than air. Will take another look.

Just a thought, Only certain airports accept the 28 day visa so you may have to get a year now at circa £100. I would check this with the shipping or cruise line you are travelling with
That's correct, we need the full year Visa
