It was the Portuguese who made the first naval expedition to India, in 1498. They arrived in Calicut (not today's Calcutta, but a coastal town in India now called Kozhikode) only to find a small but thriving European business community already established there. At least a number of them would have reached India partly over sea. But we usually count Vasco da Gama's 1498 voyage as the first 'official' sea travel to India.
