Ganges River Cruise

The name Ganges conjures all of India’s exotic fascination. Now you can travel this extraordinary river in considerable comfort on a truly unforgettable river cruise.

We have exclusively chartered the 28-cabin R/V Bengal Ganga for this very special voyage. Based on a traditional 19th century British design, our teak and brass river cruiser blends beautifully with the timeless landscape. Over eight leisurely days we will experience the vibrant, complex tapestry of diverse architectural expressions, historical narratives, religious beliefs, and fascinating cultural traditions that thrive along the banks of the Ganges.

Meet in Kolkata, India’s intellectual, artistic, and cultural capital before embarking our cruise through the lush countryside of West Bengal. Every day, we’ll be ashore visiting ancient temples and palaces and vestiges of India’s rich colonial past as we experience the enduring rituals of daily life along ‘Mother Ganga’. Our expert guides reveal the fascinating history and the contemporary realities as we explore.

A choice of curated optional extensions take you to the Golden Triangle, to the kaleidoscopic temple towns of the South India, and to the Himalayan hill stations.

This is an experience for the culturally curious, for photographers of unforgettable landscapes, and for adventurous travellers who relish authentic moments. The experience of the Ganges River is beguiling, complex, infinite, and profound.
