Ganges River Cruise with Women's Travel Network

The name Ganges conjures all of India’s exotic fascination. Considered a living goddess in the Hindu religion, the Ganges is also the daily lifeblood that provides food, water, and transportation to millions who live along its banks. 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, the river cruiser blends beautifully with the timeless landscape. Enjoy ample covered outdoor space, a cozy lounge, fine Indian and western cuisine, and warm hospitality onboard your floating hotel. Burma teak wood, fine textiles, and private bathrooms create a comfortable retreat.

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 making new discoveries in riverside towns; visiting ancient temples, splendid garden-tombs, and vestiges of India’s rich colonial past as we observe the enduring rituals of daily life along ‘Mother Ganga’.

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.

Join us and share in the excitement of this delightful mixed company tour to India.
