River Cruises

River cruising offers a comfortable and relaxing holiday through come of India’s well known rivers where you can experience out of the way and less explored locations in India like Boddh Gaya, Patna, Majuli Island and The Sunderbans. 

Cruise the Hoogly River to the Sunderbans - West Bengal
The rich biodiversity of Sunderbans is situated at the southern tip of West Bengal, India. The dense mangrove forests, the flora and the fauna together contribute to the magic of this vast delta. Positioned between the great Indian rivers – The Ganges and the Brahmaputra, Sunderbans even stretches to river Meghna in Bangladesh. 

Cruise along the Brahmaputra River - Assam
Anyone who has travelled by train or plane through India, or who has been driven on Indian roads, will be amazed to learn that there is actually a way to travel through the country in total serenity and comfort. Yet it is in fact possible to cruise for some 1750 miles on the rivers and inland waterways of India, passing through great cities, alongside wildlife sanctuaries and historical monuments and into the heart of rural India. 

Cruise along the Holy Ganges – West Bengal, Jharkhand & Bihar
These cruises along the main stream of the Ganges, 6 nights’ downstream/8 nights upstream, operate between Farakka, reached by rail from Kolkata, and the city of Patna. Mughal ruins at Rajmahal, East India Company relics at Patna and Monghyr, and Buddhist monuments at Boddh Gaya and elsewhere in this, the Buddha’s homeland, make for an exciting voyage through totally undiscovered territory.
