Cruise on the holy river
Enjoy a gentle rhythm of life on one of the greatest rivers in the world, with plenty of interesting stops on the way
For Hindus the Ganges is not just a holy river, but the goddess Ganga herself, flowing from Himalayan glaciers to the Bay of Bengal, bringing water and life to the vast plains of North India. By far the best way to explore all the life on its riverbanks is on a luxury river cruise. You can choose from difference sections of the river, upstream and downstream, and cruise from 4 to 15 nights. Aside from enjoying the gentle rhythm of life on the Ganges, there are lots of interesting stops along the way – ancient holy cities like Varanasi, small villages, temples and historical sites far off the tourist trail.
The ships have stylish interiors with colonial touches, complete with bar, restaurant, sun deck and spa. So go on and splash out. There is also an expert naturalist on board to point out the wildlife.
