Artisans of Bengal - Ganges and Hoogly India River Cruise

A themed cruise exploring the cultural heritage of Bengal along with different traditions of textile weaving and indigenous crafts combined with an insight into erstwhile colonies like French Chandernagore and Danish Serampore. From historical shiya centre and terracotta temples to the modern ISKCON temple; this cruise offers all and more!


Explore the towns and villages along the Hoogly River from the comfort of a beautiful river ship and enjoy the superb on-board catering and facilities. The highly trained culinary team provide a buffet breakfast and lunch and a seated multiple course dinner.


There will be some on board activities while cruising the river - A cooking class, a cultural performance and a lecture. 


Or just sit on the top deck, watching the world of the river go by, perhaps enjoying a sundowner while watching a sunset on the river. The banks are often a hive of activity with people bathing, weddings or other ceremonies, and the more rural sections are interspersed with villages and a more traditional way of life. 


Wildlife
You can also enjoy the birdlife along the river, with some 180 species recorded recently, and, with luck, you will spot the rare Ganges River Dolphins that inhabit this part of the river.

Bengal Ganga

Built in 2004, with inspiration from traditional Burmese river vessels and colonial Clyde steamships, the Antara Bengal Ganga has been refreshed and refurbished into a contemporary, graceful craft with 20 suites. The newly added eclectic 1970s decor that features wood, metal and leather brings to life the gleaming Burmese teak floors and decks of the original. Curved motifs, rounded edges and striking colours, and the new artwork by Anil Chandran P create a fresh, stylish and restful feel. Large balconies and artful décor allow old-world charm to embrace you on your voyage and immerse you in the spectacular sunsets on the Ganges.

The Bengal Ganga is an expedition river craft, made entirely out of Burma teak and iron. It sails from Kolkata to Munger and downstream to Kolkata between October and late March when the river’s waters are plentiful yet calm.
