    Booking 2023 & 2024!  Prices from only USD 630 p.p.

    Sustainable tourism in India:
    What we love about these cruises, is the fact that local workers are hand-picked and taught skills in languages and hospitality, before progressing to become valued members of the friendly crew, drivers or local admin staff.  Projects funded by the company encourage learning and development and an awareness of environmental issues, all for the good of local communities.  Local businesses are used from initial ship build, to providing hand crafted furniture and fabrics which adorn the interiors of the vessels.

Cuisine on board is a mixture of Assamese (milder than most Indian cuisine) and continental.  Wines, beer and spirits are available. A small spa onboard offers a wide range of relaxing treatments.

  • Bengal Memories Lower Ganges River Cruise – 4 Day Itinerary

    “…My father was stationed in Calcutta in 1948. He remembers it fondly, just as I found it; crowded streets, beautiful old buildings, vibrant bustling markets and so much colour and history at every turn…”   Kolkata has a charm that you can’t experience in any of India’s other metropolitan cities…”

    DAY 1 – Embarkation, Kolkata

    ​This morning, you will be collected from your central hotel and transferred to embark the ship by 11 am. Sail upstream past the old Dutch settlement of Chinsura before landing to visit the imposing Imambara at Hooghly. With verses from the Koran written on its walls, the Imambara is an opportunity to step back in time and relive a slice of Islamic history in Bengal. After the visit, reboard ABN Rajmahal and set sail, leaving urban sprawl behind.
    Meals: L, D

    DAY 2 – Kalna

    Sail upstream and, after breakfast, land at the country town of Kalna and take cycle rickshaws to see a group of some of Bengal’s most attractive terracotta temples, as well as the unique Shiva temple with concentric rings made up of 108 shrinelets. Continue on through the countryside to Mayapur to visit the vast new ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) temple which dominates the skyline. As the headquarters of ISKCON or the Hare Krishna movement, the temple receives over a million singing and dancing devotees a year from around the world. Sail downstream as dusk falls to a mooring near Kalna.
    Meals: B, L, D
