Cruise on the Ganges: The Sacred Waters between Kolkata and Varanasi (port-to-port cruise)
Take a cruise on the Ganges River and plunge into fascinating, enticing, surprising, and astonishing India. The river is not only sacred to the Hindus, it is also the lifeline for the millions of inhabitants that depend on it for their daily needs. Washing in the river is done both symbolically to purify and to tend to practical tasks. You'll cross through a region little touched by tourism and experience a deep authenticity within the unique historical sites and stunning landscapes along the way. Discover the cultural heartbeat of the nation: Bustling Kolkata and its memorials and Varanasi, a sacred city that attracts millions of pilgrims a year. Join us on a luxury ship, decked out with canopy-style beds in its cabins, for a trip of a lifetime.
