THE HOLY GANGES

Travellers familiar with India will know that cruising is the perfect way to enjoy this magical country.
Far away from the frenetic roads, life on-board offers a grandeur of scenery and a tranquillity that is unique. So, a new cruise on India’s most famous river presents an opportunity not to be missed, viewing this great river from the water and cruising through holy Varanasi where the living seek purification and the dead salvation.

Our cruising partner, Assam Bengal Navigation, has now successfully pioneered this cruise between Varanasi and Patna, itself once a great cultural capital for Chandragupta in the 4th century BC and his grandson, Emperor Asoka, whose symbol, the chakra, is depicted on the national flag today.
