Get ready to embark on an unforgettable journey through the heart and soul of India as CroisiEurope launches its highly anticipated Ganges River cruises, starting February 2025. This exciting new offering from the world-renowned river cruise operator promises travelers an unparalleled experience, blending luxury, cultural immersion, and sustainable tourism.
The Ganges River, known as the ‘Ganga’ in India, is much more than a waterway—it’s a lifeline, a symbol of India’s spiritual and cultural identity, and a revered sacred river for millions of Hindus. Its waters are believed to have purifying and healing properties, making a journey along the Ganges River a truly profound experience.
The cruises will be conducted aboard the RV Ganges Voyager, a luxurious vessel specifically designed to navigate the unique waterways of the Ganges. The ship boasts modern amenities for ultimate comfort and enjoyment, including spacious cabins, a sun deck, a lounge, and a dining area, all designed to provide a serene and comfortable environment as you journey along the river.
The itineraries, ranging from a week to ten days, offer a balanced mix of relaxation and exploration, taking you to some of India’s most iconic and spiritually significant destinations. Experience the ancient city of Varanasi, known as the spiritual heart of India, and delve into the country’s religious and cultural traditions. Witness the famous Ghats of Varanasi, where traditional rituals, including the Ganga Aarti, a beautiful and moving evening prayer ceremony, are performed on the banks of the river.
Venture to Kolkata, a city that offers a captivating blend of colonial history and modern vibrancy. Explore historical landmarks such as the Victoria Memorial and Howrah Bridge, wander through bustling markets, and immerse yourself in the city’s unique cultural hubs.
To enhance the cultural immersion, CroisiEurope’s Ganges River cruises will feature authentic Indian cuisine prepared by onboard chefs using locally sourced ingredients. Savor traditional Indian dishes that highlight the region’s rich flavors and diverse culinary traditions.
The dining experience is complemented by a variety of onboard activities that celebrate Indian culture. Enjoy traditional music and dance performances that showcase India’s vibrant artistic heritage, participate in workshops and demonstrations of local crafts, and gain a hands-on experience of India’s artistic traditions.
CroisiEurope’s commitment to sustainable tourism is evident in the design of the RV Ganges Voyager, incorporating the latest eco-friendly technologies to minimize its environmental footprint. The company also collaborates closely with local communities to ensure that tourism benefits the region economically and culturally without harming the environment.
