Experience the enchanting beauty and rich history of India on an APT Ganges River Cruise, where the journey takes you beyond the typical path and into the heart of India’s most sacred river. Each cruise promises unforgettable encounters—from the vibrant ghats of Varanasi to the storied villages along the riverbanks. Witness the spiritual significance of the Ganges, India’s lifeline, as it weaves through cities and serene landscapes, connecting you to the culture, history, and people of this remarkable land. Alongside expert guides, explore centuries-old temples, visit villages rich in tradition, and take in breathtaking views from your suite as you sail through West Bengal and beyond.

On all APT holidays, gratuities to your Tour Director, ship crew, local guides, drivers, as well as porterage and restaurant service staff, are included in your holiday package. If you wish to reward any individual for exceptional service, this is at your discretion. Should you purchase additional services or extended touring that is not organised by APT, you will be expected to tip on top of the bill provided. In general, the expected tip is between 10–15% and may appear on the bill as a service charge.

Embodying the grace of the British colonial era, all suites are spacious and boast a private Panoramic Balcony. With the boutique Ganges Voyager accommodating just 56 guests, you’re assured a gracious and personalised experience on board.

In the elegant East India Dining Room, your Executive Chef oversees an expert team using fresh local produce to cater for delicious dining experiences.

Wine and local beer are included with all lunches and dinners, while daily cocktails, tea and coffee are included on board throughout your entire cruise.

As one of the oldest living civilisations in the world, India’s customs are based on an ancient cultural heritage. As contemporary India changes at a rapid pace, it stills clings to age-old traditions that have been in existence for centuries. Modern India is made up of a fascinating blend of ethnicities and religions. As the birthplace of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism, India offers visitors an experience steeped in spirituality, which permeates nearly every aspect of society. Although there are significant populations of Muslims and Christians, most Indians belong to one of the four main religions mentioned above.

The Sun Deck’s Governor’s Lounge and outdoor Observation Deck offer panoramic views, while the Voyager Spa and Fitness Centre are sure to impress.
