Discover Bengal Ganga, Built in colonial style architecture, Bengal Ganga redefines beauty, luxury and royalty. Taking you through rich cultural and spiritual side of India, this ship offers variety of itineraries ranging from 4 to 12 days.

Set yourself on a journey to explore the cultural background of India with Bengal Ganga. The river cruise ship was built in 2004, and the design is reminiscent of the colonial ships used by the Viceroys of British India. Keeping the royal essence preserved, the cruise will transport you into another world, not just physically but also spiritually.


It has been designed as an aesthetic replica of the colonial styled ‘Clyde’ steamers that trudged through swamps and far flung deltas of the Indian subcontinent that ruled the seas at the height of the British Empire. The ship has 28 state rooms that exude premium luxury in design and interiors, along with recreational areas and a dining room.
