EUROPE ON THE GANGES

The colonial heritage of Bengal has inspired many travellers to embark on a journey that depicts the region’s history through the river Ganges. On the banks of the Lower Ganges, the French, Dutch, Danish, Portuguese and English made settlements to trade, preach and farm while local rulers, saints, agriculturalists, musicians and writers created new ways of living as they encountered European commerce, tastes and power. Experience true luxury and relax while witnessing this culture with the care and hospitality of this cruise. Soak in the river experience on holy river of India and witness a cultural showcase.
