STRASBOURG — CroisiEurope’s brand new Ganges River cruises are scheduled to begin in February 2025.

The river cruise company says the sailings will offer a unique and immersive experience through one of India’s most culturally rich and historically significant regions.

CroisiEurope’s specially designed river cruise vessel, RV Ganges Voyager, will operate the series of voyages, offering cultural immersion with daily excursions led by knowledgeable English-speaking local guides. Onboard, passengers will dine on authentic Indian cuisine using fresh, local ingredients, and take in traditional music and dance performances, as well as opportunities to participate in local crafts and cultural activities.

Key sightseeing highlights are Varanasi, Kolkata and optional excursions including visits to the Sunderbans mangrove forest, home to the Royal Bengal Tiger, and rural villages where guests can experience traditional Indian life firsthand.

Says the cruise line: “We are delighted to introduce our guests to the enchanting beauty and profound spirituality of the Ganges River. This new destination represents an exciting addition to our portfolio and a unique opportunity for travellers to immerse themselves in the rich heritage of India while enjoying the high standards of service and comfort that CroisiEurope is known for.”
