Our all-suite Ganges Voyager is a stylish, sustainable and spiritual journey on the river. Every evening, watch the sky become a stunning canvas of pinks and violets and feel time slow down. The river and bridge come alive with these colours, and you are immersed in peace, escape and a sense of well-being.

Pico Iyer mused, "The beauty of a long river cruise is the contemplative passage through changing landscapes."

Sundarbans - named after the large mangrove tree Sundari, means ‘beautiful forest’ in Bangla. The world's largest protected mangrove forest spread over 54 islands, straddles India and Bangladesh. The Sundarbans are wild and beautiful, a dense habitat for the elusive Royal Bengal Tiger, one of the most iconic and endangered species on the planet.

Cruising through the tangled mangroves and infinite skies that seem to stretch endlessly at a slow pace allows you close glimpses of the abundant flora and fauna, like the saltwater crocodile and over 320 species of birds. This unique UNESCO protected paradise and ever-changing ecosystem is also home to approximately 4.5 million people.

Our journey is not just about exploration; it's about connection – with nature, with culture, with the extraordinary lives that thrive in this unique ecosystem where conscious luxury meets sustainability. Antara Cruises offer a unique engagement with a wondrous landscape and committed conservation efforts.

Ever wondered how the Ganga River shaped the spice trade in ancient India? Let's embark on a journey through history, exploring the bustling cities that thrived on its banks! From Varanasi (Benares), nestled along the sacred Ganges, where the aroma of spices likely filled its lively bazaars amidst bustling merchants and traders, to Patna (Pataliputra), a gem of antiquity standing as a testament to urban life and commerce, fostering bustling markets fueling trade with neighbouring regions.

Then, as the sun rose on the colonial era, Calcutta (Kolkata) emerged as a beacon of maritime trade at the confluence of the Ganga and Hooghly rivers, with bustling ports and warehouses thriving in spice commerce.

But it wasn't just the big cities; smaller towns along the river were also bustling with trade, bringing people from all over to exchange goods and ideas. Let's celebrate the Ganga River for connecting people and cultures through trade and history! - Please fine tune this.

Kolkata is a city full of surprises! In a place where modern metro trains circulate, one can still find old-school hand-pulled rickshaws along the streets.

These rickshaws have been around since way back in the 1800s. While other cities said goodbye to them, Kolkata decided to keep the tradition alive. These rickshaw rides won't burn a hole in your pocket; you can hop on for just a dollar or even less!

Kolkata proudly embraces hand-pulled rickshaws, honoring its cultural heritage and sustaining livelihoods for locals. Plus, these rickshaws are perfect for navigating the city's narrow streets with ease!

Like tea, trams, and vintage architecture, the hand-pulled rickshaw is a British heritage in Kolkata’s colonial treasure. With Antara Cruises, you can experience the nostalgic charm of this city.

By the banks of the Hooghly River, the grand old Clock Tower at Kolkata Port Trust has been standing tall since 1899. For over 120 years, this has stood watch, keeping perfect time as ships came and went forth. This memorial, with inscriptions in English, Bengali, and Hindi, pays tribute to brave journeys into the unknown. Balconies on all its four sides overlook the Hooghly River and the Second Hooghly Bridge.

A few metres away is the Indenture Memorial, a tribute to hundreds of thousands of indentured Indian labourers who ventured across kalapani to far-off lands in search of a better life on the other side of the world.

Today, Antara Cruises dips your toes into this fascinating history of what the river has meant across the centuries, while experiencing a relaxed journey of your own.

World Tourism Day

World Tourism Day celebrates the beauty of travel, and we at Antara are honoured to play a role in it, even if it’s just a tiny fraction. What once was a distant dream, now holds boundless potential. From the Ganges in Varanasi to the Brahmani and Vaitarani rivers in Odisha’s Bhitarkanika region, India’s 7,500-kilometer coastline is no longer an untapped secret. However, as we explore these majestic waterways, we must protect them, keep them clean, and ensure they remain pollution-free. World tourism highlights the importance of “green investment” to support the Sustainable Development Goals. Let’s celebrate India’s pristine rivers and invest in their future this World Tourism Day! . . . . . . . . . . #worldtourismday #tourismday #antara #antaraheritageriverjourneys #ganges #gangesjourney #experienceganges #ontheriver #experiencenature #experienceantara
