Antara River Cruises has introduced luxury river cruising
across India with an exceptional attention to detail.
O U R F L E E T
There’s only one point of view on an Antara Cruise —the suite view.
An ALL SUITE FLEET of ships with French balconies and large public spaces for you to enjoy and soak in the luxury of
space. An inviting bed facing the ever-changing scenery.
The mighty river Ganges, also known as Ganga in
Sanskrit, represents grace and timeless existence. For
centuries, travellers explored different parts of the
country through the Ganges and this is one of the
reasons that our founder and director, Mr. Raj Singh
decided to carry on with this tradition. The epitome of
elegance and luxury, Ganges Voyager offers travel
experiences in the Indian Subcontinent by sailing in
some of South Asia’s finest luxury river cruise ships.

Overflowing with culture, history and astoundingly
scenic countryside, India has now turned into a sought
after river cruise destination, in recent years. After
having a spectacular start with a number of luxury
cruises that we launched in the last few years, we are
now about to launch our new ship Ganga Vilas. It will be
our new luxury river cruise vessel with 18 cabins/suites
and all other associated facilities. It will operate on
various itineraries of seven to fifteen days on river
Ganges.

Ganga Vilas Unique Design & Architecture
Keep it simply smart!
For generations, the rivers of India have played the cradle to
various pockets of civilization, where great religions and
empires rose and fell. Seekers and adventurers came to these
banks to find knowledge and other worldly benefits, only to
return and tell stories about their riches. Rivers have been
metaphors for imaging life in its infinite dimensions. After
the Bengal Ganga and the Ganges Voyager, the luxury
cruises on the ancient river route of The Ganges, we are set
to launch Nauka Vilas, an elegant one-bedroom wooden
ship to offer travellers the most exquisite experience of
romance.

• One Bedroom

One of the most prominent waterways in Uttar
Pradesh, the river finds mention in ancient
Hindu scriptures such as the Ved and Ramayan.
The river flows through Ayodhya, and as is
believed, rejuvenates and washes away
impurities.
Saryu riverfront has a large stretch of ghats and
gardens, skirted by a row of temples. It is
visited by hundreds of devotees who come here
to take a holy dip throughout the year on
various religious occasions.
