Luxury River Cruises in India

River Cruises in India

Magnificent and mysterious, colourful and bewildering, India is one of the world’s most diverse and intriguing countries.

Home to many rivers such as the Ganges, Brahmaputra, Indus and Yamuna, it is said that they are the lifeblood of the country and have played an integral role in India’s history and still today in people’s day-to-day lives. Pettitts Travel offer the chance to take an intrepid river cruise down either the holy Ganges, the sprawling Brahmaputra or both, travelling with Assam Bengal Navigation or Pandaw. Joining a river cruise will allow visitors to get up close to indigenous and rural communities, discover pristine national parks and an abundance of wildlife and visit important historical sites, as well as cruising through the remote and beautiful Indian countryside. You will also have the chance to visit must-see cities such as the vibrant and historical Kolkata in eastern India, or the spiritual capital of the country, Varanasi, where you have the chance to watch the enchanting and holy aarti rituals in the Ganges.
