Expedition overview and highlights

  • Walk through Murshidabad’s grand past at Hazarduari Palace and Katra Mosque
  • Discover French and Danish colonial heritage in Chandernagore and Serampore
  • Explore Mayapur, the spiritual hub of the ISKCON movement
  • Experience daily life along the Hooghly River

Step back in time on this immersive river journey through the cultural heartland of Bengal, where the rise and fall of empires shaped the destiny of South Asia. Aboard the elegant Ganges Voyager, sail past riverside temples, colonial mansions, and once-glorious royal capitals that tell the story of Bengal’s princely past. From the European enclaves of Chandernagore and Serampore to the Mughal-style gardens of Khushbagh and the majestic Hazarduari Palace in Murshidabad, this journey offers a rare glimpse into the rich and layered history of the region. Watch artisans at work in copper-making villages, explore terracotta temples, and witness spiritual life unfold along the riverbanks. Guided excursions and meaningful cultural experiences make this journey especially rewarding for passengers who are passionate about history, architecture and heritage.
