As you cruise along, marvel at the glowing Howrah Bridge, the grandeur of Katgola Palace, and the historic Hazar Duari. Sail past Murshidabad—the ancient capital of the Nawabs of Bengal—where you’ll spot elegant mansions, timeless tombs, and centuries-old mosques set against rice paddies and mango orchards. It’s the perfect journey to share with friends, family, or someone special—because everyone’s welcome on this unforgettable river adventure!

Spanning the Hooghly River since 1943, this engineering marvel is more than just a bridge—it’s a symbol of Bengal’s bustling spirit and history. Watching it shimmer from the boat is an unforgettable highlight of the cruise.

About Kolkata

Kolkata is the capital of West Bengal and the former capital of British India, a river city of colonial buildings, bookshops, sweets and Durga Puja.

Kolkata grew from three villages on the Hooghly River and was the capital of British India until 1911. Colonial landmarks include the Victoria Memorial, a white marble hall set in gardens, St Paul's Cathedral, and the Indian Museum, founded in 1814. The Howrah Bridge, a steel cantilever bridge over the Hooghly, carries enormous crowds, and hand-pulled rickshaws and trams still run in the streets.
