SINGAPORE, 8 November 2023: Pandaw welcomed its first guests of the Indian season this week in Kolkata as the river cruises’ local purser, Mr Sam, and crew greeted guests in traditional Indian style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sailing 12 nights along the mighty Ganges River to Varanasi, the small Pandaw river ship takes guests to the heart of life along this most famous of rivers to places inaccessible by road or train, all in the usual comfort and style that is Pandaw’s speciality.<\/p>\n\n\n

Pandaw has released forward dates for sailings on this special expedition for 2024\/25, reflecting a robust interest and positive sales for staterooms aboard this river cruise series in India. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More about the Ganges Expedition cruise<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cruise was first introduced in 2019 when Pandaw inaugurated an ‘all Ganges’ voyage of 1,000 miles from Kolkata to Varanasi. Today, faced with navigation challenges and numerous pontoon bridges hindering navigation, the cruise sails as far as Patna and then overland to Varanasi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the revised route still covers sailing the scenic sections of the Ganges from the colonial splendours of Kolkota through the enchanting rural districts of West Bengal along the Hoogly and the great expanse of the Ganga itself with its pristine bird and wildlife and cultural treasures dotted along the banks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
