Cruise Itinerary

Day 1
Kolkata (ex Calcutta)
Day 2
Kalna
This ancient city has flourished for over a thousand years, on the banks of a branch of the Ganges known as the Bhagirathi River.During its long and storied history, it has become one of the most sacred sites in West Bengal, earning the moniker ‘the city of temples’. Travellers from far and wide come to see Naba Kailash Mandir, a Shiva temple constructed in 1809, which is structured as two concentric circles. Others come for the Rajbari Complex, known for its terracotta ornamentation depicting scenes from Hindu mythology.
Day 3
Matiari
This riverside village in West Bengal sits on the Hooghly, a branch of the Ganges, surrounded by lush countryside. Visitors are given a warm welcome and invited to learn about the community’s long-standing brass-working tradition.
Day 4
Murshidabad
You’ll find this historic town in West Bengal, set on the banks of the Bhagirathi River, a distributary of the Ganges. In the 18th century, it rose to prominence as one of the subcontinent’s most prosperous and cosmopolitan centres, known for its wealth, art and culture. That legacy lingers today in the monuments that remain. The 19th-century Hazarduari Palace dominates the riverfront, its neoclassical façade famed for a thousand doors (though only 900 are real). Namak Haram Deorhi, meanwhile, also known as the ‘Traitor’s Gate’, is steeped in intrigue and associated with secret plots. 
Day 5
Kolkata (ex Calcutta)
Day 6
Mayapur
This town in West Bengal sits at the confluence of the Jalangi River and the Bhagirathi, a branch of the Ganges. It’s considered a spiritual hub, drawing pilgrims to its temples and sacred sites, many of which are dedicated to Krishna.

Mumbai (ex Bombay)
Mumbai, where traditions thread through modernity, offers an entrancing gateway to India's soul. The city's tropical climate and bustling streets encapsulate a dynamic blend of commerce and spirituality. As the heart of the Indian film industry, Mumbai showcases the dreams and dramas of a nation, while the annual Ganesh Chaturthi festival transforms the city into a spectacle of devotion and celebration. A lesser-known fact: Mumbai houses the largest tropical forest in an urban zone, offering a green escape within the concrete maze.

Fairly expensive week cruise, seeing Venice & surrounding islands of interest, BUT outstandingly good value as it included many experiences with no expense spared, including St Marks Cathedral & The Doges Palace out of hours, which avoided queuing for over 2 hours, & doing battle with the crowds at each. Lots of trips in vaporettos. We don't know how they did it for the money. Every experience was carefully chosen, we had an outstandingly good guide, Susan Steer. We felt we saw everything of interest, & enjoyed it so much hope to repeat it. I particularly enjoyed the Opera evening onboard, with singers of Glyndebourne standard. Despite the many experiences, it was a very easy & relaxed way to see Venice. The only reason for 4 stars in the public rooms was the bar was situated in the centre of the main salon, which made it difficult for everyone to have a good view of the entertainment

Lovely sunny weather all week . Crew were excellent. I went to find where the ship was docked in Bordeaux as i had stayed for a few days before and they let me book in even though i was not going to board until the afternoon as i was meeting a friend for lunch. We missed on destination because there had been very heavy rain in the Pyrenees and the tide was too high to get under a bridge. Lovely company and very helpful. One guest from Canada did not get her luggage and the helped her every day trying to find it at Dublin airport.

As a result of airline problems, sailing was delayed by Captain. Ship and crew were first class. My stateroom was on the lower level with small high level windows which was disappointing but spent most of the time out of the room which was fully serviced every day. All restaurant staff very attentive and food exellent. Room service and snacks available all day. Highly recommed.

This was a once in a lifetime trip for myself and my husband . It was a nightmare travelling from Heathrow and our luggage didn't arrive . The room we had was very small and quite cluttered with furniture . The highlights were the staff and the food which were both excellent . The low points were the lack of evening entertainment and only having one bar to use the second smaller bar was closed most of the time . Didn't think it was value for money
