ANTARA BENGAL GANGA
Location: Varanasi, UP
Built in 2004, this vessel draws from Burmese riverboats and colonial steamships, now reimagined with sleek 1970s-inspired interiors. Featuring 20 suites, polished teak finishes, and spacious balconies, it offers a seamless blend of tradition and contemporary style, perfectly framing the serene beauty of the river.
The reimagined design bridges past and present, recreating the charm of a bygone era while embracing modern functionality. Thoughtful transitions connect cozy interiors with sweeping water views, blending comfort and nature. Updated services, including dining and operational spaces, reflect contemporary technical excellence without losing the vessel’s timeless appeal.
Designed for gatherings and events, the upper deck offers a versatile space for socializing. Elegant canopies provide shade, while a serene spa enhances the leisure experience, creating a perfect blend of functionality and relaxation.
Outdoor lounges and observation areas evoke harmony with nature, making the journey as meaningful as the destinations themselves—a tranquil retreat celebrating the river’s story and the art of mindful travel.
