Designed and built fully in India, our ships are a labour of love for the river and the culture it represents.
Ganga Vilas

Over 51 days across 2 countries, 5 states, and 27 river systems, Antara Ganga Vilas sails from Varanasi to Dibrugarh via Dhaka.

Each ship has a charming personality, intersecting with time and culture in its own way
Hand-built with care and precision and an eagle eye on sustainability and safety, Antara’s ships are all-suite havens of conscious luxury. Our fleet of beautiful, large and small vessels has pioneered cruise ship design suited to the size and volume of Indian rivers, and is piloted by experienced crews.
Vibrant interiors feature hand-crafted furniture, and traditional and contemporary textiles and art, mirroring the landscape and changing hues of water. Spacious, bright and comfortable rooms create a sense of well-being. Large French balconies and free flowing common spaces blur the line between indoors and outdoors. Elegant décor, attentive service, and indulgent amenities combine with stunning views (and the occasional dolphin) to make your trip as special on board as it is riverside.
