Contact us

Newly built for service on the Hooghly and Ganges, the Rajmahal has been built with a shallow draft to cope with low waters. A larger boat with 22 cabins split between upper and main deck, the Rajmahal has a small spa and a vast canopied sundeck, complimenting the communal areas, which are all in keeping with traditional Indian-inspired design.

The first vessel of its kind to offer extensive cruising between Calcutta and as far north as Varanasi, the Rajmahal is a welcome fresh face on the Hooghly and Ganges, with top-end facilities.

Facilities On Board

There are 14 twin/double cabins on the upper deck and four twin/double cabins on the main deck, together with four single cabins for no additional supplement. Onboard meet expertly trained culinary staff who are happy combining Indian and Western cuisine. The restaurant seating offers buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is a spacious air-conditioned saloon with library & recorded entertainment. There are local on-board dance & song performances daily. For downtime, enjoy the spa with a choice of treatments.

Sailing Route
