Detailed Itinerary
Voyage down the sacred Ganges, a river teeming with the vibrant life and spirituality that invigorates India. Between dramatic temple complexes, richly spiced cuisine, and the picturesque Pink City and majestic Taj Mahal of the Golden Triangle, India has no shortage of wonders to uncover.
Day 1 | Saturday, October 12, 2024 | New Delhi
Be greeted by a Uniworld representative at the airport and transfer to the beautiful Oberoi New Delhi hotel and resort, a luxurious retreat tucked away in the heart of India’s cosmopolitan capital.
Day 2 | Sunday, October 13, 2024 | New Delhi
Featured Excursion: India’s Capital City India’s seat of power for nearly a thousand years, Delhi bridges two distinctly different worlds—Old Delhi, the former capital, with its narrow lanes and splendid mosques; and New Delhi, established by the British, with wide tree-lined boulevards and handsome buildings. Spend your first full day in India getting a panoramic overview of the city’s top sights, including Humayun’s Tomb—inspiration for the UNESCO-designated Taj Mahal—and Birla house. Also visit the Red Fort, one of Delhi’s most iconic attractions.
Day 3 | Monday, October 14, 2024 | New Delhi, transfer to Agra
Featured Excursion: Majesty and Grace—Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal This morning’s destination is Agra Fort, the palatial walled city where Shah Jahan once lived, followed by lunch at the spectacular Oberoi Amarvilas. Check-in and enjoy a leisurely afternoon on the resort property, where every room offers stunning views of the Taj Mahal. As the sun sets, you’ll have your first opportunity (optional) to visit India’s most awe-inspiring and iconic monument, the Taj Mahal; this “elegy in marble” commissioned by the broken-hearted Emperor Shah Jahan after his beloved wife died in childbirth., will literally take your breath away.
Day 4 | Tuesday October 15, 2024 | Agra, Transfer to Jaipur
Featured Excursion: Early morning at the Taj Majal Venture back to the Taj Majal early in the morning, when the pristine white marble monument is aglow with the soft pink lustre of dawn, and learn more about the mausoleum’s fascinating history, perfect proportions, precious building materials and intricate craftmanship. Head for Jaipur with a stop at the Fatehpur Sikri Fort (UNESCO site) After a scenic drive to Jaipur, the magnificent capital of the Indian state of Rajasthan, check in at the regal Oberoi Rajvilas and relax at the hotel.
Day 5 | Wednesday, October 16 2024 | Jaipur
Featured Excursion: Jaipur—Rajasthan’s Princely City Your tour of romantic Jaipur includes City Palace—a sprawling complex with lovely courtyards and gardens where the former royal family still lives—and the UNESCO-designated Jantar Mantar, a centuries-old observatory housing the world’s largest sundial and a superb collection of astronomical instruments. Relax during the afternoon or take a complimentary shuttle into town to explore the city’s bazaar, which overflows with high-quality textiles, jewellery and gemstones.
Day 6 | Thursday, October 17, 2024 | Jaipur, fly to Kolkata
(Embark) Transfer to Jaipur International Airport and fly to Kolkata, India’s second-largest city, a clamorous yet captivating metropolis situated on the Lower Ganges. Cap off the day with a cultural performance on board the Ganges Voyager II.
Day 7 | Friday, October 18, 2024 | Kolkata
Featured Excursion: Mother Teresa’s home and tomb and the enduring legacy of the British Raj The former capital of the Raj, Kolkata offers intriguing glimpses of the British colonial period, including grand architecture such as the Writers’ Building, High Court and General Post Office. Visit Mother Teresa’s former home, where the late Roman Catholic nun established the Missionaries of charity in 1950, and her tomb, her final resting place.
Day 8 | Saturday, October 19, 2024 | Kalna
Featured Excursion: India’s “Temple City” There is no better way to see the sights of Kalna than via an exhilarating trishaw ride through the heart of the city. Kalna’s Rajbari complex has the region’s densest concentration of temples, including 108 intricately carved, slope-roofed structures devoted to Shiva.
Day 9 | Sunday, October 20, 2024 | Matiari
Observe master craftmen at work in Matiari, an artisans’ village revered for its finely wrought brassware. There will also be time to shop for village-made goods. Back on board, roll up your sleeves for a mehndi demonstration — intricate henna designs—and learn how to tie a sari and a turban.
Day 10 | Monday, October 21, 2024 | Murshidabad, Baranagar
Today you’ll experience two Bengali towns, Murshidabad and Baranagar, both of which boast architectural monuments closely linked to the ruling families of the area. Approaching Murshidabad, a most unexpected sight unfolds before you—the massive Hazarduari Palace, famous for its thousand doors, both real and false, and its fine collection of antiques and British colonial artwork. Climb aboard a horse cart for a lively ride to Katra Mosque, one of the region’s largest and most interesting.
Day 11 | Tuesday, October 22, 2024 | Mayapur
Featured Excursion: Hare Krishna complex and Temple of the Vedic Planetarium After a scenic morning cruise, the wildly colourful village of Mayapur, birthplace of the founder of the Hare Krishna movement, and it’s colossal Vedic temple await you. Millions of scholars and devout followers visit here every year. The village is also home to hundreds of second-generation Hare Krishnas born to North Americas and Europeans who relocated to India back in the 1960’s.
Day 12 | Wednesday, October 23, 2024 | Bandel, Chandannagar, Kolkata
Featured Excursion: Discovering India’s fascinating dualities Travel by sampan to Bandel for a visit to the Hooghly Imambara, one of the most famous pilgrimage centers in West Bengal. The structure was designed to serve two functions—a mosque as well as an Imambara, a congregation hall for special religious ceremonies. Admire the site’s faded grandeur on a stroll around its vast courtyard, or ascend one of the tall twin towers for a marvelous view. Later, join an excursion to Chandannagar, which was a French colony for about 275 years and thus has a very different cultural heritage and character from the rest of India (most of which fell under British rule). Take a leisurely walk along the Strand, Chandannagar’ s waterfront promenade, lined with lovely colonial-ere buildings that have stood the test of time—including the former French governor’s residence and the Roman Catholic Sacred Heart Church. Chandannagar’ s intriguing dual nature is evident elsewhere in the city, such as the schools that still teach both English and French, generations after the colonial rulers departed. Spend your last evening on board enjoying a Farewell Dinner.
Day 13 | Thursday, October 24, 2024 | Kolkata (Disembark), Transfer to the airport
Disembark the ship and transfer to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport for your return flight home.
