Consider this a friendly reminder: one of Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection’s newest and most unique river cruise itineraries is now open for booking.
Dubbed India’s Golden Triangle & the Sacred Ganges, this 13-day itinerary traverses the exotic and complex country of India – one of the first of its kind to be offered by a North American-based river cruise line. Debuting in January 2016 aboard the newly-built Ganges Voyager II, this is the river cruise for those looking for something far removed from the ‘ordinary’ voyages along the Danube.
Sailing on the Ganges River, Uniworld’s India’s Golden Triangle & the Sacred Ganges whisks guests to the some of the most revered and culturally-rich areas of the country. This is the real deal: a full immersion itinerary that combines a weeklong voyage aboard the Ganges Voyager II with five nights spent on land in exquisite Oberoi Hotel properties along the way. Headquartered in Delhi, a stay in an Oberoi Hotel is the perfect complement to the unique and exacting onboard atmosphere that Uniworld cultivates for each and every river cruise. The line is, after all, part of The Travel Corporation group, which also owns the highly-acclaimed Red Carnation Hotels.
