ewizabeff Posted September 3, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 3, 2014 According to their Facebook page: We’re very excited to announce the newest addition to our collection of boutique river cruises and tours—“India’s Golden Triangle & the Sacred Ganges!” Sailing from New Delhi to Kolkata, the 12-night itinerary will include seven nights onboard the new all-suite Ganges Voyager II, the most ultra-luxurious river cruise ship sailing the Ganges River. Set to debut in January 2016, our new India program will be open to book on October 15, 2014. More information will be available in the coming months. I still don't know if I'm a fan of river cruising or Uniworld (I'll find out next week), but I've always wanted to go to India but was concerned about traveling in the country. I'm very intrigued by this option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yggdrasil98 Posted September 4, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Interesting, I had been looking at another option. I am a fan of Uniworld (travelling with them in three weeks!) so I too will watch this spot! Thanks for the info :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very intrigued by this option. Uniworld is Great! We love it. I would be cautious if the trip is on a ship that is Not owned by Uniworld and my guess is it won't be. Note: this opinion is Not based on personal experience since I have only travelled on ships this cruise line owns but from numerous comments I have read about the cruises to the more exotic places like China, SE Asia and Russia.

Rare Familygoboston Posted September 16, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) I just got a mailing on this...it looks fascinating! I've always been interested in India, but I'm concerned about the crowds, which generally overwhelm me. Having a floating hotel apart from the mainland would be a wonderful way to address that! I'm wondering if my TA could add on a tiger safari? Have not River cruised (yet) but this line was offered along with AMA by my TA for my upcoming cruise, so I'm thinking they might be similar? Anyone know what to expect from Uniworld? Because it's a new ship, I'm inclined to think it's been purpose built for this itinerary by Uniworld, the decor was very Indian inspired and the descriptions of dining also mentioned purpose built authentic Indian dining areas!

jklc123 Posted September 24, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Oh Boy -- another addition to the Bucket List! Very intriguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewizabeff Posted September 25, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted September 25, 2014 If I hadn't just signed up for Cambodia/Vietnam over Christmas 2015, I'd be considering being among the first on this itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcentric Posted March 30, 2015 #8 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I just made reservations for my wife and I on the 12/8/16 to 12/20/16 sailing. We have never traveled with Uniworld before. Our three previous river cruises were with Viking: Grand European, China & Tibet and the Christmas Markets with Empires of the Mediterranean on the Viking Star this September. River cruising is wonderful! George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
