    This was my first trip to India and it was amazing. We first started with the Golden Triangle staying in Oberoi hotels along the way. Amazing hotels, food, service and locations are the best in each city. Then we traveled to Kolkata where we boarded our ship for a 7 night Ganges cruise. Wonderful staff, the food was amazing, great rooms and public spaces. Just an amazing trip of a lifetime. I would go back in a heartbeat.

    This was my second trip to India, and by far it was the absolute best way to experience this magical country. It was a perfect balance of 5 star luxury with an authentic connection to the culture and local people. Every day brought delightful surprises. From the visits to the Taj Mahal at sunset and sunrise when it was not crowded, to experiencing all the small villages and towns along the way with their gracious, curious residents. The Ganges Voyager ll ship and staff were outstanding as were the accommodations on land at the Oberoi Hotels. The dining far exceeded my expectations, and so did the local guides with their knowledge and passion.

    This was a magical and life changing experience. We were initially nervous about traveling abroad through Southeast Asia and were pleasantly surprised by the five star experience. The ship is beautiful. We felt safe the entire time. The ships staff was incredibly present and available for all of our needs and more. I wish I could recommend the cruise in a higher way but I guess 5 stars is all that we are allotted. :)
