They are the perfect springboard from which to dive into the adventure
that are our
itineraries. Journeys of the mind and heart which engulf you
in the culture, artistry
and discovery of river life.
Hand-built with care and precision and an eagle eye on sustainability and safety, Antara’s ships are all-suite havens of floating luxury. Our fleet of beautiful, large and small vessels has pioneered cruise ship design suited to the size and volume of Indian rivers, and is piloted by experienced crews.
Vibrant interiors feature hand-crafted furniture, and traditional and contemporary textiles and art, mirroring the landscape and changing hues of water. Spacious, bright and comfortable rooms create a sense of well-being. Large French balconies and free flowing common spaces blur the line between outside and in. Elegant décor, attentive service, and indulgent amenities combine with stunning views (and the occasional dolphin) to make your trip as special on board as it is riverside.
All-inclusive amenities and thoughtful, warm service that makes you feel right at home. Farm to table indigenous and world cuisine that celebrates fresh, local produce. High-end, natural toiletries, packing and unpacking services, and a plush bed with fine linen to sink into. Specialty teas or fine wines, and international films shown on board. A spa, library and cultural performances, retail therapy and complimentary WIFI; vegan food or finding you that perfect photo op – we personalize our attentiveness to your every need while you’re sailing with us.
Sourced locally, inspired by India, and built for the discerning international traveler, the excellent regional and world cuisine served on Antara River Cruises is enhanced by the variety of fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables, as well as dairy, fish, and poultry grown and cultivated in the fertile Indo Gangetic plains. We celebrate both India’s culinary heritage and the gourmet sensibilities of our chefs.
Onboard, we have boutique teas and coffees, a curated mix of Indian and international craft spirits and wine, classic cocktails with seasonal twists and additions like fresh juices, zero calorie tonic waters and healthy alternatives. We serve only bottled water, filled in sterilized glass bottles from our in-house water treatment plant.
Our all-inclusive offerings are served to you by a trained team that is the face of true Indian hospitality. We have the highest staff to guest ratio, and a butler service on request. Travel guides, local artists, starred chefs, historians, exacting housekeepers, swift servers and the friendliest sailors enhance your journey both on the ship and riverside.
With holistic yoga programs, and an inhouse Balinese and Ayurvedic spa on our bigger ships, we make our guests feel good inside and out, in tune with the river’s flow. Enjoy a massage on the sundeck or try out a complimentary yoga or gym class while watching the sun rise on the Ganga. A selection of multilingual books, movies, documentaries and guides are organised for our guests, too.
Carry back a little piece of India from our shop. Browse a handpicked selection of art and craft products that present a modern aesthetic, sourced from craftspeople and designers from the subcontinent through our network of non-profits. Each product tells a story and upholds our dedication to cultural sustainability.
After spending the day on off-board excursions, enjoy dance and music performances, film screenings, cooking classes, tea-tasting or talks by experts on board. If you’re celebrating a special day, or marking a milestone with a private ceremony, we’ll tailor a party for the occasion with authentic, meaningful experiences that will stay with you and your guests for life.
Our journeys are carefully curated to immerse you in the vivid, meditative and thought-provoking experiences of life, history and art along the rivers of South Asia.
