Antara Cruises

Sustainability

On this blue planet, one thing is certain: water is life. From clean drinking reserves to healthy marine ecosystems, it’s the vital element that sustains us. This precious liquid asset needs protecting and we do everything in our power to help the planet. A few of the measures that we deploy across Antara Cruises are

Reverse Osmosis Plant

Reverse Osmosis Plant

All of our ships are installed with RO plants to desalinate, sterilize and generate fresh water from the river, which is then used for drinking or for operational purposes on the ship.

E-Rickshaws

We use electricity driven rickshaws for all our off-board excursions in the cities and villages. In addition to being an eco-friendly alternative, the e-rickshaws also prevent noise pollution and provide an easy livelihood to the common man.

Hospital Grade Silencers

Hospital Grade Silencers

All our ships are fitted with hospital grade silencers to keep the noise levels to minimum. This allows all our guests to enjoy the river voyage in peace and enjoy the sounds that they signed up for.

Oil Water Separator (OWS) Machines

Ships produce a mixture of oil and water, which needs to be separated before discharging the waste out of the ship. We use highly effective Oil Water Separator Machines which are generally used in sea-going vessels. These OWS machines extract maximum amount of oil from water particles to avoid river contamination.

Caring for the River and its Creatures

Caring for the River and its Creatures

All our ships have premium quality Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) to treat the waste onboard so that it does not contaminate the water or land when it is disposed of. We also use eco-friendly bags for garbage and bio-degradable toilet papers. Additionally, we avoid using plastic water bottles and provide specially made aluminium water bottles, which the guests are free to take home as souvenirs. Most importantly, we place deterrents on all our ships in the Ganga to protect dolphins.
