Bengal Ganga

Specifications for the RV Bengal Ganga

Built in Myanmar in 2004 as a replica of the colonial Clyde steamers, this thoroughly modern ship has 28 outside staterooms (each 168 square feet) on two decks. Fine dining, excellent service, and a hospitable and caring management team all help to make your Ganges River experience very special, and passengers often describe feeling as if they were guests on a private motor yacht rather than passengers on a cruise ship. Although all staterooms are very comfortable and roomy, most passengers prefer to spend their time outside on the deck, observing the fascinating scenes and scenery along the Ganges River.
PLEASE NOTE: There is no elevator between decks on the Bengal Ganga.
