Antara Cruises

Antara Cruises offers boutique all-suite cruises through India's untouched landscapes with unparalleled hospitality, promising unforgettable journeys. Guests, immersed in cultural and natural habitats, gain privileged access to pristine vistas untouched by mass tourism, while respecting local communities and landscapes. Antara Cruises aims to redefine perspectives of the region and regenerate riparian communities and landscapes through responsible voyages along the waterways. These journeys feature expert-led interactions, Ayurveda and Yoga, rich excursions to local monuments using traditional transport, farm-to-table dining, social development projects, and habitat conservation initiatives, unveiling the authentic kaleidoscope of living heritage along the waterways that have inspired global movements in philosophy, art, science, and technological innovation.
As an indigenous company that designs and handcrafts vessels, Antara Cruises pioneered the first Indian river journeys in over 100 years along the Ganges, followed by the world’s longest river cruise, and is developing new ships and routes for the coming years. Additionally, in collaboration with the Government of India and various states, the company works on policy and infrastructure levels to reintroduce low-impact river cruising, showcasing new regions across South Asia that redefine perspectives and benefit local communities and environments.
