Brahmaputra River Cruises, Tours & Trips

Originating in the Himalayas, the Brahmaputra River flows through Tibet, the Indian state of Assam, and Bangladesh before reaching the Bay of Bengal. The city of Guwahati serves as the starting point for many Brahmaputra River cruises. Extending along the south bank of the river, the older districts of the city, set around ponds, palm trees, temples, traditional houses and colonial-era mansions, are filled with character and local flavor. Guwahati’s Assam Tea Auction at Dispur is the largest trade center in the world for the “crush, tear and curl” tea, which is characteristic of Assam.

Other attractions and activities on your Brahmaputra cruise include village walks, visits to tea gardens and local craft workshops, cycle rickshaw exploration of country towns, barbecues on deserted river islands, and dazzling dance performances. Highlights include the temples in Tezpur, wildlife spotting in the Nameri National Park, and Rhino spotting in the Kaziranga National Park.

Our experts say

A slice of luxury in a remote part of India, this cruise is an amazing way to explore Assam and meet the people who live on the banks of the giant Brahmaputra river.

It may surprise you that one of India’s least visited regions is home to one of the most luxurious river cruises in the country. The MV Mahabaahu glides lazily up and down the mighty Brahmaputra River, past forests, paddy fields and villages.

On board there are talks from expert naturalists, yoga sessions, and the opportunity to get to know fellow passengers over dinner and drinks. There’s also a spa and swimming pool, and of course spotting some of Assam’s most exotic wildlife right from the deck. Known as the Serengeti of India, Assam is home to wild buffalo, huge tuskers, golden langurs, over 450 species of bird, and the majestic Bengal tiger. There’s also a chance to stop and meet the one horned-rhino in Kaziranga National Park.

Rural Assam is home to several indigenous tribal groups with whom guests can interact during village visits, and discover how traditional handicrafts are made. Other shore excursions include temples, national parks and tea estates, where you can share a meal with a tea planter’s family and learn about the origins of English Breakfast Tea. In the evening, stop on an uninhabited island and enjoy sundowners around a blazing bonfire whilst looking forward to what tomorrow will bring.

Remember, this is just a suggested itinerary - your own holiday can be tailored to your preference of budget, duration, locations and experiences. Get in touch to chat over some plans with us.

Day 9: Cruise the Brahmaputra – Mishing villages

What a great cruise. The crew looked after me extremely well. Nothing was too much trouble. Courteous, happy, smiling faces were everywhere. Facilities were good. Thanks for a great time to be long remembered.

David Young

Thank you for this wonderful adventure. Lock and I felt at home in this friendly atmosphere – good service, food and accommodations! My favourite was the Kaziranga National Park, the villages and the restful cruise. Thank you for the experience.

Mary & Lock Rianhard

It’s even a wonderful trip. Seeing & learning about the Assamese culture together with the excellent service of your crew has made it quite memorable. A great pioneering experience with some wonderful highlights and friendly hospitable staff.

Robert Malcolm

This was a wonderful experience: to sail on the Brahamputra river and manage the sand box all along, to have all the attention of the crew where ever we were and yet it was discrete so that we could fully appreciate the Indian experience – MANY THANKS to all. We’ll certainly come back.

Ghislaine and Edward Hawkins

What a trip of a life time! We had an amazing time. What a great staff you had as well. Thank you very much.

How to Choose the Best River Cruises in 2024

Are you in search of an alternative to them that would allow you to travel the route in a new way without any difficulties? Are you one of those people who wants to do it all at a relaxed pace, all the while freshly visiting new places and cultures? River cruises may just exactly be the right choice for you. In this article, we will tell you everything you should know regarding the selection of the best river cruises for the luxuary coach holidays and also offer you some tips on how to upgrade your experience on the river. At the end of this article, you will be equipped with the tools for choosing the best river cruise.

Step 1: Select the Proper Location

The first place would be deciding which river cruise you want to be on. River cruises are available almost everywhere in the world, and some of the most widely used routes every year are navigated in Europe, Asia, and the USA. Explore the things that appeal to you and like the type of nature and culture that you want.

Step 2: Decide on the Duration and Price

The length of the river cruises is always different, it could only be for a couple of days to several weeks. Don’t limit yourself to a certain time frame, and organize your journey based on how many days you have available. For a person who wants to get a little bit of vacation, short cruises are recommended, and for someone who is aiming to enjoy the culture of the place and see every attraction, longer cruises are recommended.

Step 3: Pick the Best Cruise Company

Some cruise lines give a completely different experience than others. Some, in turn, can be undeniably of the high-end or personalized nature, whereas others aim at more budget-friendly tourists. Check different cruise organizations online and read reviews to pick the one that meets your requirements and price. Find cruise lines that offer neat and clean rooms, tasty food menus and diverse entertainment programs both when at sea and on land.

Step 4: Look for the Season

The travel season you take into account to go for a river cruise has a significant weight on your encounter. One of the seasons can offer different and new views and angles for more exploring. Take, for instance, springtime in Europe gives a great sight of blossoming landscapes, and in fall, the fall cruises come with beautiful colours and harvest festivals. Keep the climatic conditions and rainy or sunny activities of your destination in mind while planning your tour.

Step 5: Check the plan of the trip schedule

Ensure that the cruise itinerary you review carefully caters to what you want out of the cruise by including the sights and activities you desire to take part in. Consider the ports of call and the duration for which the ship will be in each port. Be aware of the time you have in each port to see the most. It is of paramount importance to consider the time factor so that the tour is not rushed through the different destinations.

Step 6: Learn about Offshore Expeditions

Of course, offshore journeys form an indispensable part of any river cruise excursion. Seek cruises that feature many different kinds of excursions, including escorted city tours, cultural outings, and various other activities to be enjoyed outdoors. Such a walk might greatly enhance your stay and enable you to discover the real masterpieces of the town from a totally different perspective.

Step 7: Search for special offers and deals.

If you are considering a cruise vacation, you should first cast your eye on special discounts and packages that most cruise companies offer. Try and spell out special offers for lodging, dining and tours. Additionally, booking in advance also makes it likely that you are able to purchase the best prices and seats.

Step 8: Pack Accordingly

When it comes to putting things into your suitcase for river cruising, it differs from other instances of travelling. You can not deny that you will be passing through varying climates and environments. So, make sure you have variable clothing and layers that you can put on.

Step 9: Take an Advantage of the Onboard Experience

River cruises are full of exclusivity, available amenities, and many fun things to experience. Take advantage of the great quality food and wonderful entertainment amenities offered to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. If you are looking for a cruise, the majority will offer cultural programs such as cooking classes or lectures that can flush you with the value of the places you are admiring.

Step 10: Set Your Next Journey.

After you’ve discovered the beauty and comfort of the river cruising, you could probably choose the topic of your next adventure. While the destination on your next river, regional, or even cruise type might change, you’ll be well-equipped for future trips.

River cruises provide a different way -they are peaceful and tranquil environments- for world exploration. By doing as detailed in this article, you will have a chance to choose the best river cruise in 2024 and will also enjoy it perfectly. Keep in mind that going for the exclusive coach holidays and shore excursion can add to the experience and make it even more gripping. After all planning, your cruise will leave a lasting memory of beautiful landmarks, amazing cultural activities, and moments of relaxation that you never thought would be possible.

ABN CHARAIDEW II

ABN Charaidew II is our latest ship to join the fleet. Her length is 44.50 m and breadth is 11.00 m and she is powered by 2 engines. Her extra-shallow draught and a lower profile than conventional designs allow her to cruise faster.

The decor reflects a sense of homecoming to Assam, with touches of colonial elegance, brought to life by traditional Assamese designs on hand-woven cotton fabrics.
