Your day-by-day itinerary
|
Day 1 – 2 | New Delhi
You will be greeted by a Uniworld representative and transferred to the Oberoi New Delhi hotel. India’s sprawling capital city is colourful, confounding, and captivating. Your expertly led city tour provides an ideal first foray into this fascinating land. To cap off your day after taking in the sights of scenic New Delhi, relax this evening over a delicious dinner at the Oberoi.
|
|
|
Day 3 | New Delhi, Transfer to Agra
This morning you will check out of your New Delhi hotel and head south via motorcoach to Agra, the site of Shah Jahan’s best-known building project, the exquisite Taj Mahal. You’ll visit the Taj Mahal this afternoon and stay for sunset, as the monument’s changing colours draw comparisons to the shifting mood of the late Emperor’s wife.
|
|
|
Day 4 | Agra, Transfer to Jaipur
Is the Taj Mahal best seen at sunset or sunrise? It’s an impossible question to answer, so Uniworld guests have the rare pleasure of experiencing both. Wake up early this morning to see the white marble monument aglow with the rosy tinge of dawn. You’ll spend your next two nights at the beautiful Oberoi Rajvilas. The luxury hotel sits on 32 acres of landscaped gardens and is built around an ancient Shiva temple.
|
|
|
Day 5 | Jaipur
Pink is the colour of hospitality in Rajasthan, which gives you an idea of what to expect in the “Pink City” of Jaipur.
|
|
|
Day 6 | Jaipur, Fly to Kolkata (Embark) Cruising The Ganges River
Settle into your beautifully appointed suite aboard the Ganges Voyager II in Kolkata.
|
|
|
Day 7 | Kalna
Kalna, once an important trade port on the river, is best known today for the magnificent Hindu temples built by the maharajas of Bardhaman— which you’ll experience today. After marvelling at the astonishing Rajbari temple complex, you may opt to walk with your guide through the colourful local market.
|
|
|
Day 8 | Matiari
Your ship serves as a time machine today, transporting you hundreds of years into the past, as we travel to the authentic artisan village of Matiari.
|
|
|
Day 9 | Murshidabad, Baranagar
Today’s adventures take you to a duo of Bengali towns—Murshidabad and Baranagar—each one boasting surprising and beautiful architectural monuments closely linked to the ruling families of the area.
|
|
|
Day 10 | The Ganges, Khusbagh, Mayapur
One of the world’s most sacred bodies of water, the Ganges River flows through a myriad of small villages and highly populated cities throughout India and Bangladesh. Take in the remarkable scenery as you sail and be on the lookout for a rare sighting of the endangered Ganges river dolphin.
Also today, watch as a skilled practitioner of mehndi demonstrates how the intricate henna patterns are created, and discover the meanings of the traditional motifs.
|
|
|
Day 11 | Mayapur, Chandannagar
Few places of worship exist on such a head-spinning scale as what you will witness today in Mayapur, the centre of the international Hare Krishna movement and home to the new Temple of the Vedic Planetarium, still under construction. Most students of history know a thing or two about the British colonial powers in India, but few are aware that the French had colonies here as well. You’ll visit this former French outpost today.
|
|
|
Day 12 | Kolkata
The city of Kolkata is synonymous with the enduring legacies of Mother Teresa and the colonial-era British Raj, both of which you will get better acquainted with today.
|
|
|
Day 13 | Kolkata (Disembark)
Your incredible Indian adventure ends early this morning, as you disembark and transfer to the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport for your flight home

Uniworld, Ganges Voyager II
Jan, Product Executive
|
“I sailed on Uniworld’s Ganges Voyager II, an intimate ship with a maximum of 56 guests and all the comforts of a five-star hotel. All suites have a cosy sitting area, a French balcony with floor-to-ceiling glass doors and are exquisitely decorated to fit their surroundings.
The architecture and views were mesmerising everywhere went but the highlight for me had to be visiting the Taj Mahal, where we witnessed the sunset on this beautiful masterpiece. Words cannot describe the feeling of visiting this awe-inspiring building.”
