About Ganges Voyager II
Ganges Voyager II is the all-suite boutique ship Uniworld charters for India. Built in 2016, she is 185 feet long and 41 feet wide, carrying just 56 guests in 28 suites with a staff of 36. Every suite has a sitting area, a French balcony with floor-to-ceiling glass doors and hand-painted murals in the colonial style, with a rain shower, Molton Brown amenities, under-bed storage, a flat-screen TV with on-demand movies and universal plugs.
She is the right ship for travelers who want India at a slower pace and a small, well-staffed vessel. Public rooms are the East India Restaurant, the Governor’s Lounge, a Sun Deck Lounge and Observation Deck, a fitness center and the Voyager Spa. Suites run from the 261-square-foot Signature and Colonial suites to the 400-square-foot Maharaja Suite with its fixed four-poster bed. Uniworld notes that amenities on this chartered ship may differ from its company-owned fleet.
Ganges Voyager II sails the Hooghly arm of the Ganges from Kolkata through rural West Bengal to Murshidabad and back. In 2026 she anchors the 13-day India’s Golden Triangle & the Sacred Ganges journey from New Delhi to Kolkata, with Agra and Jaipur before the cruise; in 2027 Uniworld adds a 16-day Cruise & Rail version from Kolkata to Mumbai aboard the Maharajas’ Express train. SmartCruiser adds bonus onboard credit on sailings where Uniworld allows it, not available booking direct.
