Description
Inspired by traditional Burmese river vessels and colonial-era steamships, the MV Bengal Ganga offers a unique blend of heritage charm and contemporary flair.
Originally built in 2004 and recently refreshed, the ship now features an eclectic 1970s-inspired décor that brings together wood, metal, and leather to complement the gleaming Burmese teak floors and decks.
With just 20-24* cabins, the Bengal Ganga offers an intimate and relaxed cruising experience. The newly introduced design elements—curved motifs, rounded edges, and bold colour accents—are paired with striking artwork, creating a stylish yet restful atmosphere throughout.
Each cabin opens onto a communal balcony, inviting you to unwind and take in the ever-changing scenery of the Ganges. Whether you're enjoying the golden glow of sunset or the quiet rhythm of the river, the Bengal Ganga surrounds you with old-world elegance and modern comfort.
*4 suite cabins are convertible to 2 separate deluxe cabins.

Late last year, in the prestigious ‘Telegraph Travel Awards’, readers voted Riviera Travel the ‘UK’s favourite Tour Operator’ and second ‘Best River Cruise Operator’ Earlier this year, Which? — probably the country’s most respected consumer organization — voted Riviera Travel the UK’s ‘Best Escorted Tour Operator’ and awarded us their coveted ‘Recommended Provider’ status, the only company in this category to achieve this.
Most recently, in October 2012, at the ‘Guardian & Observer Travel Awards’, their readers voted us second ‘Best Short Break Operator’ No other travel company of any size can match the quantity and quality of this recognition, so if any other Tour Operator claims to be the best, it is just that — their claim; what we have received is the customers’ verdict.
