River Cruises

Asia River Cruises

From the Indian Ganges to the Chinese Yangtze, these waterways are almost unmatched in scope and each one offers a compelling glimpse into the unique cultures and histories of those who live in the towns and villages which dot their riverbanks.

To cruise along these rivers is to get to the very heart of what makes Asia special. The excellent food which changes at every port of call, the stunning monuments dedicated to various religions, the glowing neon cities - there is simply nothing in the world that quite compares to the experience of sailing in style down an Asian river on a barge or cruise ship, soaking in the remarkable sights and views, from the sun deck with a glass of something nice in your hand.

“This was a really expensive itinerary and we truly experienced India and Nepal in all their glory. We maybe should have gone in Oct/Nov as the skies over the Himalayas are more likely to be clear but that’s not a fault of the tour itself.
