Pandaw Announces Details Of New Cruise On The Hooghly River – Fred. Holidays

 

Asian river cruise specialist Pandaw has announced details of an exciting new expedition on the Hooghly River that connects Kolkata with the Ganges. Commencing October 2025, the 18-stateroom Kalaw Pandaw will sail from Kolkata to Baranagar and back on India’s most sacred rivers. The adventure captures the essence of the real India: enchanting countryside, magnificent palaces, mystical temples and artisanal villages, not to mention very friendly folk and riverside communities.

 

The nine-night itinerary also includes two nights in Kolkata, allowing passengers to spend two full days sightseeing in the former capital of the Indian Raj. The city has a huge museum, 18th-century churches, temples, mosques and architectural splendours that reflect the Raj’s glory days. On the final day, passengers will enjoy a late disembarkation with full board catering as most international flights from India depart in the evening.

 

Fred. Holidays, Pandaw’s GSA in the UK, has packaged up this itinerary with regular departures between October 2025 and February 2026, and September 2026 and March 2027. Prices from 3,499 per person including return flights from London (regional flights available on request), overseas airport transfers and the nine-night cruise with all meals, excursions and activities plus a complimentary drinks package. Plus there is no single supplement for the first season.
