Antara Cruises unveils Antara Events, a one-of-a-kind experience that transforms the MV Bengal Ganga into a luxury floating venue for weddings, corporate events, and cultural celebrations along the Ganges.
Antara Cruises, India’s premier luxury river cruise brand, has introduced Antara Events, a concept designed to redefine how celebrations and gatherings are hosted along the Ganges. The new offering curates bespoke events aboard the boutique ship MV Bengal Ganga, combining timeless luxury with modern hospitality and cultural immersion.

Inspired by the elegance of traditional Burmese river vessels and 1970s aesthetics, MV Bengal Ganga offers an intimate yet opulent setting for milestone occasions. The vessel houses 20 elegantly designed suites, spacious lounges, and polished teakwood sundecks. Its open-air deck offers sweeping river views, creating a cinematic backdrop for weddings, receptions, cocktail evenings, and private celebrations.
For professionals seeking unique corporate experiences, the ship includes a fully equipped lounge with audiovisual facilities and Wi-Fi, making it ideal for off-site meetings, retreats, or product launches. The tranquil movement of the Ganges and the ship’s refined interiors together create a serene yet inspiring venue that merges business with leisure.
Reflecting Antara’s signature philosophy of all-inclusive hospitality, every Antara Event ensures that guests are immersed in comfort and culture from the moment they step aboard. “From curated dining experiences featuring regional and international delicacies to wellness offerings like spa therapies and sunrise yoga sessions, every aspect is designed to deliver a seamless and memorable journey,” shared Raj Singh, Founder Chairman of Antara Cruises.
Each event is completely customizable—from décor, dining, and entertainment to onboard activities and sailing routes. Guests can choose between three-hour short sails or multi-night voyages that explore ancient ghats, heritage towns, and riverside temples. For longer charters, Antara Events also offers Sandbank Parties, exclusive celebrations on secluded riverbanks where guests can dine and dance under a starlit sky.
“At Antara Cruises, we don’t just host events; we curate legacies,” said Singh. “Every occasion is crafted to reflect the host’s vision, creating memories that flow as gracefully as the Ganges itself.”
With this launch, Antara Cruises redefines event luxury—transforming the river into an experience where culture, serenity, and celebration converge.
