Restaurant India News: Antara Cruises Introduces Antara Events for Exclusive Celebrations on the Ganges

Antara Cruises, India’s leading luxury river cruise company, has announced the launch of Antara Events, an initiative designed to offer refined event experiences aboard its boutique all-suite ship, MV Bengal Ganga. Combining Antara’s signature hospitality with curated itineraries, the new offering caters to milestone celebrations, corporate gatherings, weddings, off-site events, and product launches, all set against the scenic backdrop of the Ganges.

The MV Bengal Ganga, inspired by traditional Burmese vessels and the aesthetics of the 1970s, offers an intimate setting with expansive lounges, large balconies, and a teakwood sundeck suitable for open-air ceremonies and cocktail events. The ship features 20 well-furnished suites that reflect understated elegance and comfort. It also includes a fully equipped lounge with AV facilities and Wi-Fi, making it suitable for conferences, meetings, and team activities.

“From the moment guests step aboard, they are immersed in a world of curated dining experiences – from hyperlocal, regional to international delicacies, wellness offerings including revitalizing spa treatments and invigorating sunrise yoga sessions, and engaging onboard activities led by seasoned experts. These elements converge to ensure a seamless and memorable event for every guest,” said Raj Singh, Founder Chairman, Antara Cruises.

Customization remains central to the brand’s philosophy, allowing every element—from décor and cuisine to music and sailing routes—to be tailored to the client’s vision. The company offers flexible itineraries, ranging from three-hour sails ideal for shorter events to multi-night voyages exploring the cultural and historical landscapes along the Ganges. For multi-day charters, guests can also host Sandbank Parties, adding a distinct touch to the celebration experience.

“At Antara Cruises, we don't just host events; we curate legacies,” added Raj. “Our commitment is to meticulously craft each occasion, ensuring it resonates with the host's unique vision and unfolds against the stunning backdrop of the Ganges.”

Currently sailing from and to Kolkata, MV Bengal Ganga is available for private charters to host weddings, birthdays, corporate events, product launches, and family gatherings—marking a new direction in India’s luxury event and hospitality landscape.
