Detailed cruise program
  • Day 1:

    Kolkata / India

    Majestic temples, colonial architecture, and a kaleidoscope of street aromas make Kolkata an unforgettable destination for those seeking to discover the real India. This city in the east of the country, stretched along the Hooghly River, enchants with its contrasts: from the calm alleys of Victoria Park to the bustling markets full of street food and vibrant fabrics.

    Kolkata is not only the cultural capital of India, but also the home of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mother Teresa. Here, visitors can explore her museum-home, visit the Indian Museum — one of the oldest in Asia, and admire the iconic Howrah Bridge that links the vibrant riverbanks of this metropolis. A place where past and present flow together, inviting travelers to pause, breathe in the spices, and feel the heartbeat of a great city.

  • Day 2:

    Kalna Vikaini / India

    Hidden away from the busy tourist trails, Kalna-Vikaini reveals a different side of India — calm, authentic, and steeped in tradition. You won’t find crowds here, which makes the village especially appealing for travelers seeking a deeper connection with local culture and people.

    The surroundings of Kalna-Vikaini offer picturesque rural landscapes, fields that change color with the seasons, and vibrant local markets where visitors can try traditional homemade food and experience centuries-old crafts. It’s a place where time seems to stand still, allowing you to feel the rhythm of heartfelt, simple Indian life.

  • Day 3:

    Matiari / Pakistan

    Where ancient traditions blend seamlessly into everyday life lies the city of Matiari — the heart of artisanal craftsmanship in the Sindh province. This place is renowned for its workshops where the secrets of lacquerware, decorated with intricate hand-painted designs, are passed down through generations. The streets are full of color: vibrant bazaars, the aroma of spices, and lively tea stalls create a special atmosphere.

    Matiari is ideal for travelers seeking authentic cultural experiences. Here, you can not only purchase unique handmade items but also observe the process of their creation. The hospitality of the locals, the unhurried pace of life, and the historical heritage turn a visit to this city into a true journey through time.

  • Day 6:

    Mayapur / India

    Amidst green meadows and the sacred waters of the Ganges lies Mayapur, the spiritual heart of Bengal and the center of the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition. It is a place where the stillness of nature harmonizes with the chanting of pilgrims, and each sunrise is filled with the sound of bells and devotional songs. It is believed that this is the birthplace of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu — a saint who changed the spiritual course of India and founded the sankirtan movement.

    Mayapur attracts not only the faithful but also travelers seeking peace and cultural enrichment. Its main attraction is the grand Temple of the Vedic Planetarium, still under construction but already astonishing in scale. Visitors can take part in spiritual rituals, explore eco-community farms, and simply enjoy an atmosphere where ancient traditions blend with vibrant modern life.
