A comfortable but simple vessel, life aboard the Sukapha is all about relaxation and the chance to see some of India’s rural villages, colourful towns and fascinating wildlife on your journey along the river. The Sukapha plies the waters of the Hugli and Ganges Rivers. The Hugli carries you through the heart of colonial India, meandering past Dutch and French settlements whilst the Ganges is India's most spiritual river and takes you to remote sites that are inaccessible by road.

The spacious upper deck complete with bar provides an excellent vantage point from which to spot exotic birdlife and admire the picturesque landscapes as you glide along the water, while the small spa allows you to truly relax. The best memories are made away from the boat, however, and a variety of guided excursions will take you ashore, allowing you to get an authentic taste of India.

The 12 twin bed cabins are all located on the top deck for optimum views across the river. Each cabin is air conditioned and features an en suite and large picture windows.
