Asian river cruise specialist Pandaw has introduced all-inclusive drinks on its India expeditions.
Local soft drinks, mixers, spirits and beers are now included as part of the cruise fare, along with onboard house wine during lunch and dinner only.
Pandaw’s India cruises take place on the lower and upper Ganges as well as on the Brahmaputra.
Both rivers are of major importance to India, offering a place of worship as well as historically important towns and cities forming life on the banks.
Itineraries include
- 10-night The Full Brahmaputra between Guwahati and Dibrugarh
- 12- and 14-night The All Ganges between Kolkata and Varanasi
- Seven-night The Brahmaputra round trip Guwahati
- Seven-night The Lower Ganges River between Kolkata and Farakka
- Seven-night The Upper Ganges River between Varanasi and Farakka
- Three- and four-night Exploring West Bengal between Kolkata and Murshidabad
As the Upper Ganges expeditions travel through the state of Bihar where alcohol is not permitted, drinks package rates take this into account.
