Throughout its history, the river played a crucial role in the rise and growth of Calcutta. Although the city has now grown tremendously in size and infrastructure, its connection with the river still thrives. On this premium breakfast cruise in collaboration with The Barge Company, you will discover the city from the river: learn about its historic ghats that form the closest link between the city and the river, learn about the industrial, twin-city of Howrah and marvel at some spectacular examples of infrastructure like the Howrah Bridge and Howrah Station.
The cruise includes a short heritage walk along the strand of the old Vaishnavite cult-centre and the erstwhile Dutch colony of Baranagar, which also has a deep connection with the Freedom Movement.
Scrumptious breakfast on the cruise is served by Cup Ebong!
