Brahmaputra Cruise Ships & Onboard Life

Brahmaputra ships are small, comfortable and expedition-minded — a relaxed base for exploring Assam’s wildlife and culture.

What to expect aboard

Intimate expedition ships

Roughly 20–46 guests, with a naturalist aboard and easy access to safaris and villages.

Outward-facing cabins

Windows or balconies onto the great river — watch Assam’s banks and birdlife from your room.

Assamese & Indian cuisine

Regional specialties and international dishes, plus tea from the estates you sail past.

All-inclusive touring

Kaziranga safaris, monastery and village visits, tea tastings and cultural shows included.

Sun deck & naturalist talks

Shaded decks for wildlife spotting, with talks on Assam’s ecology, faith and history.

Warm local hospitality

Gracious Assamese crews and immersive local experiences at every stop.

Because the ships are small and the cruising season is short, cabins and prime wildlife dates sell out well ahead — early booking matters.

We match the ship, cabin and any Kaziranga, Bhutan or Golden Triangle extensions to your interests and budget.
