Sukapha-The Historic Hugli
|
| | These 7-night cruises, upstream or downstream with return journey by rail, take you along the intimate Ganges sidestream, the River Hugli, which flows from Farakka on the main river down to Kolkata. As well as sightseeing of Kolkata itself and the European colonies just outside, the cruise takes in Murshidabad, capital of the Nawabs of Bengal, the battlefield of Plassey close by, and the many monuments of the medieval Islamic capital of Gaur. A highlight are several delightful and little known Bengali Terracotta temples. Cruises can be combined with Ganges cruises on most dates.

The Sukapha is a 40m long twin-engine steel-hulled passenger boat. She provides 12 generous-sized twin-bedded cabins with en-suite shower and WC. All cabin accommodation is on the upper deck, as is a bar and saloon opening onto a front deck. All cabins and public rooms on both ships are air-conditioned.

Like her sister ship, Charaidew, Sukapha is designed with the fragility of the River Bhramaputra's surrounding environment in mind. Their practically identical designs satisfy popular demand and practicality while offering passengers twice the opportunity to cruise the Brahmaputra in style.
A dining room with full-length opening glass doors on each side is on the lower deck, while the upper deck hosts a spacious saloon with French doors opening onto a front balcony.
