Sailing from and to Kolkata, the yacht is designed for couples and travellers seeking a private river cruise with personalized service and an itinerary focused on the region’s history and heritage.

Nauka Vilas Offers Private Journeys on the Hooghly

Nauka Vilas features one Luxury Suite with a king-size bed, an ensuite three-fixture bathroom, a walk-in wardrobe and a private sun deck that can be used as an open-air lounge overlooking the river.

Antara Cruises’ latest yacht interiors feature hand-finished teak, large floor-to-ceiling windows, and beautiful river vistas. An onboard culinary team designs menus for guests, fostering a luxurious, home-like environment on the water during the cruise.

The inaugural itinerary, A Romantic Bespoke Journey on the Hooghly, is an all-inclusive three-night, four-day journey tracing the river's history and heritage. The route includes Tribeni, Bandel, Chandernagore, Serampore and Kolkata.

Guests can explore sites connected with different periods of the region's history, including Mughal tombs, terracotta temples, colonial churches and other heritage landmarks. The itinerary includes excursions, meals, beverages, and transfers.

"Nauka Vilas was conceived for travellers who no longer wish to share their journey - not the deck, not the itinerary, not the moment," said Raj Singh, Founder and Chairman of Antara Cruises.

"It is an intimate journey of immersive discovery, reimagined."

The Antara Cruises yacht is suitable for events like anniversaries, birthdays, and honeymoons, with customizable itineraries to meet personal needs.

Nauka Vilas is now open for bookings, with fares starting from ₹1,00,000 per night, including pick-up and drop-off from Kolkata. Itineraries can be customized according to guest requirements.
