Bengal Ganga
The 56-guest Bengal Ganga, built in 2004,
hearkens back to an earlier era, when India’s
colonial-style steamers were used to ferry
important officials and celebrities through
far-flung deltas. All cabins have individually
controlled air conditioning, electronic mini-
safe, luggage storage, wardrobe, writing desk,
and amenities include a hairdryer, bathrobes,
and slippers. Upper and main deck cabins have
their own deck space with rattan chairs and
table outside the cabin. Public areas include
a sun deck, solarium, library, lounge and bar,
and dining room. Meals are served buffet
style, with mainly Indian cuisine but also some
Western choices. An open-bridge policy is
in effect at most times. The Bengal Ganga is
served by a crew of 30.

Caledonian Sky & Island Sky
Built in 1991 as a private yacht, the Caledonian
Sky has been completely refurbished to become
an elegant expedition vessel. She carries 100-
114 guests, depending on the destination,
in spacious suites offering ocean views,
sitting area (some with a private balcony),
well-appointed bathrooms, flat-screen TV,
telephone, personal safe, hairdryer, and mini-
fridge. The ship also has a dining room, two
bars, library, lounge with panoramic floor-to-
ceiling windows, a medical clinic and doctor,
small gym and salon, ample outdoor decks,
and an elevator that serves all decks. A fleet of
Zodiacs allows landings at remote locations.
We also offer cruises aboard her sister ship, the
Island Sky.

Callisto
The elegant 34-guest Callisto offers an
intimate experience aboard a boutique yacht.
Her small size allows visits to unspoiled ports,
pristine beaches, and coves and harbors that are
familiar to fishermen and other sailors of small
craft, but inaccessible to large cruise liners. The
spacious staterooms are beautifully furnished,
and all have sea views (with large windows on
the Leto deck and portholes on the Daphne
deck). Cabins are air conditioned and feature
twin or double beds, telephone, TV/DVD,
minisafe, minibar, and marble-appointed bath
with shower. The lounge is warm and inviting,
and meals are served at a single, unassigned
seating in the spacious dining area or al fresco
on one of her decks. Serviced by a crew of 18,
the Callisto also features a library, email service,
Jacuzzi, and a swimming platform.
