Pandaw has expanded its Hooghly river cruise offerings with a series of new itineraries
The new series complies a selection of new three- and four-night Hooghly River itineraries, which is designed for travellers who may not have the time for a week-long river expedition.
The new itineraries begin and end in Kolkata, and can be seamlessly combined with popular destinations such as Delhi, Agra, Rajasthan, Darjeeling, Assam, and Kerala.
The launch reflects a growing trend towards multi-centre holidays, where travellers seek a greater variety of experiences within a single trip.
India's Ministry of Tourism revealed in 2025 data that long-haul demand for India remains strong, with the United States being the country's largest long-haul source market with 1.81 million arrivals.
Yves Van Kerrebroeck, Commercial Director at Pandaw Cruises, commented, "Guests are increasingly combining places like Rajasthan, Darjeeling, Assam, or kerala into one journey, and they're looking for experiences that fit naturally between those destinations. Our new Hooghly itineraries make that possible, giving travel advisors and DMCs a flexible river cruise product that adds a completely different dimension to a wider India holiday."
