Riviera Travel RV Bengal Ganga
Overview
Inspired by traditional Burmese river vessels and colonial-era steamships, the MV Bengal Ganga offers a unique blend of heritage charm and contemporary flair.
Originally built in 2004 and recently refreshed, the ship now features an eclectic 1970s-inspired décor that brings together wood, metal, and leather to complement the gleaming Burmese teak floors and decks.
With just 20-24* cabins, the Bengal Ganga offers an intimate and relaxed cruising experience. The newly introduced design elements—curved motifs, rounded edges, and bold colour accents—are paired with striking artwork, creating a stylish yet restful atmosphere throughout.
Each cabin opens onto a communal balcony, inviting you to unwind and take in the ever-changing scenery of the Ganges. Whether you're enjoying the golden glow of sunset or the quiet rhythm of the river, the Bengal Ganga surrounds you with old-world elegance and modern comfort.
