Luxury Cruise (AC)
To book a cruise on Dev Diwali in Varanasi rather than an open boat, the Luxury Cruise (AC) is our largest and most comfortable vessel — a genuine multi-deck cruise with an air-conditioned lower cabin, washroom on board and a wide open upper deck for the best unobstructed view of the illuminated ghats. It carries up to 130 guests over a three-hour sailing that covers the full lit stretch of the riverfront, timed around the Ganga Aarti and fireworks. A dedicated crew and safety staff are on board throughout, with onboard photography available for guests who want the evening properly documented. This is the option most families and larger groups choose when they want to book a cruise on Dev Diwali in Varanasi without compromising on comfort.
