We are proud to share a milestone that reflects not only Antara Cruises’ journey, but the growing presence of India on the global river-cruising map.

Antara Cruises has been shortlisted for the Best for Touring and Adventure category at the Wave Awards 2026, one of the global cruise industry’s most respected platforms.

 

This recognition celebrates our vision of introducing travellers from around the world to India’s extraordinary rivers, heritage, landscapes and communities through immersive journeys that are authentic, sophisticated and globally relevant.

 

 

From navigating historic waterways to creating thoughtfully curated experiences shaped by local culture, cuisine and discovery, Antara Cruises is offering a distinctive way to experience India—slowly, meaningfully and from the unique perspective of its rivers.

 

 

Recognition on an international stage reinforces our commitment to establishing India as one of the world’s most compelling river-cruise destinations, while setting new standards for culturally immersive and responsible exploration.

 

 

We extend our sincere gratitude to our guests, partners and team members around the world who continue to be part of this remarkable journey.
