Description

The Mahabaahu is an Indian river cruise ship that sails along the banks of the Brahmaputra River, more than 2,000 miles long, which rises in southwestern Tibet and flows east along the northern slopes of the Himalayas into Chinese territory. The vessel has 23 cabins: two suites, two luxury cabins, seven deluxe cabins with balconies, and 12 superior cabins without balconies. Each unit is air-conditioned and equipped with spacious bathrooms. The staterooms are equipped with flat-screen televisions and satellite connections, minibars, telephones and safes. The staterooms have large panoramic windows that take advantage of the natural light during the day and also provide breathtaking views of the sunset and sunrise over the river, not to mention the moonrise, which is an even richer experience seen from a river cruise ship.
The MV Mahabaahu offers ample common areas on the open-air sun deck with shade canopy, the second deck with pool is equipped with loungers to relax and enjoy drinks while admiring the sandbars, villages and their people, fishermen and the countryside rich in flora and fauna.

Sailing along the majestic Brahmaputra River

Comment

I had the privilege of enjoying an extraordinary experience aboard the Mahabaahu, sailing along the majestic Brahmaputra River. For me it was the discovery of a region completely different from any I had visited before. From the very first moment I felt an intimate and elegant atmosphere. The ship offers a cozy setting that makes the journey even more special. My cabin was bright and comfortable, equipped with every amenity, and the large panoramic windows gifted me unforgettable sunrises and sunsets, with golden light reflecting on the water. I especially loved the almost personalized service, always attentive and discreet. The crew anticipated every need, making me feel truly welcomed throughout the cruise. The common areas, from the shaded sundeck to the pool on the second deck, were perfect for relaxing while observing life along the riverbanks. The intimate exploration of the destination allowed me to truly grasp its authentic essence, turning this cruise into a deep experience.

Great experience on this small river boat, discovering a completely new region for us. Perfect service, cleanliness and really good dining! We had unforgettable excursions and our children had a great time too, with comfortable spaces and everything they needed.
