SUMPTUOUS ARABIA & INDIA’S GOLDEN TRIANGLE

Rich in tradition, architecture and history, India needs no introduction. It’s home to some of the most favoured cuisine in the world, varied in its cultural climate, and the perfect place to warm your soul in spirituality.

The many elements that make up the greatness of India are ingredients in a smörgåsbord of pancake-flat plains and crumbling forts, dusted with spice and washed down with a cooling glass of lassi (a yoghurt drink favoured across the country).

The Golden Triangle is an experience situated in India, offering the perfect introduction to three of the region’s top destinations: Jaipur, Delhi and Agra. The tour explores the history and splendour across India, including a number of unforgettable experiences and highlights.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Celebrate New Year’s Eve at sea:

During your ten-night premium-luxury cruise aboard Riviera you will have chance to ring in the new year. Celebrate with your fellow guests and enjoy special events and memories to last forever as you welcome in 2024 together.

Explore the cities of Delhi and Jaipur with sightseeing tours of both regions including visits to iconic attractions such as Ghandi’s cremation site, Raj Ghat; the narrow lanes of Chandhi; the sights of Old & New Delhi; Jantar Mantar; and the Palace of Winds (Hawa Mahal).
