Overview

  • Turn your cruise call in India into an unforgettable private journey to the Taj Mahal. Designed especially for cruise travellers, this carefully coordinated 3-day shore excursion includes cruise-port transfers, return domestic flights, two nights’ hotel accommodation, a private air-conditioned vehicle, an expert local guide and entrance fees.

    Witness the Taj Mahal at sunrise, explore magnificent Agra Fort and admire the monument again from Mehtab Bagh at sunset. From the moment you leave your cruise port until your return, our team coordinates the important travel arrangements so that you can experience one of the world’s greatest landmarks with comfort, personalised attention and peace of mind.

    Unlike a large cruise-line coach excursion, this is a completely private experience reserved exclusively for you and your travelling companions.
