Pandaw Expeditions, the Singapore-Scottish river cruise operator, will expand its business by offering a series of cruises in the lower Ganges in India, between Kolkata and Farakka.

The seven night itinerary includes calls at seven destinations and a four hour journey by train between Farraklka and Kolkata.

The company will employ the 2008 built Orient Pandaw on the itinerary. The 55 metre or 180 foot long vessel can take 60 passengers, the company said on its website.
