About Viking Ganges

Viking Ganges is an upcoming 80-guest ship built for the Brahmaputra River in northeastern India, the second Viking ship there after the Viking Brahmaputra. Its name comes from the Sanskrit ganga, meaning river, and is tied to the Hindu goddess Ganga. Viking said in March 2026 that it was under construction for a 2028 debut; its first listed Wonders of India departure leaves Delhi on October 13, 2028. It will sail Wonders of India, whose eight-night Brahmaputra cruise runs between Guwahati and Nimati Ghat in Assam, framed by stays in Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Its 40 staterooms all have verandas, and the ship has an open-air Sky Bar, a spa and fitness center, and an elevator.
