What excursions can I go on during an India cruise?

Depending which India cruise you choose, you’ll get to experience different sides to the country. Tours along the Ganges will offer you the chance to understand colonial rule and how the British Empire influenced everything from architecture to everyday life. You’ll get to ride on rickshaws to ancient temples, explore tombs and visit museums.
