Charaidew II

The German tour operator Phoenix Reisen was founded in 1973. In 1988 they started cruising the oceans with the charter of the ship Maxim Gorki. Starting as a pure ocean shipping company, Phoenix Reisen expanded its range in 1993 to include the popular river cruises. The four well-known ocean liners are now joined by more than 30 river ships as well as a few smaller ships for exceptional destinations. The shipping company is still in family hands and attaches great importance to a friendly and pleasant atmosphere aboard their ships.

The MS Charaidew II was built especially for trips on the rivers of East India and has been sailing the Brahmaputra since 2018. The ship was built in colonial style and offers space for a maximum of 34 passengers on 3 passenger decks. In a familial atmosphere, the ship takes you through the Assam tea region to numerous wildlife parks in the region.

As on all Phoenix ships, the atmosphere on board the MS Charaidew II is cosy and informal. In addition, the ship offers a unique family atmosphere due to the small number of guests. The dress code on board is casual and sporty, matching the tropical temperatures of India.

Look forward to a rich breakfast buffet as well as enjoyable lunches and dinners, each in one table time. The well-rehearsed kitchen and service team will spoil you with all the amenities that local cuisine has to offer. During the day you get free mineral water, tea and coffee.

Entertainment on board this small ship is only available in limited form, here the route becomes the destination. The Indian crew of the ship is looking forward to bring their home country closer to you from the water side. Simply enjoy the view from the observation- and sundeck.

A variety of shore excursions gives you the opportunity to get to know the country and its people along the route. The included excursion program is adapted to the lay times of the ship and is accompanied by qualified tour guides. The excursions usually take place in German (if there are any exceptions, a German-speaking attendant accompanies the ship on the excursion). A large number of excursions is already included in river trips in India.

If you want to travel relaxed and in a familial atmosphere on the Brahmaputra in India, you are in the right place on board the MS Charaidew II.
