Discover Northern India by rail, from the Ganges at dawn to the gates of the Taj Mahal, before an all-inclusive voyage from Singapore to Hong Kong.
India rewards those who explore slowly, and nothing does that quite like rail travel. Classic trains carry you between Delhi, Lucknow, Varanasi, and Agra, the country unspooling through the carriage window as one city gives way to the next. Dawn in Varanasi is the moment you’ll never lose: your boat slipping past the ghats as they wake, smoke rising, bells sounding, life pouring down to the water. Inland wait the carved temples of Khajuraho and the tiger forests of Panna, before Agra saves its greatest sight for last, the Taj Mahal, rising from the haze.
Next, an all-inclusive voyage draws the journey to a graceful close. From Singapore, embark Celebrity Solstice® and sail the sun-warmed shores of Thailand and Vietnam.
