REVIEW
The cruise was very special because the Brahmaputra is a mighty river very special in its magnificence.
It was a small boat and we were just 22 of us all power of a group and several of us knew each other which made it comfortable. But also met nice people and discovered connections.
The service on the boat was outstanding and the crew were always one step ahead in anticipating our needs.
What really struck me is how they functioned as a team with each one making a significant contribution. A great example of employees feeling like owners and bringing that “extra” into their roles.
We were lucky to have two naturalists with us who had excellent knowledge of the region, the flora and fauna making the trip interesting and instructive. The captain of the boat and the crew were also highly skilled and knowledgeable and happy to share their expertise if one was interested. Particularly as the Brahmaputra needs a special level of expertise and experience to navigate.
It was a happy bunch which got together on the lovely deck to talk, drink and share experiences when we were not out on an excursion.
All in all a great happy and memorable cruise!
