Antara Cruises, India’s pioneering luxury river cruise operator, has joined Serandipians, the prestigious international network of bespoke travel designers, luxury hotels, and curated experiences. The partnership is a significant milestone in Antara’s strategy to position its river journeys among the world’s finest luxury travel offerings and to connect with a highly discerning global audience.
Serandipians is renowned for assembling an invitation-only portfolio of luxury brands that embody exceptional service, creative vision, and authentic storytelling. Its members are selected for their ability to deliver unique, personalised experiences to the world’s most sophisticated travellers – qualities that Antara Cruises has been cultivating through its elegant voyages along India’s most iconic waterways.
“We are proud to join the Serandipians community, as it represents a shared commitment to delivering extraordinary, culturally immersive experiences,” said Raj Singh, Chairman of Antara Cruises. “This partnership opens new pathways for global travellers seeking authentic, intimate, and transformational voyages, directly connecting them with India’s rich heritage from a truly luxurious vantage point.”
Antara Cruises has appointed Vineet Arora as its new Chief Operating Officer. With more than two decades of experience in hospitality, Arora returns to the river cruise operator after previously serving as Vice President. His appointment is expected to support Antara’s long-term strategic plans, as the company continues to expand its luxury river cruise offerings across India.
Antara Cruises operates meticulously designed all-suite vessels that blend heritage, sustainability, and refined elegance. Its itineraries feature UNESCO World Heritage sites, immersive shore excursions, and meaningful cultural encounters, offering guests an exceptional perspective on India’s diverse landscapes and traditions. By becoming a member of Serandipians, Antara Cruises will collaborate closely with top-tier luxury travel designers and trade partners worldwide, enhancing its visibility within the high-end travel market. The move also reinforces India’s positioning as an emerging destination for luxury river cruising, catering to travellers in search of exclusive, experience-rich journeys.
