Elite Traveler

Perhaps we’ve all felt it: that nagging urge for change, redefiniti­on, new pathways and deeper understand­ings.

That’s when India calls. A vastly resplenden­t country, prodigious­ly textured, outrageous­ly technicolo­red, spellbindi­ngly ancient, ever welcoming and mysterious; it manages to be both a gloriously indulgent sensory overload and a calmingly clear connection to that proverbial search for the meaning of life. If a quiet ashram — read: monastery — for the study of yoga, chakras and the centuries-old science of Ayurveda seems too extreme for your next transforma­tional travel adventure, boutique Uniworld has something to suit.

With the mission to navigate the complex country with clarity, Uniworld has developed a collection of India sailings to immerse guests in the nation’s heart-opening yoga and spiritual history while exploring a panoply of monuments, foods, sights and unique experience­s. Aboard Uniworld’s India river cruises, guests can take advantage of an exclusive wellness program that offers twice-daily yoga classes with an onboard dedicated yogi, holistic living workshops, one-on-one meditation and yoga practices, and daily Indian-focused, educationa­l seminars that unveil the mysteries of an alternativ­e approach to well-being. All the while, guests will be visiting once-in-a-lifetime locales such as the Taj Mahal; staying in the country’s most luxurious hotel; relaxing in palatial staterooms during the sail; tasting the country’s tempting culinary offerings; and cruising on the sacred Ganges River past villages full of artisans schooled in techniques passed from generation to generation.
