What is the name of one of the world’s longest river cruise that was flagged off from Varanasi in January 2023 ?
MV Ganga Vilas
The river cruise flagged off from Varanasi in January 2023 is MV Ganga Vilas.
It set out on a voyage of about 3,200 kilometres over roughly fifty days, running down the Ganga to Bangladesh, along the Meghna and Jamuna, and then up the Brahmaputra to Dibrugarh in Assam, crossing more than two dozen river systems and calling at heritage sites along the way. That distance is what made it among the longest river cruises in the world.
The other names are not this vessel. MV Brahmaputra Vilas and other Vilas-class boats operate shorter itineraries on individual rivers, and MV Sharda Vilas and MV Yamuna Vilas are not the vessel launched on this route.
Hence, the answer is MV Ganga Vilas.
