The intimate vessel will accommodate 80 guests in 40 outside staterooms, including two Explorer Suites, with Scandinavian-inspired interiors, private verandas, panoramic public spaces and a strong emphasis on viewing the surrounding landscape. Its compact design is intended for the Brahmaputra’s navigation requirements.
