Have a Whale of a Time!

Welcome to The Barge Company, a premium river cruise experiences provider from the house of Eastern Navigation Pvt. Ltd. (Estd. 1963). With a legacy in ship-building, inland water transport, and marine infrastructure, we bring to you unparalleled river experiences on the Ganges.

​

For the past decade, we have been delighting our guests with our iconic party barges – ‘Riviera’, ‘Desire’, and the newest addition, ‘Dolce Vita’. Each of our barges is meticulously designed and constructed in-house, ensuring that customer experience is at the heart of our philosophy. Our goal is to provide you with a comprehensive 360-degree river experience.

​

Our commitment to constant innovation has led us to embark on our most ambitious project yet – the complete restoration of a steam engine-operated paddle steamer originally constructed in 1945. This colonial-era vessel, now reimagined as ‘The Bengal Paddle’, offers a unique river experience on the Hooghly, being the last surviving Paddle Steamer in all of India.

​

Embark on a journey with The Barge Company and create memories that will last a lifetime. Whether you’re planning a bespoke event or looking for a unique river cruise experience in Kolkata, we have the perfect vessel and experience for you.
