Launched in 2011, MV Mahabaahu was conceptualized and brought to life by passionate Indian entrepreneurs who envisioned offering unique river cruise experiences along the mighty Brahmaputra River. Designed as a boutique expedition vessel, the ship was built with a deep respect for the cultural heritage and natural beauty of Assam. It quickly carved a niche in India's luxury cruise segment by being one of the first to offer in-depth explorations of North East India through the lens of responsible and immersive tourism.
The MV Mahabaahu is a five-deck river cruise ship that brings together comfort, style, and authentic regional charm. It features a range of well-appointed cabins, including balcony suites, luxury rooms, and superior cabins, all offering panoramic views of the river and surrounding landscapes. Onboard, guests enjoy a blend of Indian and international cuisine, cultural performances, yoga sessions, traditional Assamese hospitality, and enriching excursions to historical temples, tribal villages, wildlife sanctuaries, and tea plantations. Adventure elements such as boat safaris, village walks, and wildlife spotting enhance the journey, appealing to travellers seeking both comfort and exploration.
In recent years, MV Mahabaahu has elevated its offerings by collaborating with high-end travel brands and focusing on sustainable tourism. It remains a one-of-a-kind cruise experience in India, offering a seamless blend of luxury, nature, and culture on one of the world’s most enchanting and powerful rivers. With growing interest in experiential travel, it continues to be a pioneer in showcasing the unexplored gems of Assam through river cruising.
