Can we bring our own cake or food on board?

Yes, you are welcome to bring personal celebratory items, or our team can arrange gourmet eggless cakes and Banarasi treats in advance.

Which ghat is best for an anniversary boat departure?

Assi Ghat or Namo Ghat are highly recommended because they offer cleaner boarding ramps, easier vehicular drop-off, and quieter starting waters before reaching the Aarti ghats.

How far in advance should an anniversary boat be booked?

We suggest reserving at least 3 to 5 days in advance so our styling team can customize floral arrangements and confirm bakery orders.
