In January and February, the global tourism and cruise line was abuzz with the news of the world's longest cruise ship, MV Ganga Vilas. The voyage covered approximately 32,000 km in 51 days, crossing 27 river systems of five states and two countries via the Ganga Brahmaputra river systems. Distance covered. Starting from Varanasi, the heart of Uttar Pradesh, to Dibrugarh in Assam, it had many stops and traveled to about 50 places.
