Dinner on the Water, Statue Lit Up Behind You
The Ekta Dinner Cruise pairs a 2-hour evening sailing on the Narmada with views most day visitors never get — the Statue of Unity floodlit against the night sky, Gora Bridge from the water, and the Narmada Aarti ceremony seen from the river rather than the bank. It suits a relaxed evening out, and works especially well for a birthday, anniversary or family milestone dinner.

Why It's Worth Planning For — Once It's Back
Why it's different from a day visit
- The statue floodlit at night, seen from the river — not a view you get from the Viewing Gallery or a road
- The Narmada Aarti seen from the water, alongside the usual riverbank crowd view
- An unlimited vegetarian buffet on board, so dinner and the evening plan are one and the same
- Live music adds atmosphere without needing to arrange anything yourself

What people ask us most about the evening cruise — including whether it's actually running right now. If your question isn't here, we're one message away.
It's currently marked Temporary Closed by the attraction operator's published status, same as the daytime Ekta Cruise. We keep the details and reference pricing here because it does come back online periodically, but we check the live status with you on WhatsApp rather than promising an evening slot upfront.
When operating, it's a 2-hour evening cruise on the Narmada with an unlimited vegetarian buffet served on board, the illuminated Statue of Unity as a backdrop, views of Gora Bridge, a view of the Narmada Aarti ceremony from the water, and live music or a cultural performance during the sailing.
Reference pricing is ₹1,416 for an Adult ticket (above 12 years) and ₹1,416 for a Child ticket (6–12 years). These rates are from when the cruise last operated and should be reconfirmed with us given the current closure.

It works well for celebrations — the illuminated statue, the buffet setting and the live music make it a natural fit for birthdays, anniversaries or a family milestone dinner. We're happy to pass on any special request to the operator, though we can't guarantee bespoke arrangements are accommodated, especially while availability is uncertain.
The unlimited vegetarian buffet, prepared by the team at Hotel Ramada Encore, is laid out as a welcome drink, soup, starters, a main course with a live counter, a chaat counter, and desserts. Outside food and beverages aren't allowed on board, so the buffet is your only dining option during the cruise.
Yes — the operator requires government-issued ID proof to confirm a child's age before a child ticket is issued. For parking, vehicle parking is available at the Ekta Cruise Jetty, with pickup and drop from behind the Shreshtha Bharat Bhavan ticket counter near Amul Foodland.
