I just went to the Regent Web site and saw the details of the post-cruise to the Taj Mahal. Go to Taj Mahal Post-cruise .

Somewhat different that previous posts I think. By the way, I called Regent and although the description of the post-cruise mentions "after docking," the Regent representative assured me that Day 1 of the post-cruise is the day we disembark (Thursday). Note, also, for air travel, the return will be back to the States (or home) from Delhi not Mumbai. (I have no idea why a price is given at the end, given it also states that this is complimentary.)

Very briefly this is my understanding:

Day 1 (Thursday): Mumbai to Jaipur on Air India, where we overnight at the Marriott. Various activities around Jaipur (Royal Observatory, City Palace, etc.) in the afternoon.

Day 2 (Friday): After breakfast drive to Agra where we check in to the ITC Mughal hotel. Various afternoon options followed by a 4 PM departure to see the Taj at sunset. According to the Regent agent, there must be a special arrangement given that it is a Friday and usually the Taj is closed. (I have no idea how much this person actually knew.) Classical dance in the evening and dinner at the hotel.

Day 3 (Saturday): Sunrise at the Taj Mahal for those wishing it. After breakfast, checkout and drive to Delhi. Check-in to the Taj Palace Hotel(for the day -- not overnight). Lunch at the hotel followed by sightseeing. Dinner at the hotel followed by transfer to the airport for flight home. I think most flights to the States leave after midnight.

Day 4 (Sunday): Flight home.
