Peruvian Amazon River Cruise

First Class Cruise
Set departure dates from Iquitos
3, 4 and 7 nights

Not only does this luxury 40m ship follow the Amazon's vast main channel, but from its expeditions by launch, penetrates small estuaries in the rainforest and Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. Here, accompanied by experienced naturalists, you will get acquainted with the diversity of bird, animal and plant life in this most vigorous and undisturbed eco-system.

The Aqua has 12 large luxury suites with outward-facing panoramic windows and en suite sitting areas. All suites are air-conditioned and 4 are interconnected to cater for families. Gourmet meals are created from a portfolio of Peruvian and international dishes. There is also a bar, observation deck and outdoor lounge.

Cruises operate throughout the year - in the wet season you can venture further into the flooded creeks, in the dry you can stroll along sandy beaches exposed by the lowering water-line. There are opportunities to encounter local communities, and wildlife you may see includes pink dolphin, black caiman alligator and giant river otter. Other excursions include trying your hand at piranha fishing and night jungle trips.
