Aqua Expeditions - Cruise the Amazon in Style

Fransceso Galli Zugaro, CEO of Aqua Expeditions had long dreamed of bringing a new level of luxury to Amazon River Cruising. With the launch of the M/V Aqua, his dream became a reality. During your journey, you will find yourself in a shipboard environment of utmost luxury, surrounded by one of the remote, least visited areas on the planet.
Only a handful of world travelers have visited the remote Pacaya Samiria Reserve, the farthest point on the journey. It is a world of birds in neon-brilliant colors, playful pink dolphins, lively monkeys, graceful hawks, caimans, and millions of butterflies. The vessel features 12 air conditioned, over sized guest suites that feature en suite sitting areas and outward facing panoramic windows. With room for 24 guests, 21 staff members, and an award winning chef, this is truly the most comfortable way to experience the Amazon.
