Amazon Expedition Cruise: M/Y Tucano By World Journeys

Amazon Expedition Cruise: M/Y Tucano By World Journeys

Travel from the Brazilian city of Manaus into the heart of the Amazonian wilderness, voyaging further than any other boat operator to explore this pristine UNESCO World Heritage Site. You’ll venture along hidden and uninhabited rivers, journeying deep into the wild forest where the magnificent plants and animals of Amazonia reign supreme. You’ll also visit the Encontro das Aguas, the confluence of the world’s two largest rivers, the Rio Negro and the mighty, magnificent, Amazon River itself.

**Highlights include:** The Anavilhanas Archipelago – the world’s largest river island system, learn about the ecology of the Amazon from expert guides, explore the rainforest by kayak, boat and walks, cultural visit with locals, wildlife spotting by night with nocturnal creatures, and Brazilian Caipirinha Night (cocktails and samba!).

**M/Y Tucano:** While able to travel in comfort, the M/Y Tucano is not insulated from the rainforest and built in an elegant style of a classic modern yacht. The voyage is quite active and days are spent exploring the forest on foot, by kayak, or in the boat’s launches. The yacht is fully air conditioned for 18 guests with outside staterooms including full private bathroom facilities. The M/Y Tucano is comfortable, sophisticated, and well suited to exploring the Amazon wilderness.

Outstanding cuisine, expert naturalist guides and great excursions from the vessel ensure a world class experience. At the end of the day enjoy a sundowner drink on the Observation Deck or perhaps a dip in the jacuzzi as life on the Amazon gently glides by.

**Aqua Nera:** This brand-new river cruise ship is the epitome of luxury cruising on the Amazon. Aqua Nera draws design inspiration from the Peruvian Amazon’s mystical blackwater lagoons and bears hallmarks of contemporary style and generous interiors. Aboard the Aqua Nera, every space has been crafted to perfection. The vessel’s 20 spacious Design Suites, which accommodate up to 40 guests convey a sense of tranquility, while the social spaces showcase refined elegance with a touch of drama. Tastefully woven into the design are accents and details from the rubber boom era and the colourful cultures of Portugal, Spain and Peru. The cruise features cuisine by Pedro Miguel Schiaffino, one of Peru’s finest chefs who is celebrated for creating refined cuisine from native Amazonian produce. Every day, expert naturalist guides conduct small group excursions that reward guests with up-close wildlife encounters in the world’s most biodiverse rainforest.
