Explore some of the most pristine virgin rainforests in the world – the Amazon jungle – from the comforts of your king-sized bed on board the MV Aqua, the first luxury vessel to cruise the Amazon.

The flagship of Aqua Expedition, the MV Aqua is designed by Peruvian architect Jordi Puig. The three story ship boasts 12 suites with oversized windows offering generous panoramic views of the Amazon.

Departing from Iquitos, a 7-night Amazon program takes you deep into the heart of the Amazon. Keep your eyes glued to your binos and try to pick out rare pink dolphins, tamarins, pigmy marmoset monkeys, and even alligators at the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve. Or go fishing for one of Amazon’s most ferocious and legendary creatures – the piranhas.

You also get the chance to interact with the indigenous people from the remote Puerto Miguel Village.

At sundown, retreat to the restaurant on board and savor the best of Peruvian dining from executive chef Pedro Miguel Schiaffino. At night, the outdoor lounge on the top deck is where you will want to while away the rest of the night, just star-gazing.
