AMAZON

The Amazon Forest is considered to be one of the most beautiful and important ecological sanctuaries on the planet. It has the biggest portion of tropical forest in the Planet and it contains one of the biggest diversities of life on Earth. A cruise is an excellent way to see the forest.

 

ABOUT THE CRUISE

For those who wish the comfort of a luxury ship, the new Amazon Clipper Premium offers an excellent small-ship cruising in the Amazon- with only 16 cabins. Large enough to offer spacious cabins but small enough to dock at remote spots and cruise to hidden locations, it has a spacious observation and sun deck with a fantastic 360° panoramic view. Local tours: you will experience trips in canoes enterening smaller creeks to see life on the flooded plains, rubber trees, lakes with giant water lilies, watch the birds, visit the local inhabitants and walk in the forest. Your adventure will follow with fishing for piranhas, night trips to see nocturnal animals, views of the floating docks, market and houses on stilts. This itinerary visits mainly the area around the Amazon River.
