Tour Itinerary

Join us for an exciting journey down the world’s
most famous river. The Amazon Basin is the most ecologically
diverse region on earth, home to 20 percent of the world’s bird
species, 20 percent of all plant species, 10 percent of mammals and
thousands of undiscovered species. A journey the length of the Amazon
is the true nature lovers dream.
Travel deep in the Amazon is a feast for the senses not easily experienced
anywhere else on earth. Waking to the boisterous roar of a gang of red
howler monkeys high in the canopy above the ship, spotting a pair of
brilliantly colored scarlet macaw darting through the treetops, stealthily
seeking the piercing orange eyes of black caiman on an after dark Zodiac
excursion, or catching a glimpse of the Amazon’s endemic pink
Boto river dolphin, are all memories you will carry with you long after
you disembark. Not only well known for its diversity of flora and fauna,
the Amazon is also home to a wide variety of interesting native groups
and cultures. During our voyage we’ll have the opportunity to
meet and interact with a number of different tribes and communities
that call the shores of the Amazon home.
Take advantage of this full Amazon program, which includes city tours
and overnights in Lima, Iquitos, and Rio de Janeiro, as well as all
internal flights while on tour.
