Cruising through the Peruvian Amazon aboard the 12-suite luxury vessel M/V Aqua will surely be a unique and unforgettable experience. Navigating the mightiest river in the world, you will witness the pristine wilderness areas and the exotic wildlife that they host. Experienced naturalists will lead you from your luxury accommodations into remote estuaries in the Peruvian rainforest and the Pacaya Samiria Reserve. The opportunity to view different species of monkeys, river dolphins, alligators, giant river otters, and innumerable varieties of birds will all be part of a day’s adventure.

M/V Aqua has 12 suites total, 4 master suites and 8 regular suites; all are outside-facing with large panoramic windows, are air conditioned with en suite sitting areas, four are interconnecting suites for families. All cabins are equipped with an internal communication system, a private bathroom with hot water around the clock, a hairdryer, and a basket of toiletries.

The journey begins in the remote town of Iquitos, then meanders through the wildlife-rich Amazonian rain forest, all aboard the brand new M/V Aqua. Whether embarking on a 4, 5, or 8-day voyage, the experience will awaken your senses to the richness of life. You will be witness to the incredible array of flora and fauna in the Pacaya Samiria Reserve, a flooded forest covering five million acres at the headwaters of the Amazon basin. Spot howler monkeys, the elusive pink river dolphin, or the giant jiburu, either during a day-trip or from the comfort of the ship’s observation deck, then discuss the day’s adventure over a delicious meal aboard the M/V Aqua. Each day affords a new discovery, as the beauty and variety of the life in this region will undoubtedly surprise and delight you.

The Amazon River in Peru has two seasons, a high water season (December through May) and a low water season (June through November). During both seasons you will be able to see the fascinating flora and fauna of the Amazon and you can expect some periods of heavy rain even in the ‘low water’ season. Dependent on your interests, the two seasons offer slightly different experiences. During the ‘high water’ season the flooded rivers and streams of the Amazon Basin allow you to explore the waterways up close aboard a skiff seeing monkeys and other Amazon wildlife. During the ‘low water’ season the jungle paths that were flooded clear and you will be able to enjoy jungle hikes, view exotic birds as they migrate through the Amazon and fish for piranhas during this peak fishing season.
