Onboard Amenities
Dining & Beverages
Dining on board is a social and flavorful experience, featuring buffet-style meals that highlight local Amazonian ingredients and traditional dishes. The communal dining room serves as a hub for guests to share stories of their daily adventures while enjoying fresh, locally-inspired cuisine.
Shore excursions & land activities
The Amazon experience focuses on immersive land and river excursions rather than underwater activities. Guests participate in daily guided treks through the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, led by expert naturalists who provide deep insights into the rainforest's complex ecology and wildlife. Exploration is facilitated by a fleet of agile skiffs, allowing guests to navigate narrow tributaries and remote arteries of the Amazon. These excursions offer unparalleled opportunities to observe diverse wildlife, including monkeys, sloths, and exotic birds, in their natural habitat, while also providing a chance to engage with local river communities.
