Onboard Amenities
Dining & Beverages
Dining on the Aqua Nera is a highlight of the journey, featuring a sophisticated 'rainforest-to-table' concept. Curated by acclaimed chef Pedro Miguel Schiaffino, the menu showcases the diverse flavors of the Amazon and Peru, utilizing fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Guests enjoy a full-board meal plan that includes a mix of buffet-style options and elegant set-menu dinners, with special attention given to dietary requirements such as vegan and vegetarian preferences.
Shore excursions & land activities
The Amazon experience focuses on land-based exploration and river navigation rather than underwater activities. Guests participate in daily shore excursions led by professional naturalist guides, which include guided jungle treks, visits to local indigenous communities, and wildlife spotting walks. These excursions are designed to be accessible, though they can vary in pace depending on the terrain and weather conditions. Water-based exploration is conducted via small, low-emission skiffs that allow for deep penetration into the flooded forest and narrow tributaries. Guests also have the opportunity to use kayaks for a more intimate and quiet way to observe the river's edge, providing excellent chances to see wildlife like river dolphins, caimans, and various bird species in their natural habitat.
