Travelling in sheer comfort on an Amazon cruise with Abercrombie&Kent you’ll see extraordinary landscapes and wildlife and wake up at a different point on the river every day.

Aqua Expeditions operates two of the finest luxury cruise vessels on the river focusing on the pristine and remote Pacaya Samiria Reserve in Peru at the headwaters of the Amazon basin. The flora and fauna in this area are very specialised with abundant birdlife. Guide interaction is a highlight, with guides originating from the Amazon region sharing the passion for their work.

Abercrombie&Kent offers two ships on the Amazon: the Aqua Amazon (launched in 2008 and refurbished in 2015) and the Aria Amazon (launched in 2011 and upgraded in 2015).
