Aqua Expeditions: Peru's Amazon River Cruises

We are pleased to introduce discerning and adventurous travelers to the M/V Aqua, the Peruvian Amazon's first luxury boutique expedition vessel. The M/V Aqua began service in 2008 as the most deluxe vessel in the Peruvian Amazon. The M/V Aqua operates year-round for 3, 4 and 7 night excursions from the port city of, an easy 1 ½ hour flight from Lima, the capital of Peru.

The Destination
 Aqua Expeditions is entirely unique to the Peruvian Amazon, exploring the more remote and pristine areas of the Pacaya-Samiria Reserve in the upper Amazon River and its tributaries. You'll travel where few have ever gone. This protected wilderness of over five million acres, teeming with rare flora and fauna, is home to more than 500 species of birds: macaw, river gull, kingfisher and riotously colored parrots - plus black alligators, three-toed sloths, howler monkeys, and the unique pink dolphin.

Accommodations
M/V Aqua is 140-feet-long with 12 spacious and well appointed and air-conditioned guest suites. All the suites are 230-240 square feet with large outward-facing panoramic picture windows and en-suite sitting areas.

In addition to nightly culinary feasts and the best South American wines, a crew of 21 including a cruise director, a paramedic and 3 naturalist guides are available non-stop. Onboard - a bar, boutique, observation deck and outdoor lounge lift this excursion experience far above other Amazon River tours.

Four of the suites can interconnect for family adventure travel and three piloted launches carry small groups with guides deep into the mysterious fingers of the fabled Amazon River.

Temperatures average between a low of 70 degrees F. and a high of 88 degrees F. The low water season (June - November) and high water season (December - May) feature differences in the plant and animal life as well as in the climate and excursions offered.
