The well-established Spanish hotel chain, Iberostar, launched its first riverboat, the Iberostar Grand Amazon in 2005. The deluxe vessel offers all the expected comforts while offering travelers an exotic three-, four- or seven- night Amazon River cruise adventure. Read more about Amazon river cruises. 

During the Amazon cruise, guests can enjoy rain forest hikes, swimming with pink dolphins, piranha fishing, bird viewing and nighttime boat trips to view noctural animals. The vessel carries four launches to explore smaller jungle streams.

The expedition cruise staff onboard is knowledgeable on the flora and fauna, accompanies guests on all excursions, and conducts lectures onboard. Visits are also made to local villages where guests can meet indigenous tribes and purchase local crafts.
