Location
Cruises down Peru’s Amazon River begin in Iquitos, Peru and transport you by luxury cruise ship deep into the Amazon rainforest and jungle and the Pacaya Samiria Reserve.
Aria Amazon — a 32-guest floating boutique on the Amazon, where 16 panoramic suites, rainforest-to-table cuisine by a top chef, guided jungle excursions and a rooftop jacuzzi offer a rare blend of wild adventure and refined comfort.
Highlights
Every one of Aria’s 16 suites faces outward with floor-to-ceiling windows — the rainforest becomes your living room
Twice-daily excursions into remote ecosystems, led by naturalist guides, ensure meaningful wildlife encounters and deep Amazonian discovery
Under Chef Schiaffino, every meal celebrates native flavours and ingredients — fine dining in the heart of the jungle
From an outdoor river-facing jacuzzi and observation deck to attentive service and contemporary suites — Aria marries expedition with elegance
Gliding gently down the great Amazon River, Aria Amazon transforms a remote rainforest expedition into an experience of seamless elegance and sensory wonder. This 45-metre vessel, custom-designed to tread lightly on the ecosystem, carries just 32 privileged guests, ensuring intimacy and authenticity across every journey.
On board, 16 river-facing design suites await — each with floor-to-ceiling windows, hardwood interiors, premium king-size beds, rainfall showers and plush daybeds. From your window you might spot a pink dolphin surfacing or the dense jungle unfurling in endless green — unfolding like a dream beyond the glass.
Days begin with expert-led excursions — dawn skiff rides, rainforest trails, canoe glides through winding tributaries, paddle-boarding, wildlife observation and cultural encounters — all in small, respectful groups. By midday you return to refined comfort: a river-facing outdoor jacuzzi, indulgent spa treatments, or drinks in the panoramic lounge.
At dinner, world-class cuisine becomes part of the adventure. Under the guidance of celebrated chef Pedro Miguel Schiaffino, menus spotlight Amazonian produce and sustainable ingredients — turning rainforest-to-table dining into a culinary revelation.
