Property Overview

If seeing the glorious flooded forest and getting up close looks at lots of birds and mammals — not to mention enjoying a slightly cooler temperature — sounds attractive, then the high water season might be the best choice. Despite its name, it only gets about 10% more rain than falls in the low water season. If jungle hikes, seeing exotic migratory birds perch on trees as they pass through Amazonia, having the chance to see monkeys and going on great fishing expeditions top your list, you might be happier choosing the hotter, less rainy low water season. Perhaps the best solution of all? Choose one and return to experience the other season in the Amazon.

What's Included?

An exclusive tour of one of nature's wonders.

This boutique cruise sails the Peruvian Amazon River, an area filled with unique and diverse wildlife. The 16-cabin Aria Amazon cruises the river with generous lounging spaces and spacious living quarters featuring upgraded interiors and floor-to-ceiling, river-facing windows. Guests enjoy dishes from Executive Chef Pedro Miguel Schiaffino, renowned for his Amazon influenced cuisine. Naturalist guides lead groups of eight by custom tenders deep into Amazonia. Cycle, kayak, swim and fish among the Amazon’s natural wonders.

World-renowned consulting Chef, Pedro Miguel Schiaffino cooks up world-class meals, which you can enjoy with a glass or two of premium wine and beer which are served on board at all times. There is one dining room on board where breakfast, lunch and dinner are served. Breakfast and lunch are buffet-style and dinner consists of multiple courses. The food is fantastic! For fun off of the ship, kayaking, biking, and fishing excursions are all included.

Accommodations

Relaxing and luxuriously comfortable enclaves.

All 16 Design Suites on the Aria Amazon across the first and second deck measure 23 square meters (250 square feet), with individual air conditioning, polished timber flooring and a wall of floor to ceiling glass facing the Amazon River. En suite bathrooms with rain shower and organic bath amenities incorporate the latest eco-sensitive technology.

Soft lighting, natural fibers, and neutral hues create a relaxing and luxuriously comfortable enclave where one’s only challenge may be to decide whether to gaze upon the Amazon from atop the California king size bed (which can be separated into two twin beds) made with 100% Peruvian cotton high thread count sheets or while lounging on the cozy window-side day bed, binoculars in hand. For the ultimate luxury, passengers may select a pair of interconnecting suites, either for families or with one suite configured as a private living room, the other a master bedroom, plus his-and-hers bathrooms.

Restaurant + Bar

Dishes exclusive to the Amazon jungle.

Hailed by the Wall Street Journal as one of “Peru’s top chefs” and recognized in The New York Times for his rare cooking talent, Pedro Miguel Schiaffino has also attracted the attention of The World’s 50 Best
Restaurants at both his Malabar and Amaz restaurants, as well as on board the Aria Amazon. “The Amazon constantly offers up tastes and flavors I’ve never imagined,” says Aqua Expeditions Executive Chef Pedro Miguel Schiaffino. Though Peruvian cuisine has made its way around the world, many of Schiaffino’s delectable ingredients grow only in the Amazon jungle, inspiring his novel dishes like hearts of palm soufflé, plantain and yucca gnocchi, and grilled paiche with huatia potatoes. Menus on board also stay true to local traditions like Peruvian ceviche, with its succulent ranches of just caught river fish, juicy onions, cilantro, coriander and corn kernels the size of South Sea pearls.

Common Areas

The Aria features ample space to get to know your fellow sailers! The ship includes an indoor bar, indoor lounge, dining Room, outdoor lounge, outdoor Jacuzzi, exercise room, massage room observation deck and boutique.

In the indoor lounge, floor to ceiling panoramic windows on both sides confer a seamless connection to the ever-changing scenery of Amazonia from this spacious living room finished with wood flooring and soft lighting.
