4-tägige Amazonas-Luxuskreuzfahrt von Iquitos auf der 'Aria'

I did not go on the Aqua Aria but on their sister ship, the Aqua Nera for a 8 day / 7 night excursion. From my arrival at Iquitos airport to sending me off on the last day of my adventure, I was pampered and extremely well looked after. My accommodation was luxurious, and extremely comfortable. The same can be said of the lounge, bar and dining area In terms of experience, it was out of this world. A great thank you to the crew of the Aqua Nera and especially Ivanna, our cruise director. Certainly a trip that one should not miss.

The cruise was amazing from every aspect. The crew, food, tour guides, accomodations. We got up close to lots of diverse wild life and every excursion were on smaller boats departing from the main boat which made things carefree and easy. They had all the equipment necessary from rain ponchos, bug spray, boots for jungle hike, etc. the cabins were spacious and well appointed and air conditioned with a big shower. The food was local and outstanding. It was a great way to see the Amazon.

I cannot praise the team that looked after us enough. The guides were knowledgeable, funny and made every trip a pleasure. The food was really excellent - I don't know how the chef managed to produce such wonderful meals in the middle of the Amazon. Luis, the bartender made the best Dark and Stormy cocktail that I have ever tasted. Every single member of the team made it their mission to enable you to enjoy every moment. We saw plentiful animals and and birds during our trips. We fished for pirhanas, kayaked and one of the best trips was to a village on the river bank. Yes, it is a rainforest - and it does rain!! But we enjoyed every moment of our time on the 'Aria'.
