Easily the best travel experience I have every had. 12 stars. I will be going back!!!! We did the Amazon River cruise in the Aqua Nera and the ship itself is GORGEOUS. It was an amazing first impression and things only got better from there. The staff is SO lovely and helpful, they made you feel so at home and I am very grateful to them for making everything perfect.
But the food... OH. MY. ...
My sisters and I took our mom on the Aqua Nera as a surprise for her 80th birthday. We came home incredibly impressed and agreed it was indeed the trip of a lifetime. The boat is 6 star!! Huge, luxurious cabins with beautiful bathrooms and furnished like a modern, luxury hotel. 3 times a day housekeeping - including all laundry (back same day, folded). The staff on the boat were so positive, ...
We loved sailing Acqua Nera cruise last september 2023, it was a wonderful trip full of adventures and fun.
Watching pink dolphins and pirañas were among our favorite excursions.
My husband and myself would like to congratulate the crew aboard the ship, they made our trip more enjoyable and we all felt at home delighted food and personalized service.
Also to remark the exquisite taste ...
The Aqua Nera boat and crew were absolutely phenomenal. Although the boat was beautiful, the crew was what made the trip spectacular. Our guides (Alex & Billy) were so knowledgeable and so much fun to get to know as individuals. The restaurant & wait staff created top of the line meals made with local ingredients, and we often found ourselves chatting/laughing with them late into the night ...
We sailed on the Nera and every detail is so well thought out. We were a family of 4. Our boys are 7 and 8 and though they are well traveled, I was a little worried about taking them on such a nice boat and not knowing if they would cater to young travelers, but I couldn't have been more wrong. First of all, the Amazon is a playground for young children to experience all of the diverse wildlife ...
The Amazon has always been a bucket list for me. This trip was the most comfortable and extensive way to experience all the spectacle and grandeur of this piece of our planet. Strolling and bicycling through quiet riverside villages, walking along paths deep in the forest with both cruise guides and local guides, or traveling deep into the flooded tributaries of the main rivers was deeply ...
I had the opportunity to enjoy this amazing Expedition river cruise with aqua enjoying a trip across the Amazon.
The level of service and detail is top class.
The staff will work the extra mile to make sure your trip is a unique experience of lifetime
They have amazing kitchen with great food, drinks and they do your laundry on board every day. The there is free WiFi on board works ...
We traveled on the Aqua Nera for three days in March, from Iquitos to Nauta. The boat was quite empty due to the recent protests, but we and several other groups were on board. The weather was wonderful, even in the wet season, with only one brief shower during the day. The layout of the boat allows for many spaces to have a private moment, but also spaces for conversations and groups playing ...
The crew was great, and the naturalist/guides were friendly, funny, and well informed. We enjoyed everything from the jungle walks to the swim in the Amazon (we were told that all the piranhas had been domesticated). All the guides were from the Amazon and were able to give insights into the native culture and their upbringing.
Every meal was locally sourced and delicious. The chef on board ...
My sister and I recently returned from a three-day cruise, January 6 through January 9, on the Aqua Nera. We were booked on the Aria Amazon, but were switched for the convenience of the company to the alternate boat, due to low bookings.
At booking, we were advised of the acceptable Iquitos flight timetables to facilitate transport to and from the boat. Our itinerary detailed this would ...
