In an era where the allure of the high seas is resurgent, Aqua Expeditions is at the helm of a spectacular revival in river cruising. The company’s fleet, comprising the sumptuous Aqua Mekong and the newly minted Aqua Nera and Aria Amazon, offers intrepid travellers a passage to the planet’s most secluded and ecologically rich destinations.
Aqua Mekong: A Voyage through the Heart of Southeast Asia
Onboard the elegant Aqua Mekong, guests are invited to indulge in a sojourn that intertwines luxury with the vibrant cultures of Cambodia and Vietnam. The vessel, a 205-foot testament to modern design, boasts amenities that rival those of a boutique hotel, including a spa and a river-facing plunge pool. It’s the small, private skiff excursions, however, that truly enchant, offering an intimate glimpse into the soul of Southeast Asia, guided by the knowledge of local experts.
The journeys—starting at $4,230 per person—unravel a tapestry of experiences, from the reverence of ancient temples to the everyday pleasures of life along the river, all underscored by the culinary mastery of a Michelin-starred chef.
Aqua Nera: An Amazonian Odyssey in Unparalleled Elegance
Aqua Expeditions continues to redefine river travel with the Aqua Nera. Drawing on the dark-water lagoons of the Peruvian Amazon for inspiration, this vessel is a sanctuary of tranquillity and refined elegance. Accompanied by expert naturalist guides, guests embark on excursions that promise intimate wildlife encounters, complemented by a menu infused with the essence of the rainforest.
Prices for the Aqua Nera start at $4,335 per person, promising an escape that is as much about the destination as it is about the journey itself.
Aria Amazon: The Pinnacle of Amazon Exploration
Designed to navigate the Amazon with minimal environmental impact, the Aria Amazon is a vessel that offers guests the luxury of contemplation through its expansive windows and the social pleasures of its well-appointed top deck. With a culinary program that showcases the Amazon’s bountiful resources, this cruise is an epicurean delight starting at $2,640 per person.
Aqua Expeditions: A Legacy of Luxurious Exploration
As a global leader in luxury small-ship expeditions, Aqua Expeditions offers tailored itineraries that are both culturally significant and environmentally sensitive.
