“Luxurious cruise with very helpful staff. A great way to see the Amazon through a variety of activities. The cruise keep”
Expeditions were well organised and varied. The food was incredible with a lot of variety, and if you missed a lunch or dinner there was another option on the top deck which gave plenty of food. All alcohol was included in the price. Got very close to animals on the Amazon river, did a trek in the Amazon, and visited an indigenous community - all of these were incredible memorable experiences.

“Grand Amazon indeed”
This was a fantastic and easy way to experience the Amazon. The 2 excursions each day was well organised and executed. Guides and staff were super, the food was excellent - we enjoyed trying some of the Amazon dishes and the cabins were very comfortable. Thank you!

“Above my expectations!”
Hands down the best Amazon cruise in Manaus. Everything from the excursions to the food, from the spacious rooms to the friendliness of everyone in the staff was above my expectations. I'd like to give a special mention to the excursion guides, so helpful and prepared. The food was delicious, diverse, and abundant. You can choose buffet or a-la-carte. Everything is included in the price: high speed internet, all excursions, all the drinks, food and entertainment. Worth to mention that even the cheapest cabins have very large bedrooms and bathrooms, and a balcony. So everybody gets to see the beautiful landscape from their rooms, while natural sunlight illuminates the space.

“Previous memories of the Amazon”
Just finished the 4 night cruise and it exceeded our expectations. Although the boat is a little tired it is spotlessly clean (cabins serviced twice per day) and well appointed. Good size cabins, all with a balcony and enormous comfortable bed, tv, wifi, minibar, dressing gown, slippers etc. it was a floating hotel room. The staff are all lovely, a particular we would like to thank to Moura in the dining who took such good care of us. He was very kind and attentive, I was a little apprehensive as some reviews said the food was not good & the wine was undrinkable but actually we found the opposite. Lots of Amazonian fish, fresh salads, fruit (plus lots of treats if you preferred). We particularly enjoyed the captain’s dinner on the final night Food was delicious. It was followed by a wonderful show. Several excursions per day so the boredom get a chance to take hold. Although it seems expensive when you book it, you don’t have to spend a single cent whilst on board. It is, fully all inclusive and once you add everything up, it feels like good value. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the cruise. It’s a once in a lifetime experience.
