Here’s a first. Aqua Expeditions is to run a luxury ship – the M/V Aqua – on the Amazon. The vessel has 8 suites and 4 master suites, a generous top-level observation deck, an elegant dining room, indoor and outdoor lounges, and a boutique shop. Rates start from around $5000 for a 7-day itinerary which explores the Pacaya Samiria Reserve, a remote Peruvian sanctuary for all kinds of exotic wildlife including monkeys, jaguars and pink dolphins.
