Number of Rooms: 20
Location: Peru, The Peruvian Amazon
Drawing inspiration from the blackwater lagoons of the Peruvian Amazon, Aqua Nera boasts a distinctive Amazon-style that has been expertly blended with luxurious and modern elements to create an impeccably stylish ship.
Home to 20 spacious Design Suites, including four interconnecting suites, the ship has a maximum capacity for 44 guests. Elegant and spacious, the suites feature a king or twin beds as well as a private bathroom and sofa area - with the highlight being the floor-to-ceiling windows that maximise natural light and provide incredible views of the Amazon.
While onboard, guests are treated to delicious meals that feature sumptuous and refined Peruvian cuisine. Dishes are prepared with local Amazonian ingredients and are expertly crafted by chef Pedro Miguel Schiaffino.
Relax in the ship's bar or the outdoor lounge areas, with a cocktail in hand as you admire the expansive views of the Amazon as you glide past. An inviting ambience characterises the indoor bar and lounge areas, where modern and classic elements combine to create the focal point for the ship's social activities.
Guests can enjoy the outdoor Jacuzzi, complete with panoramic views of the Amazon, stay active in the gym and indulge in pampering treatments in the spa. There is also a library and games room on board as well as a private screening room where you can gather for private lectures and watch documentaries to learn about the fascinating cultures and habitat of the Amazon.
