Our Two Amazon Cruises
1. Amazon Expedition Cruise “Voyage to the Heart of the Amazon” (8D/7N)
This is a true expedition cruise with 7 full days and 7 nights of deep forest exploration. With this amount of time to explore, a good boat, a skilled crew, and adventurous passengers, we venture far into the Amazon rainforest wilderness in search of wildlife.

2. Compact Amazon Cruise, “The Amazon Odyssey” (5D/4N)
This compact cruise is especially good for travelers who have a multi-destination trip within Brasil. It offers the essence of Amazon culture and wildlife and an authentic experience.

Expedition Cruise: Voyage to the Heart of the Amazon (7 Nights)
Departing from Manaus, Brasil, this seven night expedition cruise explores far into the remote wilderness rainforest. On our vessel, the Motor Yacht Tucano, we venture far up the least inhabited major river in the Amazon Basin: The Rio Negro. We explore areas very rarely visited and seek out the mysterious life that stirs in the heart of the rainforest. This is the most thorough, detailed, and sophisticated trip offered in the entire Amazon. Our guides are skilled naturalists and we see creatures almost never seen by other visitors. We visit small villages along the small tributaries to learn of the culture of pioneer families. Because of the exploratory nature, the small groups, and the skilled guides, these expedition cruises have become known as the most authentic cruises in the entire Amazon.
