Premium Amazon Clipper Cruises

For those who wish the comfort of a luxury ship, we now present the new Premium Amazon Clipper, a vessel unique in style that offers “simply the best” small-ship cruising in the Amazon. Large enough to offer spacious cabins with lower beds and inviting public spaces, but small enough to dock at remote spots and cruise to hidden locations due to the shallow draft of only 3 feet, the Premium Amazon Clipper is the perfect size for a comfortable cruise on the Amazon rivers.

Premium Amazon Clipper Cruises now puts at your disposal its complete support infrastructure to offer an on-board experience that is second to none – and in addition we will take you to places few other cruise passengers ever see. It is possible because the cruise groups are small and personal, and the knowledge of the destination is complete. You will experience trips with the outboard powered canoes in smaller creeks to see life on the flooded plains, rubber trees, lakes with giant water lilies, watch the birds, visit the local inhabitants and walk in the forest, always accompanied by the expedition guides.
Your adventure will follow with fishing for piranhas, night trips to see nocturnal animals, views of the floating docks, market and houses on stilts.

Unique on the Premium Amazon Clipper is a spacious observation and sun deck with a fantastic 360° panoramic view. The window-lined dining room seats all passengers leisurely at one single seating. The onboard restaurant offers excellent meals, up to international standards, prepared with utmost care by the experienced kitchen staff. Served as buffet you can help yourself from a great variety of fresh foods including daily specials or choice vegetarian meals. At 32m (106 feet) long, with a beam of 9m (30 feet), the Amazon Clipper hosts only 32 guests in 16 spacious all-outside cabins, with lower beds, private bathroom facilities with hot shower, individual air-conditioning and safety box.

The Premium Amazon Clipper Cruises have regular departures on Mondays and Wednesdays. For those who are satisfied with a little less comfort, we present the Premium Amazon Clipper Cruises, click here for a description and prices of these cruises.
