Aqua Nera

Aqua Nera redefines Amazon river cruising with its elegant design, impeccable service, and deep sense of place. Designed to echo the mystical black-water lagoons of the Peruvian Amazon, this striking vessel blends contemporary luxury with cultural authenticity. Each suite is spacious, beautifully appointed, and lined with floor-to-ceiling windows, immersing you in the ever-changing jungle scenery from the comfort of your air-conditioned sanctuary.

Days unfold in harmony with the rhythm of the river. Guided by expert naturalists, you’ll navigate the wildlife-rich tributaries of the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve in sleek skiffs, spotting pink river dolphins, caimans, and hundreds of bird species. Venture ashore to meet local communities, paddleboard along serene blackwater creeks, or enjoy sunrise jungle walks as mist rises through the canopy.

Dining aboard Aqua Nera is a highlight in itself. Renowned chef Pedro Miguel Schiaffino curates an Amazon-inspired menu celebrating regional ingredients such as paiche, yucca, and hearts of palm, paired with fine South American wines. After days of exploration, return to the calm of the Observation Lounge or unwind by the plunge pool, cocktail in hand, as jungle sounds fade into twilight.

With just a small number of guests on each voyage, Aqua Nera offers a deeply personal experience, combining sophistication, adventure, and heartfelt connection to one of Earth’s last great wildernesses.
