The Aqua Nera is based in Peru, which offers the most direct and accessible path to the heart of the Amazon. Iquitos, where the Aqua Nera sets sail, is just two hours’ flight from the capital and international air hub of Lima and the archaeological treasure trove of Cusco. Each itinerary aims to show the highlights of the region including the otherworldly Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve, which is more than three times the size of Yellowstone National Park and one of the most vital assets of the rainforest and river system.
The Aqua Nera has a total of 20 cruise cabins featuring elegant design, modern furniture and 5-star hotel amenities. All suites are equally-sized (30 m2 / 320 ft2) and with triple occupancy, as their interior sofas are convertible (form a sofabed for 1 child). Eight Design Suites (forward on decks 1 and 2) can be booked as "family cabins". These four pairs of interconnecting cabins (combo-sized 60 m2 / 645 ft2) are connected via sliding doors.
