CRUCERO AMAZONAS

Few charter yachts put twenty crew behind twenty guests, and fewer still do it a thousand miles up the Amazon. CRUCERO AMAZONAS is a 138ft river expedition motor yacht built in Peru by Constructora Amazonica S.A.C. in 1996, sleeping 20 guests across 10 timber-lined suites for cruises through the Peruvian Amazon. That near one-to-one crew ratio matters here: the bilingual team are seasoned river hands as well as hospitality professionals, and they run the skiff excursions, the rainforest hikes after wildlife and medicinal plants, and the visits to riverside communities that make this itinerary what it is. The layout spreads over four decks, with suites, a dining room, an entertainment area and an open-air observation deck for anyone who would rather watch the forest slide past in the sun. Accommodation splits into one Prestige Suite, five Master Suites and four Twin Master Suites, all finished in natural wood with panoramic windows onto the river. Come back aboard muddy and happy, and there is a bar and lounge with a view no coastal charter can match. Ideal for families, multi-generational groups and larger private parties.
