Luxury Holidays On Board Amazon Clipper Premium
Brazil’s heady mix of geographical wonders include the great interior, much of which is covered by the rainforest basin of the Amazonas states, and, of course, the Rio Negro, which joins the Solimoes River to become the Amazon River (one of Brazil’s greatest attractions), south of the city of Manaus. For an intimate and unique journey along the Rio Negro, hop aboard the Amazon Clipper Premium, a traditionally styled, fully air-conditioned riverboat carrying just thirty-two passengers and boasting a sun deck, entertainment deck and dining room, along with a crew comprising a captain, five sailors, three cooks and two English-speaking field guides. The boat is small enough to dock at remote spots, which affords you the opportunity to observe wildlife either on foot or from the vantage point of a canoe. Cruising through the Amazon by boat allows you to witness first-hand how the river affects its surroundings and the lifestyles of the riverside communities - in fact, it’s actually quite safe for you to swim in many parts of the river. This has got to be one of the most unforgettable experiences of exploring the spectacular Amazon.
