Summary: A perfect way to explore the tributaries of the Amazon River

Feature: Guests are accompanied by English-speaking guides

Rooms: 16 guest cabins

Location: Brazil

Nearest airport: Manaus Airport

Transfer: The Amazon Clipper Premium departs from a hotel in Manaus, the capital of the state of Amazonas, which sits at the confluence of the Solimoes and Negro Rivers, approximately twenty minutes from Manaus Airport.

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.

Why Amazon Clipper Premium is so special...

River Cruise Holidays

Choose from 2, 3 or 5-night cruises on the Amazon Clipper Premium. Due to its shallow draft of only three feet, the Amazon Clipper Premium is small enough to dock at remote spots and cruise to hidden locations. Guests are accompanied on excursions to the smaller creeks - which are taken on outboard motor canoes - by a specialist in Amazonian biology. Experiences may include forest walks, visiting local inhabitants, fishing for piranhas and night trips to see nocturnal animals.

Climate

Brazil is a year-round destination, with temperatures rarely dipping below 20°C (68°F), apart from in the mountains and on the south coast, where it can become cool in winter. In the interior of the country, the climate is hot and arid, while the Amazon rainforests bring humidity. The rainy season occurs from January to April in the north, April to July in the north east and November to March in the Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo areas.

Getting There

Flight Information
British Airways direct from London Heathrow to Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo.

Flight Time
From London Heathrow to Rio de Janeiro: 11 hours, 50 minutes. London Heathrow to Sao Paulo: 11 hours, 40 minutes.

Rio de Janeiro

No trip to Brazil would be complete without visiting the charismatic city, Rio de Janeiro, with its golden beaches and mountain range swathed in verdant forestry. Arguably Brazil’s most iconic sight is the magnificent Christ the Redeemer statue on Corcovado Mountain, a colossal sculpture honed from concrete and soapstone. Visitors can cycle along the beachfront to the Botanical Gardens or take a cable-car ride to the top of Sugar Loaf Mountain. A perfect day might end with a spot of dancing at one of the many Samba Schools, before sipping chilled Caiprinhas in one of the city’s funky café bars.

Rio de Janeiro
The Pantanal

Covering a range of 210,000km2, twenty times the size of the Florida Everglades, The Pantanal is the world’s largest wetland. With less than half located in Bolivia and Paraguay, the majority of this natural playground lies in Brazil. The vast freshwater wetland hosts a formidable diversity of flora, fauna, aquatic plants and varied ecosystems and it is home to numerous rare and endangered species, such as the Giant River Otter, along with jaguars, capybaras, caimans and Capuchin Monkeys. There are ample opportunities to spot wildlife here, due to the largely flat open plains that offer few hiding places for animals.

The Pantanal
Salvador

Once the magnificent capital of Portugal’s great New World colony, Salvador is a complex fusion of European and African cultures. The city offers an intriguing blend of the historic and contemporary, exemplified by its Baroque churches and colonial buildings. Colonial echoes abound at Pelourinho, a UNESCO World Heritage Site set on a ridge above the ocean, where capoeira circles form on plazas as night falls. Salvador is the country’s musical and cultural centre, and the place where Brazilians come to party all year round.

Salvador
Iguazu Falls

Selected in 2011 as one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature, Iguazu Falls is nearly twice as tall as Niagara and is dwarfed only by Victoria Falls as the world’s tallest waterfall. The expansive UNESCO World Heritage Site spans 2.5 kilometres and has a total of 250 dizzying cascades. Devil's Throat is the most imposing, dropping more than 80 metres into a misty abyss. The lush, subtropical national parks surrounding the area boast abundant wildlife, flora and fauna.

Iguazu Falls
Sao Paulo

Sao Paulo is Brazil’s economic centre and most cosmopolitan city. Perhaps unfairly, it is widely regarded as a sprawling mass of urban high-rise buildings, but the city’s numerous urban attractions compensate for any lack of natural beauty. Sao Paulo hosts a vibrant carnival every February, when the streets pulse with partygoers, bands and colourful costumes. It has a burgeoning foodie scene, exemplified by the ornate Mercado Municipal de Sao Paulo. Opened in 1933, with stained-glass windows, domes and a Belle Epoque facade, this building houses three-hundred food stalls, spilling over with vibrantly coloured vegetables, meat, fish, sweets and spices.

Sao Paulo
Trancoso

Nestled picturesquely on UNESCO-protected shores, Trancoso, a tiny former fishing village, has a delightfully tranquil vibe. Visitors are warmly welcomed as they mingle with the locals, who congregate to chat in the town square. It’s a car-free zone, creating a charming, nostalgic and family-friendly ambience. Either side of the square are casual bars and rustic restaurants, offset against a pathway to the beautiful beach, which in summer is the venue for lively Full Moon parties and has been labelled Brazil best ‘secret’ beach destination.
