M/V Aria
The 147 foot long M/V Aria, Aria Amazon is our second luxury cruise ship on the northern Amazon River in Peru. It was entirely custom built for Aqua Expeditions by Peruvian architect Jordi Puig to offer an extraordinary level of comfort for our guests and was launched in April 2011. The Aria Amazon can accommodate a maximum of 32 cruise ship guests plus crew. This luxury cruise ship is the perfect size to sail along the Amazon River, providing extremely comfortable lounge, outdoor jacuzzi, exercise room, dining and sleeping accommodations and modern navigation technologies and standards for cruise ship travel and safety on the water.
