M/V MANATEE AMAZON EXPLORER

From 4 days / 3 nights

Jungles walks, kayak adventures, and swimming activities will strengthen your heart while your soul is enriched by the amazing cultures that take care of this land.

Join this journey on board of the New Manatee Amazon Explorer to our planet’s heart:  The Amazon Basin.  The world’s largest body of freshwater that accounts for one-fifth of all running water on Earth.  The Manatee Amazon Explorer will sail through the Napo River, an important tributary to the Amazon River.

The Manatee Amazon Explorer is fully equipped and maintained in order to handle the most challenging conditions and circumstances of an adventure and expedition cruise and is manned by experienced and conscientious expedition staff and crew (15 persons including a paramedic).  The canoes used for daily shore landings are rugged and versatile and are operated responsibly by experienced personnel.  Onboard you will be fully briefed on all pertinent safety issues and concerns, as well as our environmental policy; passengers also receive appropriate and detailed briefings before each landing. The ship can accommodate up to 30 guests in spacious cabins with private balcony:  10 standard cabins (20 m2), and 4 Deluxe suites with Jacuzzi (24 m2).  Each cabin is equipped with air conditioning, floor to ceiling windows, closets, a private bathroom complete with a special shower massage, hot and cold water, 24-hour electricity, and 110-voltage outlets and switches. In social areas, there are comfortable spaces so passengers can enjoy nature:   a panoramic-view restaurant & bar, an observation deck, an outdoor Jacuzzi, and an alfresco bar.
