Docking at remote spots and hidden locations, discover the adventure and mystery of the Amazon with Amazon Clipper Cruises.

The very mention of the name Amazon conjures images of adventure and mystery. Designating the world's largest rainforest and the world's largest river, Amazon defines the word 'exotic'. There are several ways to see the wonders of the Amazon, but the most exciting way to experience the natural environment this region has to offer is on board the Amazon Premium Clipper Riverboat.

For 20 years, Amazon Clipper Cruises has been a leader in operating boat cruises in the Amazon River system departing from Manaus.

The riverboat offers excellent facilities, such as individually air-conditioned cabins with private bathroom facilities, covered dining room with bar, a large lecture room with comprehensive library facilities and a spacious observation deck offering 360 degree panoramic views.

The ship is the perfect size for a comfortable cruise on the Amazon River system. It is large enough to offer spacious cabins and public spaces, but small enough to dock at remote spots and cruise to hidden locations due to the shallow draft of only one metre.

Because the cruise groups are small and personal, you are able to explore the igarapes (river creeks) and igapos (flooded forests) by powered canoes, visit the natives and see their way of life, hike in the forest, as well as enjoy fishing, bird-watching and river bathing.
