Aqua Nera, Peru
Overview
Gleaming black hulls and smoky teak interiors set the Aqua Nera apart as the most design-forward ship on the Amazon. Inspired by the mysterious blackwater lagoons of the Peruvian rainforest, this 20-suite ship offers a sleek, contemporary retreat amid one of the world’s most biodiverse regions.
Cabins feature large floor-to-ceiling windows, curated local artworks, and spacious living areas designed for long, reflective journeys. Expert naturalists lead twice-daily excursions deep into the Pacaya Samiria Reserve – by skiff, kayak, or on foot – where you may spot pink dolphins, scarlet macaws, or even elusive jaguars. Cultural encounters with ribereño communities are sensitively handled and deeply rewarding.
Onboard, chef Pedro Miguel Schiaffino creates dishes using Amazonian superfoods, river fish, and foraged greens in imaginative ways. The ship also features a spa, cinema, boutique, and plunge pool. Aqua Nera is immersive but never rustic – designed for travellers who want to understand the Amazon without giving up comfort or style.
