M/V Rio Amazonas
 Built
in the late 1800's in Scotland, after a long career as a
cargo/passenger ship on the Amazon river, it was completely
rebuilt in 1981 to enable the international traveler to
experience the Amazon in comfort and again refurbished in
1994. She carries 44 passengers in 21 air conditioned cabins
on an itinerary which explores life on the Amazon river
and its people. The ship is designed as an informal cruise
ship with the dining room and library, air conditioned.
There is ample deck area, both covered and uncovered, with
a Jacuzzi, comfortable deck chairs and hammocks for a leisurely
look at life on the river. Upper deck cabins have all private
bath, showers and picture windows for a fantastic views
of the river, two lower beds with reading lamps, a small
writing desk and chair complete the cabins' furnishings.
Sun deck cabins are slightly larger and have two twin beds,
a third bed, a small closet and a chair. Down river cruises
operate from Iquitos (Peru) to the city of Tabatinga, Brazil,
departing Sundays and arriving Wednesdays. Up river cruises
reverse the pattern, departing Tabatinga on Wednesday and
arriving Iquitos on Saturday. Passengers can combine cruises
in both directions for an in-depth 7 day / 6 night round
trip cruise.
