What our guests say…

We always enjoy hearing from our guests about their most memorable moments during Aqua Expeditions cruises

When traveling with Aqua Expeditions, guests get to explore the world’s most biodiverse destinations alongside our top naturalist guides. We encourage all guests to share photos and videos of their trips with their friends and family on Trip Advisor, Facebook, and Instagram.

Here are some recent stories from our voyages…

"I'm so grateful for all the special touches on the Aqua Nera. Truly far
beyond our expectations and so very much appreciated. It's so hard to
hit the right note between fancy but not formal, and high end yet
welcoming. The team nails it. It truly is a once-in-a-lifetime experience,
every time!"

"We've traveled and cruised extensively so we think it is quite significant
for us to say that this cruise was one of the best, if not the best cruising
experience we’ve ever had. The daily expeditions with our knowledgeable
guides were a true immersion into the rainforest. After these amazing
expeditions, all you had to look forward to was returning to the boat to
sit down to some of the best meals I have ever had. None of us know
what heaven is really like but I sure hope it includes a recurring cruise
on the Aqua Nera."

"The ultimate way to experience the Amazon and its tributaries is via
the Aria Amazon, a luxurious cruise ship with only 16 cabins. All aspects
of our cruise was superb. There are skiffs on board the ship, allowing
small groups to explore the river and surrounding rainforest
several times per day. The guides were outstanding -- all from the local
area with incredible expertise. Last but not least is the
quality of the meals doubtlessly due to the excellent chef who prepared
authentic Peruvian delicacies along with other international cuisine."

"You are providing a top-class operation in one of the most beautiful
regions in the world, the staff on board were absolutely amazing and
went out of our way to ensure that we had an enjoyable stay. They are
exceptional in their roles. The yacht is beautiful and tastefully
decorated, we love all the interior details including the crockery, the
service was spectacular, and dining was excellent."

"We cannot thank you enough for your wonderful hospitality and what
for us was truly a lifetime experience. Since we had such a great time
on this adventure, I know we will be joining you for more in the future."

"We just wanted to let you know how amazing your staff are on the Aria
Amazon. We have just completed a 7-night cruise on the Amazon and
our experience was phenomenal.

It is not possible for us to single out one crew member because all of
your staff were exceptional; from the guides, catering, maintenance staff
and all the crew. They were always enthusiastic and professional."

"You won’t find kinder people anywhere in the world than on this boat.
All the crew are too amazing for words. Thank you so much for making
this trip so incredible."
