3. Unwind in your outdoor jacuzzi onboard our premium riverboat in the Amazon
Why not plan a trip to the Amazon Rainforest, one of the world’s most isolated regions, this year? And what better way to discover than from the deck of our luxurious riverboat, the Zafiro, as we cruise the vast Amazon River.
Every suite has panoramic floor to ceiling windows, so from the comfort of your own room, you could be treated to a front-row seat to amazing wildlife sightings, such as howler monkeys, three-toed sloths, and if you’re lucky, even pink dolphins! However, the most stunning views are unquestionably obtained from a padded lounger on the lovely observation deck of our riverboat.
If you’re exhausted from our action-packed itinerary on our Amazon Rainforest Cruise Premium Adventure, which includes visiting Ribereño villages, going on guided moonlight safaris, going on canoe excursions, and going on nature walks, why not relax your legs in our outdoor jacuzzi? Alternatively, you could treat yourself to an aromatherapy or massage from our on-board wellness specialist.
