Amazon Cruise Holidays


south & central america
Amazon Cruise holidays are a great way to access the incredible, world famous Amazon Jungle. Whether it be Brazilian Amazon, Peruvian Amazon or Ecuadorian Amazon, visitors will be immersed in the heart of the rainforest with a vantage point from which to take in the myriad of unique wildlife and nature that call this area home.

The advantage of choosing an Amazon cruise ship is the unrivalled access to the tributaries and hidden inlets of the mighty Amazon River where you can spot scarlet macaws, monkeys, giant river otters and a lot more besides. The view from your comfortable cabin changes not only from day to day and but also minute to minute, you will feel like you are in a nature documentary come to life.

Amazon cruises include expert guides who will accompany you on excursions into the rainforest, allowing you to step into the heart of the Amazon ecosystem, offering a close encounter with the jungle’s ginormous trees. Some cruises even have the chance to visit friendly, local, indigenous villages in the depths of the Amazon where you have the opportunity to glimpse a completely different way of life or even receive words of wisdom from the wise shaman.

Trailfinders offers a range of Amazon Cruise holidays and we have a dedicated team of destination specialists who are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to spot prodigious birdlife from your cosy cabin, search for rare wildlife in the depths of the rainforest or are simply looking for advice on the best Amazon cruise for you – they are the perfect people to ask.

What to expect

Most boats follow a similar itinerary over 3-7 nights, exploring some of the highlights of this unique ecosystem but routes can vary between high water (Nov - May) and low water seasons (Jun - Oct). Spend your days taking guided boat excursions or hikes into the jungle and once back on board retreat to the comforts of your air-conditioned cabin.

Additional activities include visiting traditional communities, piranha fishing and kayaking (activities may vary on your specific boat). Throughout the journey keep your eyes peeled for amazing wildlife such as pink river dolphins, anacondas, monkeys and toucans.
