The Aria Amazon enchants with its contemporary design, personalized Uniworld Boutique River Cruise service, and authentic experiences deep within the jungle.
An exceptional life on the wild waters
Suites bathed in nature
Aboard the Aria Amazon, each panoramic suite opens onto a grandiose spectacle: the flowing river, the canopy, and the ever-changing light of the untamed Amazon. The spaces, decorated in earthy and natural linen tones, exude calm and understated sophistication. King-size beds, marble bathrooms, and attentive butler service ensure absolute comfort, while the vast panoramic windows erase the boundary between the elegant interior and the surrounding nature.
Spaces of harmony and connection
The main lounge of the Aria Amazon invites relaxation in a contemporary and welcoming atmosphere, blending exotic woods, natural textiles, and Peruvian artworks inspired by local culture. The bright and convivial bar becomes the true heart of the ship, a place of encounters and exchange where travelers and naturalists share the day’s discoveries over a refined drink, lulled by the soothing rhythm of the river and the gentle magic of the Amazonian evening.
Relaxation beneath the Amazon sky
On the upper deck, the Aria Amazon reveals an infinity pool and an open lounge overlooking the lush emerald jungle. Passengers enjoy moments of absolute tranquility, watching pink dolphins play in the twilight reflections or admiring the stars that illuminate the tropical night’s serene silence. This suspended haven, between dream and reality, embodies the pure essence of travel, the perfect fusion of nature, serenity, and wonder everlasting.
Exotic flavors and culinary art aboard the Aria Amazon
Cuisine of the forest
The panoramic restaurant of the Aria Amazon, led by Chef Pedro Miguel Schiaffino, celebrates Amazonian gastronomy in all its exquisite natural splendor. The meals draw inspiration from the richness of the river and local markets: freshwater fish, rare herbs, exotic fruits, and Peruvian cacao. Textures, aromas, and colors blend harmoniously to offer a vibrant and refined culinary experience, a vivid and authentic reflection of the surrounding biodiversity.
Journey of the senses
Aboard the Aria Amazon, each day becomes a genuine exploration of regional flavors and the aromatic richness of the forest.

Evenings along the river
When night gently embraces the forest, the Aria Amazon transforms into a luminous theater of serenity. The open-air bar softly glows, inviting guests to savor a signature cocktail beneath a sky filled with glittering stars. Music mingles with the whisper of the wind and the song of frogs, while the river mirrors the silvery glow of the moon. These evenings, of tranquil and mystical beauty, capture the very essence of the Amazon, between wonder, emotion, and timeless reverie.
Discoveries, nature, and shared emotions
At the heart of Amazonian life
The itineraries of the Aria Amazon lead travelers through the Pacaya-Samiria Reserve, a sanctuary of extraordinary and unparalleled ecological richness. Accompanied by expert naturalist guides, guests explore the river’s tributaries by canoe, observe colorful toucans, sleepy sloths, and howler monkeys, all while discovering the fascinating culture of local communities. Each excursion reveals the delicate balance between humankind and nature, a profound source of continuous wonder.
Well-being and balance
After the day’s explorations, the spa aboard the Aria Amazon offers a sanctuary of absolute and serene peace. Treatments use the natural essences of the forest, renowned for their deeply soothing and rejuvenating properties. Guests may also take part in sunrise yoga sessions or guided meditations facing the river’s shimmering golden reflections. This gentle return to oneself, cradled by nature, restores pure, harmonious, and deeply vibrant energy.
Evenings of stars and calm
When twilight descends upon the jungle, the Aria Amazon becomes a luminous and tranquil floating cocoon. Guests gather in the panoramic lounge to share travel stories or watch an inspiring documentary about the local wildlife. The ship glides slowly over the dark waters, wrapped in an almost sacred silence. These precious and unforgettable moments capture the pure and profound magic of river cruising at its highest level of emotion.
