Aria Amazon: luxury and exploration on the river
Frequently Asked Questions
The Aria Amazon offers a luxurious and immersive river cruise through the Peruvian Amazon. The all-suite ship features panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, a top-deck observation area, a jacuzzi, an elegant lounge and gourmet cuisine inspired by the region. Guests enjoy five-star comfort while exploring remote natural landscapes with expert naturalist guides.
Because the Aria Amazon has very limited capacity and is in high demand, booking well in advance ideally 8 to 18 months before departure is recommended. Early booking ensures the best choice of suites and departure dates, especially during peak travel seasons.
Children are welcome from age 5 and must share a suite with an adult if under 18. Excursions may include walking on uneven terrain, boarding skiffs and navigating forest pathways. Good mobility is recommended to fully enjoy all activities offered during the cruise.
Travelers should bring lightweight long-sleeved clothing, breathable pants, comfortable walking shoes, a wide-brimmed hat, sunscreen, insect repellent and a light jacket. Rubber boots and rain ponchos are typically provided for wetland and jungle excursions, ensuring comfort in all conditions.
Daytime attire is casual and focused on comfort for excursions. Evenings call for a smart-casual style, such as light trousers or a simple dress. While relaxed, the atmosphere onboard maintains an elegant Uniworld standard.
There are two main seasons: high-water season (November to May) and low-water or dry season (June to October). High-water months allow access to more remote tributaries, while the dry season provides greater opportunities for hiking and land-based wildlife viewing. Both seasons offer exceptional Amazon experiences.
A typical day begins early with breakfast followed by a morning skiff ride or forest walk. After lunch, guests can relax, enjoy the spa or observe wildlife from the deck. Afternoon excursions provide additional exploration before a gourmet dinner and calm evening under the Amazon sky.
Tipping is optional but commonly appreciated. Guests often leave a daily contribution for the crew, with the total depending on the length of the cruise. Tips can be paid in cash or by card at the end of the journey, reflecting gratitude for exceptional service.
