MS Aqua Nera

Luxurious river cruise in the Peruvian Amazon region

Inspired by the enchanting blackwater lagoons of the Peruvian Amazon, the award-winning Aqua Nera embodies the ultimate luxury river cruise experience.

The 20-suite ship features an exquisite design by the renowned architectural firm Noor Design.

From the spacious designer suites to the numerous communal areas, the interior of Aqua Nera exudes a refined elegance that combines modern design with local heritage. Tasteful accents from the rubber boom era and influences from the vibrant cultures of Portugal, Spain, and Peru complete the ambience.

Together with its sister ship, the Aria Amazon, the Aqua Nera explores the depths of the Peruvian Amazon – accompanied by the culinary mastery of acclaimed chef Pedro Miguel Schiaffino.

Experienced guides lead small group excursions twice daily, allowing guests to experience the rich wildlife of the world's most biodiverse rainforest up close.

The Aqua Nera is registered in Peru and complies with the highest safety standards in accordance with the guidelines of the International Safety Management (ISM).

Embark on an adventure that will leave you with unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for the wonders of this region.
