For the pièce de résistance, panoramic windows in every cabin provide you with a private view of the ever-changing panorama outside. The new addition to the choice of ships is La Perla, a mid-range vessel which also offers the traditional riverboat experience and explorations of some of the most stunning Amazonian jungle locations but at a more economical price.

There are also carefully designed programmes of daily excursions to take you deeper into the jungle, accompanied by expert guides who can point out wildlife and share their illuminating knowledge. As you follow the winding route to and from Iquitos, you can spot pink river dolphins, monkeys at play and huge crowds of caiman, as well as encountering Amazonian communities and trying your hand at piranha fishing.
