Aqua Expeditions Cruise Reviews

The Galapagos islands are absolutely amazing. The unique landscape, the dedication to preserving the islands, the knowledge of the guides and most of all, the yacht we were on was MAGNIFICENT! The Aqua Mare is, hands down, the finest ship in the Galapagos. There are no words to express how incredible, other than magical! Everything was amazing – the yacht, the crew, the menu and food, the ...

Aqua Expedition's Aria Amazon and its staff highlighted our trip to South America in the headwaters of the Amazon area of Peru. We were met in Iquitos, Peru for a fabulous lunch before heading to the community of Nauta where we boarded the Aria. Everything about the ship was first class. Each room has a wall of glass windows that allows you to take in the sights of the jungle terrain as you passed ...

My sisters and I took our mom on the Aqua Nera as a surprise for her 80th birthday. We came home incredibly impressed and agreed it was indeed the trip of a lifetime. The boat is 6 star!! Huge, luxurious cabins with beautiful bathrooms and furnished like a modern, luxury hotel. 3 times a day housekeeping - including all laundry (back same day, folded). The staff on the boat were so positive, ...

What a delightful surprise from start to finish! Everything went smoothly. The boat was well appointed. The food was top-notch offering wonderful Asian cuisine (plenty of western food options available for the selective eaters). The dining staff from Chef Davet to each and every server made all meals enjoyable. Excursions: Getting around the Mekong on a skiff departing from your river boat ...

Going to the Amazon and Amazon River has always been a dream of mine. On a whim, I booked 3 nights on the Aria Amazon with no real clue what I was getting myself into. My husband and I traveled from Denver, CO to Peru. The Amazon came after we explored other areas in Peru, and the heat and humidity was a big change from Cusco... but certainly not unexpected! I don't mind the heat, so it felt ...

We loved sailing Acqua Nera cruise last september 2023, it was a wonderful trip full of adventures and fun. Watching pink dolphins and pirañas were among our favorite excursions. My husband and myself would like to congratulate the crew aboard the ship, they made our trip more enjoyable and we all felt at home delighted food and personalized service. Also to remark the exquisite taste ...

Our recent voyage aboard the Aqua Blu with Aqua Expeditions was a journey of a lifetime that exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived at Ayana Komodo to commence our adventure, we were captivated by the sheer beauty of the location. Sharing a group lunch at this stunning property with our fellow travelers was the perfect way to kick off the experience. A pro-tip for future ...

We've just returned to Bali from a 7-day cruise on AQUA BLU from Labuan Bajo (Flores) back to Bali. We've been blessed to do a lot of luxury travel in our time, but we have to say this has been our best ever travel experience to date! If you love nature, adventure, gorgeous scenery and of course the stunning underwater world of Indonesia...this is a cruise for you! The ship itself is stunning, ...

The Aqua Nera boat and crew were absolutely phenomenal. Although the boat was beautiful, the crew was what made the trip spectacular. Our guides (Alex & Billy) were so knowledgeable and so much fun to get to know as individuals. The restaurant & wait staff created top of the line meals made with local ingredients, and we often found ourselves chatting/laughing with them late into the night ...

My wife a,ways has wanted to see the Amazon Rainforest. We booked this cruise thru Vaya Adventures. Our experience aboard the Aria was amazing. The beauty of the Amazon basin is breathtaking. Crew members picked us up at the Iquitos Airport and drove us to Nauta (which is not on Google maps) about 22 hours away where the Aria was docked. We cruised up and down several rivers in the Amazon Basin. ...
