Aqua Expeditions Cruise Reviews

I’ve recently been on an extraordinary Aqua Blu expedition, surpassing my expectations. We did Komodo-Bali route. The week on board was unforgettable. Our cabin, was beautiful and spacious, and the communal areas are tastefully adorned and equipped, making them perfect for both relaxation and socialising. The outdoors were perfect to enjoying the views during the day, mingling or having a ...

We traveled on the Aqua Nera for three days in March, from Iquitos to Nauta. The boat was quite empty due to the recent protests, but we and several other groups were on board. The weather was wonderful, even in the wet season, with only one brief shower during the day. The layout of the boat allows for many spaces to have a private moment, but also spaces for conversations and groups playing ...

First off, we sailed out of Sorong on the Raja Ampat itinerary. We selected it as this is a hot spot of biodiversity underwater and we had enjoyed our last experience on Aqua Expeditions in Cambodia in early 2020. Getting to Sorong is a labor of love, and nearly always involves a red eye. In our case we came in from Jakarta, with the flight departing about midnight and arriving at 6 am (two ...

Amazing experience! The ship is beautiful and luxurious, the activities were exciting and interesting, I learned and experienced so much without once feeling overwhelmed. The food was delicious and they worked with my limited diet, I have rheumatoid Arthritis and can't have nightshades. They made the necessary adjustments and were very kind about it. The room was spotless, every time we ...

The crew was great, and the naturalist/guides were friendly, funny, and well informed. We enjoyed everything from the jungle walks to the swim in the Amazon (we were told that all the piranhas had been domesticated). All the guides were from the Amazon and were able to give insights into the native culture and their upbringing. Every meal was locally sourced and delicious. The chef on board ...

My sister and I recently returned from a three-day cruise, January 6 through January 9, on the Aqua Nera. We were booked on the Aria Amazon, but were switched for the convenience of the company to the alternate boat, due to low bookings. At booking, we were advised of the acceptable Iquitos flight timetables to facilitate transport to and from the boat. Our itinerary detailed this would ...

Having wanted to cruise the Amazon for many years and waited for the right opportunity, finally along came the Nera, a newly launched river boat promising all the luxuries mixed with excursions that I had hoped for.... and did it ever deliver! Part of the adventure was getting to and from Iquitos/Nauta Town to meet the boat. Not an easy journey by any stretch of the imagination. During high ...

We choose this cruise for the experience. The accommodations, crew & naturalists, food & excursions were delightful. The view of nature from our window wall was beautiful. Our crew was friendly and very accommodating. The naturalists/guides were exceptional. The food, served family style, was very tasty. We really enjoyed the Peruvian cuisine. It was fun watching the cooking & cocktail ...

We chose Aqua Expeditions based on feedback from friends and we are so glad we did. The entire experience exceeded all of our expectations. The crew didn't just meet our needs, they anticipated them and fulfilled them before we knew we wanted them. Every detail was carefully considered and perfectly executed. The naturalists were so knowledgeable and truly love the region and want ...
