Tabatinga
/ Leticia to Iquitos cruise ( 4 days 3 nights )
Price per person $795 based on double occupancy
The M/V RIO AMAZONAS was built in the late 1800's in Scotland. After
following a long career as a cargo/passenger ship on the Amazon river it was
completely rebuilt in 1981 to enable the international traveler to experience
the Amazon in basic comfort. It was again refurbished in 1994. It carries 44
passengers in 21 air conditioned cabins on an itinerary which explores life on
the Amazon river and its people. The ship has been designed as an informal
cruise ship. The major public rooms on the M/V RIO AMAZONAS - the dining room
and library - are air conditioned. There is ample deck area, both covered and
uncovered, with Jacuzzi and comfortable deck chairs and hammocks for a leisurely
look at life on the river. Upper deck cabins all have private bath / showers and
picture windows for a perfect view of the river. Two lower beds with reading
lamps and a small writing desk and chair complete the cabins' furnishings. Sun
deck cabins are slightly larger, have two twin beds, a third bed, a small closet
and a chair. Down river cruises operate from Iquitos (Peru) to the twin cities
of Tabatinga (Brazil) and Leticia (Colombia), departing Sundays and arriving
Wednesdays. Up river cruises reverse the pattern, departing Leticia/Tabatinga on
Wednesday and arriving Iquitos on Saturday. Passengers can combine cruises in
both directions for an in-depth seven day / six night round trip cruise.
