The change of the year holds something special, and experiencing it in the heart of the Amazon is a truly unique experience. On La Perla and Amatista, New Year’s is not like any other celebration. It’s not about noisy parties or endless commitments. It’s the opportunity to connect with nature, enjoy a serene setting, and begin the year in a way that truly makes you feel renewed. Here, the noise of the city and the daily stress are left behind, while the jungle, the river, and the calm embrace you.
From the moment you step aboard, you know that what you’re about to experience is different. This is not a conventional trip, nor a typical New Year’s celebration. Aboard, the festivities are simple, but they’re thoughtfully designed so that every moment feels genuine and memorable.
The Peruvian Amazon, with its warm climate and the rising river, creates the perfect atmosphere for a peaceful farewell to the year, free from the chaos of conventional celebrations. Instead of the noise of crowds, you find yourself surrounded by the serenity of the river, the vegetation, and the natural sounds that mark the passage of time. During these days, the landscape becomes an integral part of the celebration. The pink dolphins, fishing birds, and riverside families going about their daily routines make this New Year a moment that you truly remember.
The ship provides only what you need for comfort while you explore: fresh air, delicious food, expert guides, and a pace that lets you enjoy each moment without stress.
It feels different. You don’t just celebrate, you live the passing of the year in a place that follows its own rhythm, while you adapt to it. The Amazon invites you to do so calmly, to observe, to be present.
On the night of December 31st, the ship offers everything you need to celebrate without complications. The dinner, created specifically for this date, reflects the authentic flavors of the jungle, but with a touch of sophistication that makes everything feel special. It’s not an ostentatious meal, but it’s designed to surprise you with the best of Amazonian cuisine, without unnecessary embellishments.
After dinner, the team aboard organizes a short, symbolic Amazonian ritual, in harmony with the surroundings. It’s a calm, respectful way to mark the beginning of the new year. At midnight, you step onto the deck and find yourself under a clear sky, the gentle sound of the river, and a glass in hand. There are no fireworks or bright lights—just a sincere toast in a relaxed, natural atmosphere.
Is the Amazonian ritual elaborate?
No, it’s brief, simple, and perfectly fitting for the place. It’s designed for you to connect naturally with the jungle, without it being a performance.
Although it’s New Year’s, the activities continue as usual. Skiff outings, walks, and visits to riverside communities remain part of the exploration rhythm that defines the journey. During these days, you’ll feel part of the jungle, where time is not dictated by the clock, but by the environment.
You’ll likely see pink dolphins in the tranquil channels, birds fishing at dawn, flooded forests, and local communities continuing with their daily lives. You’ll see all of this with your own eyes—without rush or hurry—simply observing and connecting with nature.
Yes. Activities are designed for you to enjoy without interruptions. The celebration is just one moment in a journey full of exploration and learning.
