Onboard Amatista, a classic river cruise steeped in history, you’ll immerse yourself in an authentic experience that blends adventure, culture, and the awe-inspiring beauty of the Peruvian rainforest.

Amatista is no ordinary cruise. Built entirely of wood, this vessel preserves the charm of a historic riverboat while offering all the modern comforts needed for an unforgettable journey. Its 15 warm and thoughtfully designed cabins reflect traditional Amazonian decor, creating a cozy haven for every guest. Panoramic windows invite the jungle to be part of your voyage, turning each cabin into a private sanctuary with unmatched views of the world’s most powerful river.
The observation deck and shared spaces, including the reading lounge and dining room, are designed to harmonize with the surroundings. Whether you’re relaxing in an open-air hammock or sharing stories with fellow travelers as you drift along the Amazon, Amatista offers a unique connection to nature and the tales emerging from its rivers and communities.


Exploring the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve aboard Amatista is a journey of discovery and learning. Daily excursions, led by expert naturalist guides, bring you face-to-face with the region’s extraordinary biodiversity. Watch pink dolphins play alongside the boat, marvel at exotic birds in flight, and immerse yourself in the astonishing richness of Amazonian flora and fauna.
Activities include jungle treks, nighttime caiman-spotting expeditions, piranha fishing, and traditional ceremonies with local shamans. These experiences go beyond connecting you to nature—they introduce you to the Amazon’s communities, their traditions, and their deep harmony with the river and forest. Participate in activities like tree planting and gain insights into their way of life, passed down through generations.
Dining aboard Amatista is a celebration of Amazonian flavors. Skilled chefs use local ingredients and a blend of traditional and contemporary techniques to craft dishes that honor the region’s richness. From fresh fish like paiche to tropical fruits like aguaje, every meal is a culinary homage to the Amazon.
The dining room, with panoramic windows framing river views, provides a serene setting for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Meals aboard Amatista are more than nourishment—they are an invitation to experience the Amazon through its tastes, offering a deeper connection to the environment.


Amatista is more than a cruise—it’s a gateway to the past and an invitation to reconnect with the natural world. Every moment aboard is crafted to provide a meaningful and authentic experience, from the warmth of the ship’s traditional design to the profound connections you’ll forge with the jungle and its people.
