The brand new 8-passenger M/V Cattleya riverboat, named after a genus of orchid on account of its beauty, offers superior cruising to the famous Pacaya-Samiria Reserve in the Loreto region of the Peruvian Amazon.
A luxurious private charter cruise on the Cattleya boat offers an exclusive experience for you and up to seven loved ones as you embark on a four- to eight-day expedition cruise through the Amazon. The epitome of style, the boutique boat boasts four stylish staterooms with king-size beds, the finest linens, luxury bathrobes and minibars—not to mention top-notch service to ensure your every need is met.
Life On Board
Upon stepping aboard the Cattleya, you’ll be greeted by a team of nine crew members and two naturalist guides, providing a better than 1:1 passenger-to-crew ratio, ensuring unparalleled service throughout your journey. Despite traversing the remote regions of the Amazon, you’ll be surrounded by modern decor, reminding you of the upscale nature of your cruise.
Relax on the observation deck’s outdoor lounge and enjoy the fresh air while a large canopy protects you from the sun. The dining room is equally as impressive, with European cutlery and glassware complementing gourmet meals as you take in the stunning views of the river from your comfortable seat.
Exciting Expeditions
The Cattleya offers various itineraries of different lengths that can be customized to meet your group’s needs, all exploring the wildlife-rich Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve. You can enjoy an evening picnic in the jungle before taking a night trek to observe nocturnal animals or visit local villages to learn about farming and fishing traditions. You can even meet a local Shaman and learn about shamanic out-of-body travels to the spirit world, go fishing for piranha, spotlighting for caimans, or swim with pink dolphins.
Birdwatching cruises are also available upon request to allow you to get an in depth insight into the Amazon’s unique bird species, including the Yellow-rumped Cacique, the Scarlet Macaw, and the Ringed Kingfisher.
Great For Groups
The Cattleya Amazon cruise is perfect for groups of all types, from family vacations to corporate incentive trips. Guests can choose from the incredible Main Deck Deluxe suites with their wraparound panoramic windows and separate seating areas, or the Upper Deck’s balconied Master suites. The suites are so spacious that roller beds can be added to accommodate a child in each, and families will love that the Upper Deck suites are interconnectable.
Whether it’s a family reunion or a holiday with adventure-loving friends, a Cattleya Amazon cruise charter provides exclusive privacy while offering personalized service, allowing you to follow in the footsteps of the great Amazonian explorers.
