Guests on the 10-day Amazon Voyage expedition travel more than 600 miles aboard the classically styled 28-passenger riverboat La Amatista, enjoying chances of rare wildlife sightings. Daily outings on this small-ship adventure take travelers deep into the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve to spot diverse wildlife, hike into the rainforest, and even fish for piranha. During excursions into the narrow river tributaries, guests may spot more than 100 kinds of birds, pink and gray river dolphins, sloths, giant otters and nocturnal animals such as caimans and capybaras.

Amazon cruise passengers also spend time with riberenos in remote river villages, handing out school supplies to children and meeting with a local shaman. Ensuring a high level of authenticity, IE varies the villages guests visit during their Amazon cruise.

"I loved visiting the Amazon villages. Plus, the naturalists were amazing," said guest Gloria Friedman of Ellicott City, Maryland. "I was so impressed with the level of organization."

When not discussing the rainforest or village life with the local guides, guests can stargaze on the open-air top deck or sip cocktails while enjoying the evening entertainment, courtesy of the ship's local crew.

Prices for the June 3 Amazon River expedition cruise start at $2,498 per person (with discount), and include accommodations, excursions, complimentary laundry aboard La Amatista, most meals, guides, transfers, and tips to porters and waiters for included meals.
