The Aria is one of the most luxurious small cruise ships operating in Peru. Its striking design by  renowned Peruvian architect Jordi Puig gives the ship an impressive profile both inside and out, with chic modern cabins and expansive communal areas. All of the Aria’s sixteen ‘Design Suites’ feature floor to ceiling windows as standard, meaning you can enjoy the passing panorama of the Amazon from the comfort of your own bed. The outdoor observation deck with its own Jacuzzi is another wonderful place to enjoy the scenery, as is the fine-dining restaurant where the menu has been designed by one of Peru’s top chefs, Pedro Miguel Schiaffino. Excursions are taken on a small group basis led by expert naturalist guides, many of whom have worked with the company from the very beginning and have a genuine passion for the natural wonders of this region. They also arrange optional lectures, and other presentations such as a ceviche class and cocktail making also take place during your time on board.
