Tour Operator
Rainforest Cruises are the Amazon River Cruise specialists. We have searched the entire region to bring you a comprehensive collection of the Amazon's finest riverboats and strive to bring you a simple platform from which you can easily compare and contrast the entire market for river cruises in one place.
Our goal is to match our customers with the riverboat that best suits their interests and budget, and give them all the information, expert advice and excellent customer service they need to ensure a wonderful travel experience and an unforgettable adventure of a lifetime.
Many of our clients not only book cruises with us, but cruise packages with land tour extensions before or after their cruises to popular travel destinations in South America such as: Rio de Janeiro, Iguazu Falls, Machu Picchu, the Galapagos Islands, Amazon Lodges and more.
South America is a massive continent, and it is nearly impossible to know the ins and outs of each country. Rely on our knowledge and honest approach to be sure you are maximizing the potential for your well-deserved vacation!
It is worth noting that as members of The International Ecotourism Society, Rainforest Cruises are advocates for rainforest conservation. Rest safe in the knowledge that we adhere to strict sustainable ecotourism principles and that your cruise booking with us helps contribute to the preservation of the rainforest.
Cruise Styles:
So you've decided to do a cruise in South America, but with so many to choose from, where do you start? Rainforest Cruises have conveniently categorised Amazon River cruises into six styles: luxury, superior, comfort, charter, family and honeymoon.
While all our Amazon cruises offer comfortable accommodation, good food, interesting itineraries and knowledgeable guides, to distinguish between them we have defined our cruise styles based on a set of parameters including price, cabin comfort, public area amenities, customer service, cuisine, passenger-to-crew ratio, cruise itinerary and general tour experience.
We painstakingly review each riverboat to ensure that passengers have all the necessary information in hand prior to embarking upon their tour of the Amazon Rainforest, so you can rely on us to help you find the ideal cruise for your very own taste and budget.
Luxury Cruises: Rainforest Cruises has itineraries aboard vessels that we truly consider luxurious. See what makes these Amazon cruises so special. We guarantee to beat any price on the Aqua, Aria and Delfin I & II!
Superior Cruises: Our mid-range Amazon riverboats offer the perfect blend of comfort, adventure and affordability. Be pampered, informed and exhilarated in a breath-taking wilderness without breaking the bank.
Comfort Cruises: Our comfort cruises may be easier on the pocket but they boast some of the more interesting itineraries aboard traditional vessels full of character. Amazon cruises just like you imagined.
Cruise Charters: A riverboat charter allows you to explore the Amazon in the privacy and comfort of your very own exclusive cruise. Ideal for families and groups looking for that something a little bit special.
Family Cruises: Not all riverboats have the facilities to cater for families with young children. Here we have picked out the best cruise options for you aboard those vessels with great family-friendly features.
Honeymoon Cruises: Newly-wed and in search of a honeymoon unlike any other? Not many experiences can match the adventure and romance of the Amazon rainforest and its magical sunsets and starry night skies.

The itinerary below is Sunday-Sunday, but an 8-day itinerary can also be done Wednesday-Wednesday. Please note that the itinerary is dependent on the river water level, weather conditions, wildlife behavior, and accessibility to locations, so may vary. All times indicated are approximate, and are also subject to change.
Please note that all cruise itineraries are subject to change due to seasonal weather conditions (and resultant variations in river and tributary water levels) affecting accessibility to locations. Thus navigation routes, times and excursions may need to be modified at the cruise captain’s discretion.
Passengers should also be aware that animal sightings cannot be guaranteed due to the unpredictability of wildlife behavior.
