Inspired by mystical black water lagoons, Nera’s contemporary design elements grace the lavish interior. Twenty expansive suites (323 sq ft) convey tranquility with panoramic windows and daybed sofas. Social areas showcase refined sophistication accented by rubber boom era details and with Peruvian cultural touches. Interconnecting suites add a level of comfort for family groups while a 1:1 crew to passenger ratio and cruise director ensures dedication to top tier service. A complete gourmet menu is carefully selected by Pedro Miguel Schiaffino, one of Peru’s celebrated chefs who likes to blend native Amazonian produce into distinctive dishes.
Daily small group excursions reward guests with up-close wildlife encounters in the world’s most biodiverse rainforest home to 1,000 species of flora, hundreds of mammals, and over 400 avian species. Take a spin on an all-terrain bike through the riverside town of Nauta or kayak the serene waters of the Amazon. Between skiff outings, put up your feet in the bar lounge or observation deck. View a film in the cinema, read in the library/game room, workout in the gym, indulge in a spa treatment or soak in the outdoor plunge pool with views of the passing rainforest.
