Kathleen from Plenty of Sunshine Travel met with Monika from Aqua Expeditions for this week’s cruise chat.
.
I love meeting new cruise lines, so this was extra special to me, as it was the first time I had the chance to meet with Aqua Expeditions.
.
Monika did an excellent brand overview!
Aqua has five ships.
Three River Expeditions:
Aqua Mare.
Aqua Nera.
Aria Amazon.
Two Yacht Expeditions
Aqua Mekong
Aqua Blu
Aqua Expeditions has five pillars of distinction:
SERVICE ~ Personalized luxury travel experiences with a 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio.
DESIGN ~ State-of-the-art designed vessels.
WILDLIFE, ADVENTURE AND CULTURE ~ Authentic tailor-made soft adventures.
CUISINE ~ world-renowned chefs.
RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL ~ Wildlife conservation programs and local community support.
The ship’s capacity is 16 to 40 guests and the same crew. All of your shore excursions are included in the fare.
One of the shore excursions they offer – that I have not seen before – is fishing for piranhas. COOL!
.
Aqua Expeditions teams up with local chefs who offer local ingredients so you not only explore the areas you’re visiting with your eyes and your body but also taste the areas you are visiting, giving you a more profound immersion experience.
Aqua Expeditions honestly believe in sustainable travel. One example of this is the rugs that are on board Aqua Nera. The rugs are made with recycled fishing lines pulled from the waters they travel through. In addition, they had local artisans weave beautiful rugs with ocean materials.
Aqua visits the Peruvian Amazon.
The area that Aqua Expedition goes through is a protected rainforest, and it is protected from humans altering it in any way. The ships are designed to be environmentally friendly, and the excursions too.
The Aqua Nera holds 40 passengers, and the Aqua Amazon has 32 passengers.
.
Aqua Mare has a capacity of 16 guests.
.
