Life onboard:
Pure Amazon operates on a private charter basis, with several itineraries also on offer. The ship will feature four, five and eight-night itineraries plus the private charter option, all with two expert-led excursions per day, maximising the local surroundings of birds and wildlife. Motorized skiff rides morning and later afternoon provide glimpses into the rainforest’s natural habitat. In other moments throughout the days, kayaking, fishing, walks to the local villages and other land-based excursions provide access to Peru’s most prized experiences of the Amazon Basin’s ribereños.
After a day of exploring, guests will welcome an evening sundowner with matching dinner and drinks. The stars of the Amazon provide the ultimate backdrop for a night of regaling tales of the day’s adventures or an immersive Q&A session with a local expert.
Accommodation:
Pure Amazon has been carefully curated from bow to stern by architect Adriana Granato, delivering a subtle yet inviting ambience. The colour scheme includes muted tones of earth, sky, forest and water.

The Amazon Basin is one of the greatest remaining wildernesses on earth. Realistically, there’s only one way to explore it: by boat. The opportunities for wildlife-spotting are exceptional, and the small scale of Pure Amazon – just 12 superbly appointed, Adriana Granato-designed cabins accommodating a maximum of 22 passengers, with a staff-to-guest ratio of one-to-one – guarantees an intimate, highly personalised experience.
Pure Amazon offers itineraries in the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve, in northern Peru.

The Amazon River:
The Amazon is undoubtedly a hot spot for travellers right now. Peru offers a gateway to the lush frontier of rainforest, met with vibrant culture and bustling river life. It makes sense then that A&K is maximising the brand new ship Pure Amazon with a multitude of itineraries that allow access to the region, the river, the bustling Peruvian culture, and even the land and rail adventures that are also on offer. But the number one draw card of course, is to explore the Amazon River by boat. From here, guests can immerse themselves in the national reserves, the wildlife and the entire Amazon Basin, one of the greatest remaining wildernesses on earth.
June to November is the low-water season, offering an abundance of wildlife habitats to explore for guests, especially bird lovers. In the high water season from December to May, the tributaries Maranon and Ucayali will flood, effectively submerging the Pacaya-Samiria reserve. Rather than being limiting, it in fact offers an opening to land-based encounters and riverscape in a new equally magical way.
