Are children welcome?

Yes. Children over the age of 7 are welcome on the Aria and the Cruise offers family-friendly activities and experiences, such as wildlife spotting, nature excursions, and educational tours. However, the focus of the cruise is on nature and wildlife, so families should consider if their children are ready for the adventure-focused itinerary.

Giving back

The Aria Amazon is designed with sustainability in mind, adhering to strict environmental standards. The ship operates with a low-emission engine, reducing its carbon footprint while cruising the Amazon River. It uses eco-friendly waste management systems and minimises plastic use onboard, offering reusable water bottles and filtered water stations.

Additionally, it supports local communities by sourcing ingredients from sustainable, regional producers and promoting responsible tourism to protect the Amazon’s delicate ecosystem.
