Amazon Clipper Cruises
The Amazon Clipper gives guests the best way to enjoy the Amazon: on the water, integrated with the environment. The Amazon Clipper cruises are perfect for those wanting to experience the Amazon up-close and in comfort. The Amazon Clipper offers three packages for travelers, with itineraries ranging from three to six days. Destinations include the Amazon River, Rio Negro, and a longer tour combining both rivers. All tours include delicious buffet-style meals, day trips for fishing and exploring, and specialized information from the boat’s guide. Guests can choose from two categories of boats: traditional and premium. Differing in size and facilities, both offer air-conditioned cabins with private bathrooms, a covered dining room with bar, and a sundeck. Boats are large enough to offer spacious cabins and inviting public spaces, but small enough to dock at remote spots and cruise to hidden locations. The boats also come equipped with electrical power in 120 V (AC) and 12 V (DC), and two outboard-motor canoes for side-trips and fishing. The Amazon Clipper program has 3 boats - Amazon Clipper Cruise, Selly Clipper, Selly Clipper II. Programs are conducted on one of the three boats without previous confirmation - depending on the number of passengers for each departure. The difference between the boats is mainly number of cabins. They all have the same facilities and amenities.
