Brazilian Amazon Adventure – Journey through the World’s Largest Rain Forest
Monday 22nd February – Saturday 6th March 2027
Journey aboard the MS Jangada, a new boutique ship navigating the rivers of the legendary Amazon rain forest.
It’s an exclusively chartered adventure from Manaus—a rich tropical metropolis made wealthy by one of its main exports, rubber—almost 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) deep into the undisturbed and hardly visited heart of the rain forest.
Caimans, howler monkeys, and piranhas; jungle treks to an undiscovered world of plant life heretofore unnamed; a world full of history, culture and most importantly—adventure! In the lush, green, so-called Lungs of the World, it is impossible to deny the infinite magic of this diverse natural wonder. Get ready for perhaps the most exciting journey of your life!

Your Vessel – MS Jangada
Experience the natural wonders of the Amazon on board a brand-new boutique ship—the MS Jangada! Since its maiden voyage in May 2019, the MS Jangada has been synonymous with exclusive adventures in the fascinating world of the rain forest.
The ship’s stylish mix of traditional Brazilian and modern décor immerses guests in an extraordinary atmosphere, and its high-quality amenities provide a first-class level of comfort. In addition to its main and upper decks, the 95-foot/29-meter-long, air-conditioned ship features sun and observation decks from which you get stunning, panoramic views of the lush rain forest. On board you will also enjoy the wealth of the Amazon’s culinary specialties. The ship’s restaurant offers fresh and authentic flavors of the region’s incomparable diversity—fish, herbs, fruit and vegetables sourced directly from the rain forest itself.
The MS Jangada features two Classic and four Superior cabins on the main deck as well as four Deluxe cabins and two Suites on the upper deck for a maximum of 24 guests. Each well-appointed cabin features large panorama windows, an air-conditioning unit, a safe, a minibar, a closet, a hair dryer and a private bathroom with shower and toilet. Deluxe cabins and Suites also feature private balconies.
Between exciting excursions, you can relax on the MS Jangada’s sun deck, lounge, or bar with a tasty Caipirinha, Brazil’s national cocktail. For those who like to stay in shape on vacation, there is also a fitness room on board.
A huge plus of the MS Jangada is its low draft (4.3 ft/1.3 m), which enables it to navigate through some of the shallower stretches of the Amazon River and Rio Negro. On each exciting excursion, friendly, knowledgeable English-speaking tour guides show you the way through the Amazon’s diverse labyrinths.
