Itinerary

Day 1
Over the Amazon Jungle to Manaus

Destination: Manaus

Thursday. Your flight takes you over the Amazon Jungle to Manaus, flying above miles of nothing but green jungle and silver rivers for the final hour and more. The sight of nothing but trees is a special one if the rainforest cloud clears for you. On arrival in the city, you will be met for transfer to your hotel. The day is then free to relax and recover from your long journey. Flights to Manaus can be directly from Miami or Lisbon, otherwise a change is necessary usually in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro or Brasilia. If you travel to the Amazon from inside Brazil, then it might be possible to arrive around midday on a Monday or Friday and embark the same day.

Day 2
Manaus Sights & Embarkation

Destination: Manaus to Manacaparu

Friday. After breakfast, you take a morning city tour of the famous Manaus Theatre, Municipal Market, and the floating dock. The opulent theatre is the symbol of the city, and was built on the back of the rubber boom that made the wealth of Manaus. After lunch, you transfer to the dock in Manaus for check-in on the Iberostar Grand Amazon. As the ship embarks for the Rio Solimoes, one of the main arteries of the Amazon River, you have time to explore your cabin and the ship before watching sunset on deck. At night, there are welcome cocktails and dinner as the captain presents his officers and crew.

Day 3
Cruising on The Amazon

Destination: Manacapuru to Alligator Lake

Saturday. The Sunrise Lovers Breakfast allows you to enjoy the special dawn chorus every day. There is also a later breakfast for those who prefer not to wake up quite so early, after which a morning trek and photo safari takes you into the jungle. A boat trip through the flooded forests and channels is also possible. Piranha fishing and bird-watching are afternoon excursions at Alligator Lake, while night-time caiman alligator spotting after dinner takes place from much smaller boats. Live music in the Moon Ballroom and at the Sun Deck bar provide nightly entertainment.

Day 4
Amazon Activities

Destination: Lake Janarau to King's Igarape

Sunday. The Sunrise Lovers Breakfast provides the perfect opportunity to watch and listen to the fantastic bird-life of Lake Janauaca. The morning activities include going on a photo safari or trekking along one of the trails of the forest around the picturesque lake. You may see monkeys and sloths in the trees as well as parrots and macaws. Afternoon excursions include bird-watching and alligator spotting or a boat trip through the flooded channels of the area. Following dinner in the restaurant, a folkloric show takes place in the Moon Ballroom.

Day 5
Back to Manaus & Disembark

Destination: Meeting of the Waters to Manaus & Away

Monday. Breakfast is taken at the Meeting of the Waters before the ship returns to Manaus in the morning and your cruise ends. You will then be transferred from the port to the airport for your onward flight. The Luxury Iberostar Amazon Cruise can also be combined with any of our other fantastic destinations in Brazil, such as Rio de Janeiro and Iguazu Falls. *Please note: The Iberostar Amazon Cruise embarks from Manaus on most Fridays and Mondays throughout 2020.
