Explore the mighty Amazon aboard the MV Tucano, an elegant 80 ft. riverboat that evokes the time-honoured river cruises of yesteryear.
Spread across three decks, the Tucano’s classic look harks back to a golden age with rich wood panelling and polished beams softened by the large picture windows which spill light and warmth throughout. There are generous communal areas throughout from the saloon and wrap-around balcony to the Observation Deck which runs the length of the entire upper deck.
The 9 cabins offer a mix of beds and bunks and are simple and cosy with air-conditioning and private facilities. All are elegantly furnished in keeping with the boat’s classic look and offer wonderful views of the surrounding forest.
The food is tasty and wholesome and focuses on the ingredients and flavours unique to the Amazon.
The MV Tucano offers 4 and 7 night “Voyage to the Heart of the Amazon” cruises which travel deep into the remote waterways of the Anavilhanas Archipelago. This natural wonderland lies beyond the reach of most vessels and boasts a dizzying array of species, ideal for birders and nature enthusiasts alike. Daily excursions are led by experienced local guides and include boat trips, nature walks, community visits and bird-watching.
The MV Tucano offers a traditional style Amazon cruise whose longer itinerary is ideal for those looking for a more in-depth, jungle experience. The boat may lack facilities and those extra little touches yet the atmosphere is warm, friendly and traditionally Brazilian.
