The Amazon Clipper is a typical two-deck riverboat that has been designed exclusively for cruising the Amazon river and its tributaries. She is 66 feet long, 17 feet wide and she cruises at 10 knots. There are 8 double cabins, full capacity for 16 pax. Each cabin with bunk berths, private toilet facilities and night-time air conditioning. There is a covered but open-air serving as dining room-salon, with video and specialized library and boat-top sun deck outfitted with plenty of reclining chairs to enjoy the 360 degree panoramic vistas. She carries a crew of five in addition to the English speaking guide who is well versed in the flora and fauna of the rainforest. For those who wish the comfort of a luxury ship, we now present the new. Amazon Clipper Premium, a vessel unique in style that offers "simply the best" small-ship cruising in the Amazon. Large enough to offer spacious cabins with lower beds and inviting public spaces, but small enough to dock at remote spots and cruise to hidden locations due to the shallow draft of only 3 feet, the Amazon Clipper Premium is the perfect size for a comfortable cruise on the Amazon rivers.
