Aqua Expeditions has announced new Honeymoon and Anniversary cruise experiences, full of unmissable romantic touches and offering couples a truly immersive river safari experience – all for the same price as a regular departure on the boutique operator’s Aqua Mekong and Aria Amazon sailing schedules.
Throughout their journey, couples and newlyweds will get ever closer to some of the world’s most remote and beautiful locations, with each vessel featuring beautiful suite accommodation with floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows as well as luxurious lounge and spa facilities for relaxation.
On checking into their spacious design suite, couples will be greeted with a heart-shaped chocolate cake or chocolate truffles, charming handwritten note and an indulgent bottle of Champagne ready to be popped. The bed will be romantically sprinkled with flower petals and topped with a folded pet towel.
Onboard highlights include a gym, artisanal boutique, massage rooms, indoor bar, lounge area and outdoor jacuzzi, while Aqua Mekong also features a library/games room, outdoor bar and screening room. Exclusive 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio ensures unrivalled levels of comfort and quality of service.
Active twice-daily excursions in groups of no more than eight by private speedboat are led by expert local guides, who know these two regions like the backs of their hands; feel the dense jungle underfoot, bike to local markets and temples, hop in the vessel’s kayaks, or jump in to discover unspoiled waters and rare indigenous wildlife close-up. For couples wishing to immerse themselves in local culture, activities include visits to exquisite markets, key nature spots and remote floating villages.
World-class local cuisine on board is designed by renowned Consulting Chefs, David Thompson on Aqua Mekong and Pedro Miguel Schiaffino on Aria Amazon – both of whom are known as authorities on the unique cuisine of each region. After dinner, couples can enjoy a beverage on the Observation Deck, as the night sky fills with constellations and shooting stars – the ultimate romantic setting.
Couples on Aqua Mekong are invited to head to the screening room for a range of movie classics or on more balmy nights can enjoy the outdoor cinema under the stars, whilst those celebrating a wedding anniversary on Aria Amazon will be treated to a special cake on the day along with songs by the onboard band.
All guests on Aqua Expeditions voyages have the unique opportunity to give back to the incredible people, flora and fauna in the environments they visit, for that moment in time becoming a part of the community – through the Room to Read scheme on Aqua Mekong sailings which supports school girls in increasing literary rates in local schools, and Pack with a Purpose on Aria Amazon sailings where guests can bring valuable supplies for local children and families in their suitcases.
Aqua Expeditions brings couples a unique and unforgettable experience – this is the way to enjoy South East Asia and Peru’s highlights, whether as part of a longer trip or a quick stop-over before embarking on more adventures.
Honeymoon and Anniversary Cruises are priced from USD4050 per person on Aqua Mekong and USD3825 per person on Aria Amazon based on twin share suite accommodation on 3-night Discovery Cruises including all meals on board, beverages (premium non-alcoholic, house wine and beer), shore excursions, laundry, bike use and intermittent Wi-Fi.
