Uniworld River Cruises to Make South America Debut in 2020
byDaniel McCarthy/
Uniworld Boutique River Cruises will sail its new ship, Aria Amazon, on the Amazon River in 2020, marking the line’s debut in South America.
Uniworld will sail two itineraries on the Amazon in 2020 — the 15-day “Peruvian Amazon & Machu Picchu Exploration” that starts off with a pre-sailing land stay in Peru before a seven-night sailing through the Amazon rainforest; and the 11-day “Peruvian Rivers & Rainforest Discovery,” roundtrip from Iquitos.
Both itineraries will include native-born-and-raised naturalist guides onboard to guide guests through both the onboard and onshore experiences.

The 16-suite ship Aria Amazon features floor-to-ceiling windows; a top deck with a jacuzzi, indoor lounge and bar, and observation deck; an eco-friendly design; and more. As with other Uniworld fares, all gratuities, drinks, meals, and onboard entertainment are included in the fare.
Bookings are now open for River Heritage Club members first. The sailings will go live on Uniworld’s website on Dec. 16.
