About This Cruise
The 12 Night A Journey of Amazon Exploration & Cultural Discovery is a 12-night round-trip itinerary aboard Explora I. You board and return in San Juan, calling at 14 ports across 9 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Puerto Rico (San Juan), Martinique (Saint-Pierre), Barbados (Bridgetown), Trinidad and Tobago (Trinidad), Brazil (Macapa, Santarem, Boca da Valeria and 4 more), French Guiana (Iles Du Salut) and 2 more, among others.
Because it's round-trip from San Juan, you fly into and out of a single city and unpack just once. Longer hops are crossed on the 6 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports.
