River cruise in Brazil
On cruises and expedition voyages, coastal cruises, sailing and yacht journeys to Brazil later, this entry is about river cruises and small barge trips. If you should search for a perfect small ship river cruise holiday, Brazil offers a wonderful cruise on the Sao Francisco River out of Pirapora, north of Belo Horizonte. The cruise runs 6 days and prices start from $ 1119.00 per person; next available sailing date is December 27th. Fueled by reforested wood the Vapor Benjamin Guimaraes river cruise ship sails at a leisurely 17 km per hour. With only 24 passengers this is indeed no ocean monster ship but a perfect setting for a romantic voyage into the back-country of Brazil.
Then there is the Amazon, and the cruise vessel Tucano is the one to take. Fitted with beautiful woodwork including decks finished in deep brown natural wood, the river barge can accommodate only 18 passengers. With trained naturalist guides aboard, a cruise on the Tucano provides a genuine and thrilling experience through the Amazon rain forest. The top observation deck is the perfect place to catch some sun and watch the Macaw parrots screeching across the afternoon sky.
