SWAN Hellenic has unveiled three different cultural expedition voyages to Brazil for next year.
Vega will navigate the Amazon Mouth Breves Narrows, a part of the river inaccessible to larger vessels.
The variety of cruises will offer passengers the opportunity to venture upriver to explore the mouth of the Amazon and heart of the rainforest, navigating the secluded Breves Narrows, where the pink Amazon river dolphin resides, exploring historic Portuguese forts, the dunes of the UNESCO heritage site Lencois Maranhenses National Park, and more.
Other highlights include the Rio Cajari Extractive Reserve – publicly owned land, but the inhabitants have hunting and fishing rights.
Passengers can also visit the Abrolhos Marine National Park, a sanctuary of biodiversity and a breeding ground for humpback whales.
The first cruises will depart in Apr 2027, with three more to set sail in Oct and Nov.
These latter three voyages can be daisy-chained to create an immersive 29-night exploration from Bridgetown, Barbados to Paramaribo, Suriname, and then the Salvation Islands and the coastline of Brazil, before the trip concludes in Rio.
