About the cruise

If, like Artemis, you’re an adventurer at heart, why not join her for a holiday that combines the allure of the Caribbean with a cruise along the Amazon? Flying out to Barbados, the very next day finds you in Grenada, known as the ‘spice island’ due to the nutmeg, mace, cloves and cinnamon grown there.

A cruise along the Amazon surrounded by dense rainforest takes you off the beaten track, to Santarem, at the confluence of the Amazon and Tapajos rivers. Parintins follows, with a chance to witness a completely different way of life and observe the local traditions and crafts. Manaus City is a product of the wealth produced by rubber – complete with its own Opera House, it provides something of a contrast! From here, you sail back into the Caribbean where exuberant locals, historical sites and natural splendours such as waterfalls, reefs and countless white sand beaches await.
