While big names in cruising have dominated the travel industry for years, there are those niche cruise companies, like Rainforest Cruises, offering the same adventure destinations and incredible experiences, but with the added localized touches only a boutique brand could.

 

For bucket list destinations and once-in-a-lifetime locales you’ve dreamt of, but have yet to plan, the family-friendly cruise line has a tour to consider. Cruise the Amazon River, taking in the incredible wilderness; sail down the Mekong and Irrawaddy rivers, delving into a culture you didn’t know existed; or venture through the world-famous Galapagos Islands — all with travel experts ready to guide your family through the trip of a lifetime.

 

Rainforest Cruises has some of the best itineraries you’ve never heard of through South America and Southeast Asia.

 

For those seeking a luxury tour through the Amazon, Rainforest Cruises offers a package including a free two-night extension option at the Treehouse Lodge — which is see-it-to-believe-it beautiful. Even the cruise vessel is uniquely luxurious, with a Swiss Family Robinson vibe and all the luxury comforts of a 5-star hotel.

The chef-prepared, locally sourced cuisine pairs well with the tour of Peru. Eating well and staying in comfort will leave your family well prepared for the activities ahead. Active guests enjoy treks through the jungle, including visits to the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve. Expect some fishing excursion options, kayaking and visits to local villages along the journey.

 

Available through Jan. 31, 2019, with a five- to eight-day Aria Amazon cruise, guests enjoy two free nights at the Treehouse, free domestic flights within Peru via LATAM Airlines Group, all meals and non-alcoholic drinks, transfers and excursions, $5,100–8,925, per person.

 

If waking up to the sounds of the Amazon is not really your family’s thing, Rainforest Cruises also offers cruises through India along the Ganges River; the Bolivian Amazon; Panama City and the Pearl Islands; Laos, China, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam by way of the Mekong River; the temples of ancient history of Myanmar along the Irrawaddy River; and the wildlife-covered Galapagos Islands — all of this with a well-balanced blend of land itineraries and luxury add-ons.

 

Essentially, if it’s natural beauty you want, cultural immersion, active itineraries and luxury comforts and services, Rainforest Cruises can help.
