In the wake of the M/V Aqua’s great success, its creators conceived of a sister ship of slightly larger size and even grander features, making it one of the largest of our selected vessels. The M/V Aria was built in 2010 and launched in 2011, three years after the M/V Aqua. Cabin features include California king sized beds, en suite sitting area, panoramic windows, private bathrooms, and hot water at all times. Common areas are the indoor bar/lounge, outside lounge, outdoor Jacuzzi, exercise room, observation deck, boutique, and elegant dining room.

Like its sister ship, the M/V Aria takes pride in its five star dining and amenities set against one of the most remote and exotic landscapes on earth. You’ll be served by a staff of 24 plus four English-speaking naturalist guides. On daily excursions onto the shore, you’ll join a guide who is an expert on the 1,000 species of flora, hundreds of mammals, and over 400 species of birds in the region. The M/V Aria escorts its passengers through a pristine ecosystem, wholly committed to both its conservation and an ultimate experience for its visitors.
