Amazon Adventure 4-30-17 (Cruise Details)

 We will be sailing on the Regent Seven Seas Navigator.  This is the same ship we sailed on our Alaskan cruise several years ago.


The Navigator is a smaller ship with only 245 rooms and holds up to 500 passengers.  The Navigator will have just finished a 128 day around the world cruise shortly before we board.


Regent is an all inclusive cruise line with the fare including all tips, all beverages (including alcohol and wines), specialty dining, and a selection of shore excursions in each port of call.  Also included is Internet access, round trip airfare and in some suites, a pre-cruise hotel accommodations.
This particular cruise is also a Smithsonian Journey.  That means we will have a guest lecturer on board who is a specialist in the Amazon.  Our Alaskan cruise also had this feature and it provided an excellent opportunity to learn more about the ports we visited and the local flora and fauna.

Our cruise will last 25 days, beginning in Miami, FL on May 23, 2017.  We plan on arriving a couple of days before and are considering several activities including a food tour, an Everglades tour and Harbor tours.  The Amazon portion of the cruise is about 7 days with the highlight of the cruise being an over night stay in a local Eco-Lodge.  While at the lodge, we will hike the rain forest and experience the river at night by boat.

We are pleased to have in hand the required Brazilian visas and all needed vaccination documentation.  Today we picked up our Malaria prophylaxis which must be taken daily starting two days before potential exposure through seven days post potential exposure.
