Discover The Vibrant Amazonian Rain Forest On A Luxury River Cruise

Once again, a long hot summer has evaded us in the UK this year, so it’s no wonder that the cruise has become such a popular choice for holiday makers seeking sunnier climes. As the cruise grows in popularity, the pick of destinations increases, some of which are quite simply breathtaking. So how do you choose whether to go on a cruise around Amsterdam, set sail to the Canaries or venture further afield on a river cruise along the vibrant and exciting Amazon rain forest? It’s simple – each cruise offers something unique, so just decide what you want from your holiday and how long you want to be away for, and find the cruise that perfectly matches your needs.

Built in a traditional style, cruise ships offer the beauty of an old vessel whilst boasting spacious cabins with modern conveniences, including flat screen televisions. Much more than just a place to rest your head after a busy day of sightseeing, cruise ships offer a combination of home comforts and luxurious features such as spa facilities, as well as fine dining and truly entertaining acts, ensuring you’ll have absolutely everything you need and want while on board.

However, it’s the untouched places, which only a cruise ship can get you to, that makes this type of holiday so magical. One day you could be in bustling Lisbon or Santa Cruz and the next you could be enjoying the beautiful, peaceful and tropical island of Sao Vicente, Cape Verde and the capital and port town of Mindelo. The Amazon rain forest is one of earth’s great treasures and taking a long holiday to cruise the Amazon River promises to be a truly life-changing experience. From Belem - the Brazilian gateway to Amazonia – and the tiny but beautiful Boca da Valeria with its houses on stilts, to Scarborough (Tobago not Yorkshire!), rich in rainforest, coral and pristine sandy beaches, there’s really no reason why a river cruise along the Amazon wouldn’t appeal.

By their very nature, river cruises to far flung destinations - such as the Amazon rainforest - have days at sea cruising from the UK to the Caribbean. That’s why it is so important to choose a cruise ship with plenty of great amenities. Look for one with a choice of eateries, a cinema complex, a gym, a sauna and a Jacuzzi and - of course - plenty of places to sit back and relax, do a spot of boutique shopping and be pampered.

So instead of booking a package holiday to a single destination, why not book a spacious cabin on board a luxurious cruise ship and take one of the many Ocean Countess cruises which set sail from Hull, Liverpool, Newcastle, Tilbury and Dover?
