Luxury expedition river yacht drifting through the untamed Peruvian Amazon
&Beyond
Amazon Explorer
Launching September 2026
A journey shaped by the river
A deeper way to move through the rainforest, and feel it move through you.
Crafted for stillness and discovery, the &Beyond Amazon Explorer flows where the river leads. Rainforest textures and Shipibo-inspired patterns ground you in the landscape, even as the river carries you forward. Spacious suites, among the largest in the region, offer a rare sense of calm and connection, with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the forest as it wakes, shifts and settles. Every detail is intentional. Solar panels lighten our footprint. Wide windows erase the boundary between indoors and out. The River Retreat and Explorer Centre offer space to reflect, recharge and reconnect.
With just 15 suites, including four designed to connect for families or friends, this is a journey built for intimacy and depth. Expertly trained &Beyond guides bring insight and intuition in equal measure, knowing when to share a story and when to let nature speak for itself.
Reflections of the wild
Sail through the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve’s mirrored waterways where the rainforest appears twice—above and below.
Nature at its most alive
From pink dolphins to prowling jaguars, the Peruvian Amazon teems with species found nowhere else on Earth.
Naturally spacious, by design
With just 15 suites and wide-open decks, the yacht invites pause, privacy and uninterrupted connection to the wild outside.
With heart and instinct
Trained across our portfolio, &Beyond guides bring deep knowledge—and the sensitivity to know when silence says more.
