The Brasilian Dream From Manaus
CroisiEurope, the French family-owned river line, has announced a new ship for the Amazon, the Brasilian Dream, starting in February 2027. Its first program has three 10-night itineraries:
| Itinerary | Route | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Along the Amazon & the Rio Negro | Round trip from Manaus | Jau National Park and the Anavilhanas archipelago |
| The Gentle Amazon & the Tapajos River | Santarem to Manaus | Stops on the clear-water Tapajos and Arapiuns rivers |
| The Original Amazon | Manaus to Tabatinga | Remote stretches near the Brazil, Colombia and Peru borders |
Details can change before the ship enters service, so our advisors confirm the final schedule before quoting.
Other Ways to Cruise the Amazon in 2027

Planning Tips for 2027
- Choose high water or low water first — it changes the whole experience. See when to go.
- Allow a buffer night in Manaus or Iquitos before sailing; regional flights can run late.
- Book vaccinations early; a travel clinic may need several weeks.
- Buy travel insurance with medical evacuation cover — Cruise & Travel Insurance explains what to look for.
Amazon 2027 Questions
What is new for Amazon river cruises in 2027?
The headline is CroisiEurope’s Brasilian Dream, scheduled to begin sailing from Manaus in February 2027. The Peruvian expedition ships continue from Iquitos, and ocean lines continue to schedule voyages up the Amazon to Manaus.
Should I book now for 2027?
If you want a particular month or cabin, yes. Amazon ships are small, and the first season of a new ship often fills early. We do not publish fares; ask for a quote for current pricing and offers.
What a 10-Night Brazilian Amazon Cruise Covers
Ten nights is long by Amazon standards, and it changes what is possible. Instead of a quick loop from Manaus, a ship can reach Jau National Park on the upper Rio Negro, explore the clear-water Tapajos with its beaches and river communities, or follow the main river west toward the border towns of Tabatinga and Leticia. Expect daily skiff outings, guided forest walks, visits to riverside villages and long, quiet evenings on deck. As with any first season, the details of a new ship are best confirmed with the line close to booking.
