Launched in 2020, the Aqua Nera is the newest by a decade of the roughly half-dozen commercial river boats that cruise the Peruvian Amazon River. The ship is operated by Aqua Expeditions, who have branched out from their beginnings on the Amazon River to operate small-boat cruises in the Galapagos, Indonesia, and the Mekong River….

Vinyl Ceiling Removed

Our 2009 KK48 North Sea was delivered with a padded vinyl ceiling. This was the first 48 delivered with this way. Previous boats much to our envy were delivered with a beautiful glass/teak trimmed ceiling. Over time the plasticizers in the vinyl began …
