AQUA Expeditions
AQUA Expeditions sails small, design-led ships through some of the world's most remote and biodiverse waterways, from the Peruvian Amazon to the Mekong River and the islands of eastern Indonesia.
With only 15 to 20 suites on most ships and close to one crew member for every guest, each voyage feels private. Expert guides lead daily excursions by skiff, kayak or on foot.
Our US-based advisors help you choose the destination and dates, and plan your flights and hotel stays before and after the expedition.
The Peruvian Amazon
Aqua Nera: 20 river-facing suites with large windows, a plunge pool, spa and gym.
Amazonian Cuisine: Menus developed with acclaimed Peruvian chef Pedro Miguel Schiaffino, built around local ingredients.
Voyages: Three-, four- and seven-night expeditions deep into the rainforest, with naturalist guides and daily skiff outings to spot wildlife.
Mekong & Indonesia
Aqua Mekong: About 40 guests in staterooms of more than 300 sq ft, with skiffs that take you to villages and temples along the river.
Aqua Blu: A 15-suite expedition yacht for about 30 guests, exploring the islands of eastern Indonesia on mostly seven-night voyages.
Time in the Water: On Aqua Blu, certified dive guides, snorkeling gear, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards are all on board.
Why Book with Sparks
Personal Service: Close to one crew member for every guest on board.
Limited Space: With so few suites, popular dates fill quickly, especially in peak season.
