If nature’s orchestra has created a masterpiece, then it is the Amazon. Its name stands for temptation, risk and the longing for adventure, but also for the need to protect unique ecosystems. How do you feel when you hear, see and feel it? Find out on board. The advantages of your small expedition ship are already apparent on the day trip through the Breves Canals, which gives you an idea of the fantastic creations of nature. The calls of toucans, yellow-headed caracaras and saffron finches accompany you. The lush, overgrown banks draw ever closer to the ship as it confidently negotiates challenging changes of direction – much to the delight of the locals, the caboclos, who you will encounter again and again on your journey in their small and large boats. While you experience the myth of the Amazon with all your senses, the experts on board will quench your thirst for knowledge and shed light on the tension between pristine nature and global economic interests.

The Amazon, or “Rio Mar” as the locals call it, is a global symbol of the need to protect our nature and at the same time a river full of wonders and records. It becomes the stage for poignant natural spectacles, which you experience respectfully and accompanied by experts on your small, maneuverable expedition ship and its Zodiacs, depending on the weather and current conditions.

The start of your intensive Amazon adventure is marked by Guajara, a small settlement where families live from livestock farming. You might spot mighty water buffalo standing far out in the river and grazing on aquatic plants. If you are lucky, you might spot the legendary pink river dolphins from the Zodiac – the young animals are initially grey and only change color after two years.

Look out for a special bird of paradise at the small shore settlement of Virassaia : the primitive hoatzin. On Zodiac trips through species-rich floodplains, you may also spot herons and cormorants. New surprises await around every bend in the river.

Enjoy a relaxing time in the village of Alter do Chao on the Rio Tapajos, where a surprisingly Caribbean-looking beach invites you to swim in the warm water. A landscape that appears or disappears depending on the water level. Along the riverbanks, the Brazilian jungle beckons for wonderful nature explorations with your experts.

Explore the city of Parintins on the large river island of Tupinambarana. Pure Brazilian joie de vivre awaits you here, characterized by indigenous traditions – such as the famous folklore festival in June. In addition to the cathedral, which is well worth seeing, regional delicacies will delight your senses.

You can track down a completely different natural treasure at Canacari : In the Zodiac, you travel through grass meadows in search of the largest water lily in the world, the Victoria amazonica – its fabulous leaf diameter is up to 3 meters. But birdwatchers will also get their money’s worth when they spot diving great-billed terns, great and little egrets and various species of birds of prey.

Again and again you will reach hidden paradises and marvel at exotic plants and animals. Your experiences are enhanced by the specialist knowledge of the experts. They will shed light with you on the extent to which economic interests are taking possession of this treasure trove of nature and endangering it, but also on how initiatives around the world are committed to saving and reforesting it.

Highlights and circumnavigation depending on conditions (including Hornsund, Barentsøya, sailing through Freemansund, Wilhelmøya, Nordaustlandet, Kvitøya, Storøya, Sjuoyane, Beverlysundet, Liefdefjord, 14th of July Glacier, Ny Alesund, Prins Karls Forland)

High in the north of Europe lies an expedition destination that awakens the longings of explorers like no other: Spitsbergen – myth and adventure at the same time. In this nautically challenging area, the HANSEATIC nature makes full use of its advantages: small, maneuverable and with the highest ice class for passenger ships. If the conditions are favorable, she makes her way via the “outer route” via Kvitøya and dares to circumnavigate.

Huge glaciers, deep fjords and untouched wilderness: the habitat of polar bears, Arctic foxes, whales and walruses will awaken a real sense of discovery in you. The captain and crew are constantly redefining the route, with the weather and ice conditions determining the flexible course. To start with, the view of the edge of the Samarinbreen glacier in Hornsund creates the first of many lasting memories – framed by imposing mountains.

Can you spot reindeer in blooming nature on Barentsøya? You might even see the largest and heaviest animal in the world: the blue whale. Continue through the narrow Freemansund between Barents Island and Edgeøya to the uninhabited island of Wilhelmøya, weather and ice conditions permitting. The Zodiacs will take you to the island of Nordaustlandet, which is largely covered in ice caps. You may spot reindeer and Arctic foxes, Svalbard poppies and red saxifrage on a hike through the barren tundra. If the ice clears the way, then one thing is certain: you will be writing explorer history, just like the Swedish polar explorer Salomon August Andrée in 1897, when you reach the “white island” of Kvitøya. Seclusion in its most beautiful form, covered in ice and with a rocky peninsula to the east – an Arctic dream.

People rarely come here, but polar bears do. The HANSEATIC nature, with its steel-reinforced hull, makes its way safely through the area to take you on further adventures in Northwest Spitsbergen. After Kvitøya, the route continues via Storøya to the very north of the archipelago. Sjuoyane, also known as the Seven Islands, is the northernmost part of Spitsbergen.

Here, too, you will experience Arctic landscapes with glaciers and fjords and possibly exciting wildlife sightings. Beverlysundet is known for its wildlife and historical sites from earlier expeditions. Peaky mountains frame the Liefdefjord, at the end of which rises the mighty Monaco Glacier. There is a good chance of spotting polar bears from a respectful distance from the deck here, as elsewhere on your Spitsbergen expedition.

The more than 2,000 glaciers are fascinating. The spectacular 14th of July Glacier is one of them. Arctic flowers bloom on nearby slopes, while kittiwakes and thick-billed guillemots nest on the cliffs. You reach Ny Alesund, one of the northernmost settlements on earth. Coal was once mined here, but today international scientists are dedicated to meteorology and research into global warming and the Northern Lights. With a bit of luck, you will end your expedition on the small island of Prins Karls Forland with impressive wildlife sightings: impressive walruses often gather here in herds. Alongside Barents, Amundsen and today’s explorers, you are now one of Spitsbergen’s discoverers.

On the Rio Negro, you will witness the legendary “Encontro das Aguas”, the “Meeting of the Waters”. This is the name given to the spectacular confluence of the dark Rio Negro and the light, clay-brown Rio Solimoes, as the Amazon is called at this point. In this unique natural spectacle, the two rivers do not mix immediately, but flow side by side for miles. From the deck and from the circulation at the bow, you will observe that the protected riverside landscapes of the Rio Negro vary depending on the water level. Your experts on board will be able to tell you exciting stories about the variety of plants and animals that prefer the riverbanks.

Accompanied by the sounds of the jungle, you reach Manaus, the capital of the state of Amazonas. In the metropolis on the Rio Negro, it becomes clear how closely nature and culture are intertwined on the banks of the river. The play of colors of the jungle and the megacity seem to want to outdo each other – and yet together they form a unique symbiosis. The rubber boom once helped Manaus to fabulous wealth, as evidenced by the magnificent Teatro Amazonas with marble from Carrara and crystal chandeliers from Murano. Colonial past and global present meet in the jungle metropolis, where modern glass facades alternate with classicist and art nouveau buildings. Be inspired by the city’s history and its contrasts.

Even today, previously unknown animal and plant species are still being discovered in the Amazon region – proof of the uniqueness of this ecosystem and the need to protect it.

A Zodiac cruise through small canals near Badajos also increases your awareness of this. Oversized water lilies impress on the surface of the water. Next to huge Brazil nut trees, you will discover the red blossoms of bromeliads and passion flowers. It’s a good thing that the experts accompanying you will sharpen your vision in this fascinating thicket. For example, to marvel at the capuchin monkeys and sloths gambolling in the branches.

As the Zodiacs make their way through the nocturnal jungle of Cuxiu Muni , you may catch sight of the glowing eyes of a caiman. Your Amazon experts on board will introduce you to the bizarre world of reptiles and insects and enthusiastically explain the interrelationships of the sensitive ecosystem.

This unique journey is always an invitation to marvel – including on the Rio Jutai, where you keep an eye out for exotic species and the calls of tropical birds echo across the water. You travel through the flooded forest with the Zodiacs between the submerged trees – with an abundance of lianas and colorful flowering plants.

In Leticia, an important trading center in the border triangle of Colombia, Peru and Brazil, you can also experience the delicious richness of the lush plant world. On the banks of the river, tropical fruits and vegetables as well as fresh spices impress in the colorful markets – a lively testimony to a culture that lives with and from nature. Enticing colors and scents captivate your senses, accompanied by the whistling and calls of parrots.

Pevas, one of the oldest Peruvian settlements on the Amazon and still characterized today by the traditional pile dwellings of the Indio village, gives you an idea of living in the wilderness. A fascinating end to your intensive Amazon adventure.
