Desafio

Discover the Amazon in style and comfort aboard the M/V Desafio, a fully renovated and carefully restored classical solid wood schooner. This 34-metre 3-masted sailing ship is fitted with motors to ensure free and secure movement along the Amazon River and its tributaries.

The M/V Desafio accommodates a maximum of only 24 passengers in 12 spacious cabins divided between the upper and lower decks. Cabins are equipped with en-suite facilities and individual air-conditioning. The ship features an air-conditioned panoramic restaurant where delicious Amazonian cuisine is served, a sun-deck where you can relax and soak up the scenery, multi-lingual crew and an experienced professional jungle guide.  

The M/V Desafio provides the highest levels of service, ideal for those who want to explore the Amazon and share the experience and the secrets of the rainforest with only a handful of other guests as you sail along deserted tributaries inaccessible to larger vessels. Setting sail from the jungle city of Manaus, the M/V Desafio offers the best of two worlds - the comfort and convenience of a pre-arranged group programme and the joy of personal discovery on this intimate and private cruise into the heart of the Brazilian Amazon.
