Welcome to this week's Cruise Chat! This episode explores the Aqua Nera and Aria Amazon On Aqua Expeditions. . If you find value in this video and wish to help this channel, you can donate using this link: https://bit.ly/KathleenPenner. . Video Requests: info@PlentyofSunshineTravel.com. . I loved meeting with Monika and learning more about Aqua Expeditions. . Why Aqua Expeditions? Aqua expeditions are luxury small-ship expeditions in remote destinations. They have State-of-the-art designed vessels. The service on Aqua Expeditions offers personalized luxury travel experiences with a 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio. . Aqua Expeditions travels to the Peruvian Amazon and the Pacaya-Samiria Reserve. All the suites maximize your views with floor-to-ceiling windows that bring the outdoors in. . You can upgrade to having two connecting suites, which is only an additional 25% of the cost. - Double the space and not double the price sounds great to me! You can bring your family and have lots of room to stretch out! You can bring the family or use the second suite as your living room. The choice is yours. . Aria Amazon High Water Itinerary is: Iquitos City is where you will start and end your cruise. With stops at Acu Yacapana, Nauta Town, Casuala, Dauta Caro, Yanayacu Pucate, Giavero Lake, Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. So many unplanned stops, you can enjoy the spontaneity of this expedition cruise. . The high-water season is from November to May, and the low-water season is from April to October. . The Low Water Season Itinerary starts in Nauta Town and traverses the Tahuayo and Maranon Rivers. You will also visit Puerto Prado and Yanayacu Pucate and continue cruising on the Oucayali River, Tapara River, and Cavero Lake. You will also visit the Pacaya Samaria National Reserve and have outstanding experiences in both itineraries. . Both seasons will still give you great wildlife viewing, and you will still visit the rainforest. You will fly to a city called Aitos. It's about 1 hour and 40 minutes from Lima. . The Aqua Nera has a more upscale design and departs on different days of the week than the Aqua Aria, but the itineraries are the same. . Departure Dates: Aria Amazon (Monday and Friday) and Aqua Nera (Tuesday and Saturday. She also has three Decks, a top viewing deck and two passenger decks. Aqua Nero has many dark wood tones. Nera means Black in Italian; keeping with its namesake, much of the color scheme is black. . Inside the bathroom, handmade inlay Portuguese-painted tile is present. Many details tie in the Peruvian area's history and culture. The lounge and bar areas have bamboo seating, using the materials surrounding the Peruvian rainforest. . Beer and wine are included on the Aqua Nera throughout your voyage. The ship also has a screening room (movie room) and a balanced pool table, a great addition. So you can have fun and unwind at the end of your day of exploration. . My favourite feature of the Aqua Nera is the Infinity pool! Seeing the rainforest as you soak in an infinity pool would be outstanding! . You can go Kayaking down the Amazon with Aqua Expeditions. You can also go fishing for piranhas. What a great experience!

. Aqua Expeditions also offers birdwatching and helps you take the best photos. You can also borrow one of Aqua's bikes and explore the town. .

In this weeks cruise Chat Kathleen from Plenty of Sunshine Travel met with Margarita from Azamara.  I learned why their tagline is #ExploreFurther. On an Azamara cruise you will spend longer in port. For example a sample port time is often docking at 8am and not leaving again till 10pm –  an entire day and evening in the port, allowing you to truly feel relaxed and to explore the city, you stay longer and get to explore further!     Azamara is for travellers who desire destination immersion!  If you want longer stays, more overnights, and night touring then contact me to get you on board.

Welcome to this week's Episode!

.

This episode explores the luxurious world of French Polynesia Cruises and Paul Gauguin.

.

If you find value in this video and wish to help this channel, you can donate using this link: https://bit.ly/KathleenPenner.

.

Video Requests: info@PlentyofSunshineTravel.com I loved meeting with Vicky and learning more about Paul Gauguin.

.

Paul Gauguin has been in the French Polynesia Islands exclusively for 25 years! After exploring this area for 25 years, they have established relationships with the tour operators and gained the locals' respect!

. Paul Gauguin has one mid-sized ship. There is ample room to spread out and to have space of your own. They have one ship that is continually in the Pacific.

.

With longer stays, you will be immersed in the areas you visit. This will give you more time to explore and learn about the culture, which is why I love to cruise. I want to see new cultures and explore new lands.

.

How big are the suites on Paul Gauguin?

The Owner's suite is 534 to 588 Square feet.

The Grand Suite is 529 Square feet.

The Balcony Stateroom - Both Category C & D are 239 Square feet.

.

Does Paul Gauguin have a kids program?

Yes, they do. It is called the Moana Explorer Program, and children from ages 6- 15 will explore the area and learn from locals what life is like in French Polynesia. The Moana Explorer programs run only in July & August and December.

. There is no better way to learn about an area than to visit and learn from people there. The kids will visit a turtle sanctuary and learn how they are trying to save the turtles.

In Bora Bora, Paul Gauguin has a stretch of Island—its own private area just for you. You can walk out into the ocean long before a drop-off. This is perfect for snorkelling and also great for kids. .

Some of the itineraries offered are:

.

7 nights Tahiti & the Society Islands

Bora Bora, Taha'a (Motu Mahana), Huahine, Moorea and Papeete.

In this weeks episode Kathleen from Plenty of Sunshine Travel met with Jennifer from Avalon Waterways. We discussed the Amazon, Ganges, Machu Picchu, Mekong and Galapagos itineraries. These are amazing! By cruising with Avalon you not only get the river cruise experience but you get to do a land add-on with each of these cruises! Personally, in my opinion, the best itinerary that we discussed is Machu Picchu.  The reason I think Machu Picchu is the best is because of the value you get with Avalon! When you arrive you get to spend 1 night at the base of Machu Picchu! You stay in a hotel right there! You don't need to stay far away then have to bus in. You are staying in the heart of the attraction! You also get 2 days of admission into this area to explore. Since your flight arrives early in the morning you have all day to explore. How amazing! You do have a few flights with this itinerary but they are all included. So You get to see Iquitos, plus Lima and Cusco as well as Sacred Valley and of course the cruise in the Amazon!  What a dream vacation!!! I love how Avalon combines so all the tours and land portions as well as the river cruise! Fabulous! I think I am ready to go! Are you? All you have to do is send me a message and this trip can be yours! I also do a show notes  page on my website. Which has all the highlights and some of the pictures for you to see them better. as well as the Youtube video  To see that click here . http://bit.ly/AvalonBlog To plan a cruise with Avalon or any of the other cruises I discuss on my weekly cruise chat's please send me a message to info@PlentyofSunshineTravel.com Remember to subscribe to our channel. #PlentyofSunshineTravel #CruisingtheWaves

Video Requests: info@PlentyofSunshineTravel.com This was recorded when we were on Explora Journeys. I had the chance to chat with Patrica about this amazing cruise experience! Have you been able to look at my other videos? Click here to see the suite tours. ADA Ocean Terrace Suite OT3 OT3 (Ocean Terrace 3) Cove Residence Terrace Suite. Premier Penthouse Suite Retreat Residence Suite Click HERE to see the spa tour with the spa manager, Elina. Click HERE to see the pool tours. Click HERE to see the playlist where I met with Patrica and Aimee Price, and we chatted about all things Explora. . Stay tuned to our channel to see the daily vlogs being created. . I loved having the opportunity to meet with Patricia in person! . Explora Journeys has one of the best guest services I have ever seen onboard a cruise ship. They are polite, helpful and always there when you need something. - if it's a drink, a meal, or a helping hand. They are there! I cannot wait to go back and experience this service again. . Explora Journeys is a mid-sized ship with a small ship feel. There is ample room to spread out and to have space of your own. . We had difficulty trying to choose our favourite restaurant. Sakura is near the top of the list - it's Pan-Asian, and many of the items on the menu you may not make at home for yourself, so it's a nice treat to head out to that restaurant!

. There are many restaurants onboard. If you want to see all the restaurants and sample menus, check out this page on my website: https://www.plentyofsunshinetravel.com/explora-journeys-restaurants/ There is a restaurant for everyone, including gluten-free and vegan options. . The Emporium has fresh foods made to order. It is called a Marketplace, not a buffet. The pasta is made every day, as is the bread. Delicious! The Med Yacht Club is outstanding. - the appetizers are made to share with the table. When we went with Patrica, we ordered everything on the menu and shared it, which was neat! The dessert ~ the semifreddo... WOW! We would go in just for that! . In Fil Rouge, the specialty item is the soufflé, which changes frequently. Having it rise higher and higher above the dish is a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds! . Every venue has been fantastic. Only one restaurant has a charge (Anthology), which is well worth it! . I love how many pools there are. I have been on ships that are larger and had fewer pools. I loved that there are many pool options. You can get complementary milkshakes, which is nice returning from a hot port day. . You will feel that you are at home or in a hotel, not on a cruise. It is amazing! You will feel at home in the suites, which is why they are called residential suites. With 461 suites - all oceanfront and all have a terrace. There is one for you! They start at 377 square feet and only go up from there. Your host attendant is going to keep your suite spotless! . I want to thank Patrica for including me on this cruise with her and for taking the time to sit down with me and chat about all things Explora Journeys! .
