Amazon Clipper Premium For 20 years, Amazon Clipper Cruises has been a leader in operating boat cruises in the Amazon River system, using traditional riverboats. For those who wish the comfort of a luxury ship, we now present the new Amazon Clipper Premium, a vessel unique in style that offers “simply the best” small-ship cruising in the Amazon. Large enough to offer spacious cabins with lower beds and inviting public spaces. However, small enough to dock at remote spots and cruise to hidden locations due to the shallow draft of only 3 feet, the Amazon Clipper Premium is the perfect size for a comfortable cruise on the Amazon rivers. Amazon Clipper Cruises now puts at your disposal its complete support infrastructure to offer an on-board experience that's second to none - and in addition, we will take you to places few other cruise passengers ever seen. It's possible, because our cruise groups are small and personal, and our knowledge of the destination is complete.
