Abercrombie & Kent is sharing more details about its new Peruvian Amazon riverboat.
Today, the cruise line offered a first look at the ship’s interior design and revealed its name: Pure Amazon.
The new vessel is slated to set sail in the middle of next year. Pre-registration is open now, with bookings slated to open next month.
Pure Amazon was designed by Adriana Granato, A&K Travel Group’s architect, of the Milan-based architecture and research practice Studio Ibsen. Granato also worked with Peruvian artisans.

The ship has 10 suites and two single cabins, which feature large windows and handcrafted furnishings made from locally sourced materials. More broadly, the design philosophy seeks to combine “the highest European standards with the warmth and vibrancy of Amazonian culture,” according to the company.
The ship will have an onboard wellness room, a gym, indoor and outdoor lounges, and a dining room featuring Amazon-inspired dishes.
Travelers will be able to choose from a wide array of shore excursions, from guided nature works to local village visits to kayaking and more.
"Our first riverboat in Latin America is an exciting new chapter in A&K's legacy of luxury expedition cruising," says Cristina Levis, chief executive officer of Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group. "With her launch, we invite guests to embark on a transformative journey into the very soul of the Amazon, where unparalleled adventures intertwine with the warm hospitality and exceptional service that define every A&K voyage."
