Exploring the Amazon by Luxury Expedition Ship with Seabourn Venture

In this week’s edition of Travel in 10, David Brodie welcomes co-host Tim Johnson back from an unforgettable journey deep into the heart of Brazil’s Amazon rainforest. This episode is your front-row seat to one of the world’s most remote and biodiverse destinations—experienced in style aboard Seabourn Venture, a purpose-built luxury expedition ship.

From pink dolphins to piranha fishing, and from remote riverside villages to a stunning theatrical festival in Parintins, this is not your typical cruise. Join us as we explore what it’s like to navigate the world’s largest river system aboard a small ship packed with amenities—and adventure.

• A surprise cultural highlight: a private performance of the Boi Bumbá Festival in Parintins, featuring vibrant costumes, storytelling, and unmatched energy
• What to expect onboard, including luxury suites, spa, jacuzzis, fine dining, and expert-led nightly briefings from naturalists and scientists
