I’ll show you exactly what it’s like to live onboard, from my spacious suite and the fine dining, to the wildlife encounters deep in the Peruvian rainforest. As we travel along the river, we’ll venture into various tributaries, lakes and even into the jungle itself via high speed skiff, encountering dolphins, sloths and predators of the jungle. I’ll fish for piranhas and trek through the dense rainforest. As usual, I’ll give you a full tour of the ship itself, including the suites, dining, spa and various amenities - oh, and reveal what I paid for this ultra-luxury expedition! This was not the trip I had originally planned, but it turned out to be one of the most unforgettable travel experiences I’ve ever had. 0:00 - Intro 02:58 - Suite 05:02 - Dinner 7:00 - Piranhas 08:20 - Breakfast 10:24 - Outer Decks 12:44 - Ship tour 15:30 - Jungle Trek 17:10 - Entertainment 19:22 - Cost
