The hotel at Manaus has seen better days but the cruise was excellent. There were only six of us on board, three couples, in a boat that could take eighteen people. If full probably overcrowded.
The food and staff excellent and the guide and organised trips each day full and varied. No complaints at all.
We flew Varig who have emerged after bankrupcy. No in flight entertainment, service OK. We got there and home more or less on time but the good news at half the price at least from any other airline, £710 return from LHR to Manaus via Sao Paulo return.
We stopped over at Rio for five days, well worth the trip
