IFlyHarder Posted March 1, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I had my first Oceania experience and really loved it. I'm also a complete lunatic who likes to make travel plans up to two years in advance! Do any of you Oceania pros know if the company has considered Amazon itineraries? I'm already mapping out my 2017 plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted March 1, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 1, 2015 They have been doing the Amazon for about 10 years now. Look for cruises leaving from Manaus. Mura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm already mapping out my 2017 plans. Most of Oceania cruises are out about 18mths in advance you may have to wait a bit longer for 2017 plans here is a sampling https://www.oceaniacruises.com/south-america-cruises/port-manaus-MAO/ Edited March 1, 2015 by LHT28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IFlyHarder Posted March 1, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Thanks! I guess I've missed seeing them because I filter my searches for shorter cruises. Alas the difficulty of the need to work! Guess I may have to hold off until retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floridiana Posted March 1, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 1, 2015 It's usually Miami - Manaus - Miami. We did New York City - Manaus - Miami on the Regatta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I may have to hold off until retirement. We too work. In Dec they had the Same 20 day cruise over the Xmas holiday. Unfortunately it got cancelled due the Insignia fire. Maybe they will have a repeat (minus the fire) in late 2016 or 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammiedawg Posted March 2, 2015 #8 Share Posted March 2, 2015 We did one last March out of Rio, it was fabulous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvmovielover Posted March 3, 2015 #9 Share Posted March 3, 2015 In the latest brochure (booking starts tomorrow), there are 4 or 5 that will do the Amazon but ending in Miami or Rio mostly and mostly longer but check it out on the Oceania website. Late 2016 could work if the dates suit. These are the summer cruises so winter will not be out until fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Knitter Posted March 4, 2015 #10 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I did Miami to Miami on the Regatta in 2008, 24days. Amazing journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillymaps Posted March 20, 2015 #11 Share Posted March 20, 2015 We did the Miami to Miami Amazon cruise about 6 years ago with another couple. We all liked it so much that we repeated it last year. It was good the second time. The only cruise we have repeated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ka Honu Posted March 22, 2015 #12 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Go to the "Find a Cruise" page on the Oceania website and choose the "Show Ports & Special Offers" option. Put in Manaus as a port to visit and you'll see the nine cruises they have available in 2015-16. We were booked on the Amazon cruise this past December which, as already noted, was canceled because of Insignia's engine room fire. We can't make it this year so are now scheduled for November 2016 on Regatta. I hate planning that far ahead but if you want to make sure you're there...

sammiedawg Posted March 22, 2015 #13 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Last year we did Regatta Rio to Miami and it was fabulous. We flew in a few days early to tour Rio, which is a world class city. Our cruise was 21 days. The port expert on board was brilliant, he did fifteen one hour lectures mostly about Brazil. They had another maritime speaker as well.

hondorner Posted March 23, 2015 #14 Share Posted March 23, 2015 The Amazon was our very first Oceania cruise in 2006, Miami to Manaus to Miami, 26 days, on Regatta with Captain Flokos. Our previous longest cruise was 10 days, and I was ready to come home after 8. On the Amazon cruise, I was sad it was over in just 26 days! Oceania has been our favorite cruise line ever since. The Amazon portion of the cruise was worth doing once, especially the stops in Boca del Valeria, Manaus and Parintins, with the Boi Bumba show at the latter stop. The river itself was wide and mostly featureless, except the occasional pink dolphin. Everyone should do it once, but I will not likely repeat it. As for the rest of that cruise, the stop at Devil's Island was definitely a highlight; we'll be stopping there again on our world cruise next year.
