A typical Amazonian river boat with all the comforts of a luxury ship, the Amazon Clipper Premium departs from the Tropical Manaus pier. There are 16 cabins with 2 beds, air-conditioning and private bath with warm shower. Facilities on board include a restaurant, entertainment deck, lecture room, two whirlpools, bar, gift shop and a large covered outdoor, panoramic sightseeing sundeck with 360˚ views. The Amazon Clipper Premium is an upper scale Amazon riverboat built on traditional lines. These kinds of boats were designed exclusively for cruising the Amazon river and its tributaries, based on years of experience of other tour boats such as Amazon Clipper and Selly. A shallow draught allows navigation to locations inaccessible to many other boats. Outboard powered canoes that are towed by the clippers are used for exploratory trips in lagoons, narrow channels, creeks and flooded forest. The Clipper is fitted with VHF Marine Band Radio communication; navigation aided by depth -sounder, certified compass and satellite-based maps.
