About the Tucano
The expeditionary cruise vessel Tucano is over 80 feet long. There is plenty of space to spread out, study the forest nearby, and contemplate the wonders of nature. The Salon of the Tucano is at the forward part of the vessel and is surrounded by a broad balcony. Thoroughly paneled and lighted by brass lamps, this room serves as our vessel library and dining room. It is a good place to observe the forest, read or relax. From this large space, filled with windows and situated at the front of the boat, you can see the fantastic forest around us.
The top deck is open and has a large sun canopy --a wonderful place to spot wildlife or soak in the vastness of the Amazon. There is also space to catch some sun and watch the Macaw parrots screeching across the afternoon sky. The middle deck has a wide balcony around the entire front of the boat for passengers to observe the forest.
There are 76 large windows on Tucano and all of them open and close. There are large insect screens, though generally there are very few mosquitos on our voyage. The decks in the cabins and living room are a deep brown natural finished wood that is kept highly polished.
All the cabins and the Salon are air-conditioned. Every cabin has its own thermostat and individual controls. Each cabin also has a private bath with shower, toilet, and a sink. There is both a 110 volt and a 12 volt electrical system throughout the boat and a reading light above every bed. All of the walls in the cabins have solid wood raised paneling, varnished and absolutely superb.
Our meals are not gourmet, but wholesome, filling and delicious. We also serve many types of Amazon fruits. Our cooks rise before dawn to make a large breakfast and there is always a tantalizing scent coming out of the galley.
