Europe: Boasting dozens of languages, half a billion residents, and over 25 countries in an area less than half the size of the United States, there is much to see in this diverse continent.

Amazon: Winding through rivers under a thick rainforest canopy is sure to be an exotic experience that will alter your perception of the natural world. Instead of wildlife observation through binoculars from the fifth story deck of a giant cruise ship, get up-close to the diverse wildlife from the river or rainforest floor. The rivers transport travelers into the heart of the rainforest allowing a more intimate view of the Amazon.
