Aqua Expeditions has partnered with ocean conservationist Jean-Michel
Cousteau on a series of river cruises on the Amazon and Mekong.
Cousteau, who founded the Ocean Futures Society in 1999 to
carry on his father Jacques Cousteau's work and legacy, will host five
seven-night cruises in 2017 and 2018 on Aqua Expeditions' 32-passenger Aria
Amazon and 40-passegner Aqua Mekong.

Guests will learn about Cousteau's explorations and about
the environmental causes he champions. Each river cruise will include evening
talks with Cousteau and screenings of several of his films.
Prices start at $11,150, based on double occupancy. Each
departure is available for individual travelers or as a buyout for full
charters.
Aqua Expeditions was founded 10 years ago and currently
consists of a fleet of two luxury vessels -- the 16-suite Aria Amazon, which
entered service in 2011, and the 20-suite Aqua Mekong, which launched in
October 2014.
