Very often, the best souvenirs are the ones you can't wait to share with friends and family; the keepsakes that are saturated with memories and can sum up an entire trip or voyage on their own. Following this idea, Aqua Expeditions (one of our regular favourites here at Time Spent At Sea when it comes to adventure cruising) and its vessel, the MV Aqua, is now offering guests sophisticated alternatives to the clichéd souvenir.

Committed to providing an authentic wildlife and cultural experience to its guests, Aqua has released a music CD for guests to relive their Amazonian voyage on dry land. The CD is a musical compilation performed by Aqua Expeditions' "house band" - made up of Aqua's crew - and was recorded in Iquitos, Peru, its vessel's home port.

The CD contains a collection of 12 tracks of instrumental and lyrical favorites that include Peruvian classics like "El Condor Pasa," "Besame Mucho" and other internationally known pieces. The album cover boasts artwork by famous Peruvian artist Christian Bendayán and can be purchased onboard in the Aqua's boutique.

In addition to this, Aqua Expeditions' Wildlife Checklist, used during excursions into Pacaya Samiria Reserve, can also be transformed into a stylish keepsake. Listing dozens of mammals, birds, amphibians and reptiles, insects and common plants and trees, the guide keeps track of the many wildlife sightings while exploring the Amazon. It reads like a 'wish list' of the most exotic living things on Earth and includes the elusive Pink Dolphin and the endangered Amazonian Manatee; enough to elicit a little jealousy from even the most seasoned adventurer.
