Aqua Expeditions | Owner, Francesco Galli Zugaro: Luxury in the Amazon, Swimming with Whale Sharks, and Building Beautiful Expedition Ships
Our guest today is Francesco Galli Zugaro, the Founder & CEO of Aqua Expeditions - a truly visionary company that has led the way in melding expedition destinations with luxury. This is not your average cruising company - of Aqua Expeditions 4 vessels, the largest one has only 20 suites.
Whether you find yourself diving with whale sharks in the Spice Islands of Indonesia, kayaking through floating villages in Cambodia, or spotting pink dolphins and macaws in the Peruvian Amazon… you can be sure that after your 9-5 adventure, you’ll be welcomed back aboard with the finest food, drinks, and comfortable beds that you’ll find anywhere in the region.
Francesco and I discuss his camping trip in the Amazon inspired the vision for the company, how he personally picks antiques and decor for each room of each ship, some behind the scenes details, and what he loves about each destination.
