The Pacaya Samiria National Reserve &the Peruvian Amazon ExperienceI. If you find yourself in the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, you’re doing something right. The blooming soul of the northern Amazon Rainforest is among the most protected biodiversity swaths remaining today in the region, and no other destinations in Peru offer the kind of unbarred access to some of Earth’s most elusive creatures and plants.

Just imagine going on a morning boat ride skirting the edges of the river in search of cackling macaws and tree sloths slowly waking up to begin their days, then returning to your vessel with a chilled local fruit juice waiting for you. Or, how about swimming in a mirror-like lagoon that is so calm that it seems preface to a storm, yet instead, you’re greeted by rare pink river dolphins jumping up to say “hello,” then your guide offers you a warm towel after your dip? Finally, what better way is there to close out your evening fishing for red-bellied piranhas during a fiery sunset than with a 3-course, individually-crafted gourmet meal made of ingredients sourced from the natural backyard that surrounds you?

These and much more are the kinds of details that have been anticipated by the exceptional crew of the Delfin lll, whose operations have been painstakingly considered to cater to even the most discerning and seasoned explorers who seek styled, boutique experiences along with authenticity and charm.

The Delfin lll thrive in splendid harmony with nature and its spectacular surroundings. By any standards, our guests appreciate the “non-cruise” atmosphere and the sense that you are on board to explore one of the world’s most intriguing and authentic environments. The true detail that set Delfin apart from others is its dedication to collaborating the rich rainforest ecosystem with its own identity, which permeate through every aspect of the vessels and operations.

Collected irapay leaves (typically seen on residential huts) form the boats’ waterproof roofs, lamps made from spare paiche fish scales highlight common areas, quality woods from the forest form the very boat and Suites, and custom-made repellants and lotions made of natural jungle ingredients serve every guest. When lazy afternoons roll around or if you want to gaze at the millions of southern stars set against the blackest of skies, venture to the top deck where soothing lounge space and a bar will lull you into pure relaxation.

Delfin I effortlessly combines comfort and grace to create the most unique cruise to ever sail in the Peruvian Amazon region. In a setting of understated elegance and exceptional hospitality, it features 4 oversized suites, all with private panoramic terraces, 2 of which offer a private whirlpool.

Delfin III is the newest and also the largest cruise in our fleet, with 22 suites with capacity for up to 43 passengers. Beautifully finished with the finest details and handmade Peruvian artifacts, guests are treated to an immersive rainforest experience along with the highest levels of comfort.
