Delfin I

Location

Deep in the Upper Peruvian Amazon, Delfin’s three and four-night voyages explore the extraordinary Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, the largest protected flooded forest on Earth. Here, vast waterways wind through more than five million acres of pristine rainforest, creating one of the most biodiverse environments on the planet. Travelling by skiff and riverboat, you’ll venture into hidden creeks and remote tributaries in search of colourful birdlife, monkeys, sloths and the Amazon’s famous pink dolphins. Encounters with local communities and expert naturalist guides provide an authentic insight into both the region’s rich wildlife and cultural heritage.

Accommodation

With just four oversized suites, Delfin I offers one of the most exclusive cruise experiences in the Amazon. Recently relaunched, the vessel combines intimate luxury with a deep sense of place, featuring sustainably sourced materials, local craftsmanship and elegant contemporary styling throughout. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame ever-changing jungle vistas, while private terraces bring you even closer to the sights and sounds of the rainforest. Spacious living areas, indulgent beds dressed in fine linens and attentive personal service ensure exceptional comfort as you journey through this remarkable wilderness.

Dining

As the world’s first Relais & Châteaux cruise company, Delfin delivers a dining experience that celebrates both Peru’s renowned culinary traditions and the flavours of the Amazon. Menus showcase fresh regional ingredients transformed into beautifully presented dishes inspired by local culture and international influences. With such a small number of guests on board, service is wonderfully personal, allowing the team to tailor meals around individual preferences wherever possible. Enjoy gourmet cuisine paired with carefully selected wines while taking in panoramic views of the river beyond.

Facilities

With two or three optional excursions available each day, you can tailor your Amazon adventure to suit your interests. Early morning wildlife spotting, guided skiff explorations and rainforest walks reveal the reserve’s extraordinary biodiversity, while opportunities to encounter pink dolphins and discover hidden waterways add a sense of genuine exploration. Back on board, the open-air observation areas provide the perfect place to relax between excursions, whether enjoying a drink at the bar, browsing the library, attending insightful presentations from the expert guides or simply watching the rainforest drift silently by.
