Delfin II

Location

Sailing along the Marañón and Ucayali Rivers, Delfin II journeys deep into the heart of the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, the largest protected flooded forest on Earth. Guided by expert naturalists, you’ll explore an intricate network of waterways, secluded creeks and rainforest trails in search of monkeys, sloths, pink dolphins and an astonishing variety of birdlife. Encounters with local communities provide valuable insight into life along the Amazon, while visits to the region’s wildlife conservation projects, including the Manatee Rescue Centre, offer a deeper understanding of this remarkable ecosystem.

Accommodation

With just 14 suites, Delfin II combines the intimacy of a small expedition vessel with the comfort of a luxury river cruise. Interiors blend contemporary styling with authentic Amazonian touches, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere throughout. Large panoramic windows ensure the rainforest remains centre stage, filling each suite with natural light and ever-changing views of the river beyond. King-size beds, premium linens and spacious bathrooms provide a relaxing retreat after a day of exploration, while the four Master Suites boast impressive forward-facing views that immerse you even further in the surrounding wilderness.

Dining

As part of the Relais & Châteaux collection, Delfin II offers a culinary experience that celebrates Peru’s world-renowned gastronomy and the rich flavours of the Amazon. Menus showcase fresh, locally sourced ingredients transformed into beautifully presented dishes inspired by regional traditions and international influences. The intimate nature of the vessel allows for highly personalised service, with special dietary requirements catered for wherever possible. Paired with carefully selected wines and attentive hospitality, each meal becomes a memorable part of the journey.

Facilities

Despite its boutique size, Delfin II offers an impressive range of facilities designed to enhance your Amazon experience. The elegant indoor lounge hosts informative presentations from the expert guides, while the observation areas provide excellent vantage points for spotting wildlife as you cruise. There's also a bar, library, gym and spa treatment room for moments of relaxation between excursions. Off the vessel, daily adventures include guided skiff explorations, rainforest walks, kayaking, paddle boarding, piranha fishing, canopy walks and nocturnal wildlife safaris. For many guests, the opportunity to encounter the Amazon’s famous pink dolphins is among the journey’s most unforgettable highlights.
