The
Delfin II is a stately riverboat recently built for the express purpose of exploring deep into the Peruvian Amazon at the headwaters of this mighty river - and doing so in modern tropical style.
Cabin Specifications
The Delfin II offers 14 elegant suites—10 standard and 4 master—accommodating up to 28 guests in total. Each suite features modern tropical décor with luxurious accents and individually controlled air-conditioning for comfort.
Bathrooms are equipped with showers stocked with organic toiletries, including shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Guests will also find a hairdryer, bathrobes, moisturizing lotion, a sunscreen and insect repellent combo, and an iron with ironing board—though the ship’s relaxed expedition atmosphere means formal attire isn’t needed.
Features Onboard
At 120 feet in length, the Delfin II is ideally sized for navigating the upper Amazon River. Her open-air third deck offers expansive space for guests to gather and enjoy panoramic views of the rainforest. The interiors are crafted from sustainably harvested Amazonian wood and adorned with local handicrafts created by indigenous ribereños communities.
Guests can enjoy luxurious public areas, attentive hospitality, and exceptional dining—with meals made from locally sourced ingredients, aside from imported olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The dining room accommodates everyone in a single open seating.
For off-ship exploration, travelers can board 10-person skiffs with cushioned seats and ample legroom, or use kayaks for a quieter way to explore smaller tributaries. Each excursion is led by local naturalists skilled at spotting wildlife, providing close encounters with the region’s rare birds and mammals.
