Delfin Amazon Cruises, Luxury Expeditions to the Peruvian Amazon

In the heart of the Peruvian Amazon, one of the world’s most remote and untouched ecosystems, luxury river cruising has taken on a new dimension. Delfin Amazon Cruises owns and operates the Delfin I and Delfin II riverboats, both designed to explore the pristine Amazon River and its tributaries. The vessels offer four- and five-day itineraries year-round, combining comfort with immersive access to the rainforest’s extraordinary biodiversity.

The Destination:

The Amazon rainforest accounts for more than half of the planet’s remaining tropical rainforest. The Amazon River, rising in the Peruvian Andes, flows east across northern South America before reaching the Atlantic Ocean. It carries more water than any other river on Earth, surpassing the combined flow of the ten next largest rivers. Recent studies, using Mount Mismi in Arequipa as the river’s source, suggest that the Amazon may be approximately 105 km (65 miles) longer than the Nile.

Pacaya Samiria National Reserve is the largest protected flooded forest in the world and one of the most intact areas of rainforest in the Peruvian Amazon. During the rainy season, water levels rise significantly, flooding up to 85 percent of the reserve and making it accessible primarily by boat.

Delfin I - 8-passenger Luxury Amazon Cruise

The refurbished Delfin I offers an intimate and refined way to explore the Amazon, combining understated elegance with personalized service. The vessel accommodates just eight guests in four spacious suites, ensuring privacy and attentive hospitality.

The décor incorporates artwork created by women from the Puerto Miguel community, supporting local initiatives through the purchase of these pieces.
