Cruise Ships in Peru : Delfin I

The Delfin I is a classic Amazon riverboat purpose-built for cruising some of the great river’s quieter, wildlife-rich tributaries in northern Peru. Carrying only eight passengers, this vessel offers not only intimacy but also excellent facilities. Suites come with either a private sun deck or a private cool-water plunge pool, and all suites have floor-to-ceiling windows and a minibar.

On the vessel’s top deck you’ll find an open terrace and a lounge with sofas. Ceiling fans help keep you cool. There’s also an Amazon wildlife reference library, a flat-screen TV with DVDs, and a bar. There’s a variety of activities included in your river cruise, from kayaking and paddleboarding to guided rainforest walks, birdwatching, and nocturnal safaris.

Delfin I plies the waters of the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve, one of the best-preserved parts of the Peruvian Amazon, where it’s possible to spot everything from sloths to pink river dolphins.

Cabins

There are four cabins consisting of two cabin types. Master Suites come furnished with a private terrace and are located on the upper (second) deck. Deluxe Master Suites are located on the main deck, are a bit more spacious, and come with private cool-water pools on a private terrace.
