Delfin III

Explore in tropical style on this elegant 42-guest, all-suite river ship

Overview

With just 21 suites in four categories, all with floor-to-ceiling windows, Delfin III sails the Ucayali and Marañón rivers to the confluence of the mighty Amazon in Peru’s Upper Amazon year-round with style. Locally built and carrying 30 marvelous crew, most from the region, this elegant ship was inducted into the Relais & Châteaux group, recognizing its commitment to local nature and culture, and its exquisite Amazonian-Peruvian cuisine. 

The observation deck, with an open-air Whirlpool hot tub at the stern, has a large lounge and bar accommodating all guests for recaps, presentations, and to take in the passing scenery. Everyone gathers with open, relaxed seating for meals aboard in the spacious dining room. The ship is sustainably furnished featuring hand-made furniture and art and textiles from the surrounding communities that are supported by our guests.   

Choose from four categories of large suites aboard: the singular Andes Suite, measuring 597 square feet, with 180-degree windows at the bow to take in the surroundings; two corner Amazon Suites; 10 Upper Suites; and 8 Suites, with en suite facilities, comfortable chair and desk.
