Delfin I Suite

Aboard the Amazon’s top luxury Amazon cruises, enjoy high quality service and guided tours to see colorful tropical birds, flowers and numerous Amazon Rainforest monkeys. Explore the waterways with your highly trained naturalist guide, who will point out waterbirds, giant Amazon lilies and river dolphins. After your excursions, you return to your vessel to enjoy gourmet cuisine and luxurious comfort while discussing your finds and experiences.

Here we will focus on one of the best locations for an Amazon Cruise: the city of Iquitos in northern Peru. This is the largest city in the world not reachable by road and is located on a tributary of the Amazon River called the Itaya river. This western section of Amazon Rainforest has been found to contain the most abundant and diverse animals and plants, making it an ideal place to surround yourself with nature, escaping the stresses and routine of a busy life.

From Iquitos, you can choose from luxury cruises into the diverse Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, home to a fantastic assortment of the Amazon Rainforest’s animals and plants. Here you can find enigmatic toucans, pink dolphins, macaw parrots, curious sloths, and rarely sighted Jaguar.

The Delfin I Luxury Cruise

Let’s first go over the cruise in the leading photograph, the Luxury Delfin I. This cruise is potentially the epitome of personal and exclusive luxury as with only four spacious suites (two with your own private refreshing whirlpool), space aboard this floating boutique luxury hotel is at a premium.

Providing world-class hospitality and comfort as your Amazon base, enjoy panoramic terraces and floor-to-ceiling windows to watch pristine rainforest pass your room. Cabin service is provided 3-times each day to make sure you have everything to keep you comfortable.

The Deluxe Master Suites (the ones with the whirlpool) measure 360 square feet, have walls of panoramic windows, and king size bed (or separate twin beds). The Master Suites are located on the Delfin I’s second deck and feature all the same amenities, but simply lack the private whirlpool.

The observation deck is one of the Delfin I’s signatures. Here you will find a casual and elegant setting with luxury and comfort in the form of large soft sofas to enjoy a breathtaking amazon landscape. This also makes an excellent place to enjoy star gazing in one of the world’s best places to see the constellations.

Providing a luxurious base as the main vessel, in addition to all this comfort and fine dining you also have excellent guided excursions into the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. These tours take the form of small-boat skiffs to explore the waterways, guided forest walks to spot monkeys and other wildlife, and kayaking excursions for a more silent way of seeing the animals of the Amazon Rainforest.
