Delfin III offers an exceptional way to experience Peru’s Upper Amazon, sailing the Ucayali and Marañón rivers year-round with elegance and comfort. Purpose-built to blend luxury with authenticity, this 42-guest, all-suite ship showcases the best of Amazonian-Peruvian culture. It features sustainably crafted furnishings, hand-made textiles, and original art sourced from local communities, which are actively supported through guest contributions. With 30 attentive crew—most hailing from the region—and induction into the prestigious Relais & Châteaux group, Delfin III promises a journey that is both immersive and indulgent.
Spread across three decks, the ship features 21 beautifully appointed suites in four categories, including the stunning 597-square-foot Andes Suite with wraparound windows at the bow. Guests can unwind in the panoramic dining room, the open-air sun deck with whirlpool, or the air-conditioned lounge and presentation room. A wellness spa, small gym, and the welcoming open bridge complete the experience. Whether relaxing in the comfort of your suite or taking in the view from a shaded deck chair, life aboard Delfin III is serene, stylish, and deeply connected to the surrounding rainforest.
