The Delfin III, the first Relais & Chateaux cruise in the world, is one of the newest luxury vessels cruising Peru's Amazon. On board this 22 all-suite ship, the rainforest is never far away, yet 5-star comforts and conveniences abound on board. Explore one of the wildest and bio-diverse places on earth while enjoying luxury aboard this intimate yet spacious vessel. Spend time relaxing on the open-air sun deck, take a dip in the refreshing plunge pool, or take a cooking class in the indoor lounge. Taste a Pisco sour at the ship's bar or pamper yourself with a spa treatment of Amazon elixirs. It truly is luxury at its finest. Experience famed Peruvian cuisine as well as conventional favorites prepared by an expert culinary staff using locally sourced ingredients. Indulge in exceptional menus featuring roasted meats, grilled fish, savory vegetables, sun-ripened tropical fruits, decadent desserts, and free-flowing wine during dinner. The Delfin III's expert Naturalists guide you to explore the small Amazon tributaries, flooded forests, and jungle villages along the river, and introduce you to the locals who call the Amazon home. Enjoy cultural performances on board, as well as Naturalist presentations about the diverse ecosystem. Off the ship, you'll visit the Lost City of Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, Cusco, and Lima. Please note: For the few rivers not sailed by Avalon Suite Ships®, we carefully select only the best river ships that meet our high standard of excellence in quality, comfort, and amenities.
