In addition, its Spa offers relaxation and peace while you sail the Amazon River and its Gym promises to keep you in shape for your excursions to the jungle.

    The dining room is spacious, with wooden floors, comfortable chairs, and large cinema-style windows for unique views of the Amazon River while having breakfast or lunch. The cuisine offers the best of Peruvian and international cuisine, with modern innovations of flavors and colors in its dishes. The ingredients used are of the highest quality and come from the same Ammonia area.

    Rooms

    In the same way, the Delfin II has 14 beautiful suites distributed in the low and middle decks. 4 of them are Master Suites with wide panoramic windows and the rest are 10 suites equally wide that can be interconnected to accommodate families or groups of friends. All of them have large windows and are decorated with lacquered wood. This transmits elegance and comfort to all its occupants. Know more below.

    These wide suites offer calm, comfort, and sophistication during your sail over the Amazon River. Each Master Suite has a king-size bed with fine Peruvian cotton bedding, large windows that allow 180° panoramic views of the Amazon River and its coasts, a hair dryer, a large mirror on the dressing table, and small work tables. In addition, the suite has custom climate control and a safe deposit box. Maid service is daily, and nightly turn-down service.

    The Cuisine

    The cuisine of Delfin II is a recognition of the great variety of Peruvian gastronomy, especially in those dishes prepared with Amazon ingredients.

    Therefore, the dishes that you will be able to enjoy onboard Delfin II will be a party of unique flavors and colors. But don’t worry, you will also find international options. The chefs at Delfin II have many years of experience and cook with a true selection of the best ingredients from the jungle and the Peruvian Amazon.

    Experiences

    About 20% of the world’s 1,500 bird species are found in Peru, with the Amazon hosting a large population of these species. For this reason, a mandatory component of Delfin II’s activities is birdwatching with a knowledgeable local guide who has years of experience identifying birds in the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. Since the birds are more active around dawn, the experience is naturally created during this period.
