Well, the Delfin III offers these and more amenities that we detail below.

    Rooms

    The Delfin III is the largest cruise ship in the Delfin line, with 22 luxurious cabins. There are 9 suites with floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows on the first deck, as well as 2 enormous corner suites overlooking the front of the ship. The second deck contains ten exceptional suites, the largest of which is the owner’s suite. Know them better below!

    The Owner’s Suite is located on the second deck of the cruise ship, on the ship’s side, and is the most spacious of all. It has a comfortable king-size bed with Peruvian cotton bedding, personalized climate control, a safe, nightstands with reading lights, and a stocked mini bar. Its private bathroom is complete with a large mirror on the vanity, organic toiletries, and a hairdryer.

    Its large floor-to-ceiling windows are 180 degrees and allow a privileged view of the Amazon River. In addition, its occupants have a 30-minute upgrade to massages at the spa and complimentary laundry.

    The Cuisine

    Delfin III’s cuisine reflects the enormous variety of Peruvian gastronomy, particularly in dishes cooked using Amazon products. 

    As a result, the foods available onboard Delfin III will be a celebration of distinct flavors and hues. But rest assured, there are also international possibilities. Delfin III’s chefs have many years of experience and use only the best ingredients from the local zone and the Peruvian Amazon.

    Experiences

    Treks in the lush jungle are typically conducted very early in the morning or during dawn due to the quantity and heightened activity of wildlife during these hours. The best of the deep jungle can also be viewed on Fundo Casual treks. In addition, a native assistant from the area will accompany us on multiple expeditions so that we may have a better understanding of various frogs, insects, and snakes, among other fantastic animals. The best aspect is that it’s a relaxing activity, and the boat will provide you with rain ponchos and rubber boots in case the jungle rains suddenly.
