The Delfin III operates year-round, and every voyage is uniquely appealing, based on the changing seasons. During the wetter season from December to May, the river and estuaries grow, allowing launch boats to venture deeper into the flooded forest. During the 'drier' season from June to November, the river recedes and beautiful sandy river beaches form. In a typical year, the Amazon experiences 200 rainy days, which means that there will be days of heavy rain even in the Amazon’s low water season.
Insider's View
Be sure to have some Sols with you - you'll stop at a local village where you can buy handcrafts from the local villagers for a memorable keepsake.
To start planning your holiday to Delfin III
Description
Cruise along the mighty Amazon River on board the luxurious Delfin III, a modern and elegant vessel which boasts 21 cabins and has all the amenities of a hotel, whilst allowing you to explore untouched corners of Peru's Amazon Rainforest in total comfort.
The recently refurbished Delfin III is the newest addition to the Delfin fleet of Amazon cruise ships, which offers an exclusive fully-inclusive cruising experience within the Pacaya Samiria Reserve, right in the depths of Peru's northern Amazon territory. A cruise is the most comfortable way to explore the Amazon Rainforest and allows you to reach some truly off the beaten path areas which cannot be reached by road!
Boasting all the amenities of a luxury hotel, guests on board can expect to find plenty of lounge space to unwind, a sun deck with Jacuzzi, a well-stocked bar, a small gym and a spa for those who need a touch of pampering in between excursions out on the water or in the forest canopy. There are 21 cabins which all boast large picture windows, inviting plenty of light and maximising views of the water, the rainforest and the wildlife beyond.
A trip on board includes daily excursions in the morning and afternoon, as well as allowing plenty of time to relax on board. Activities include trail walking, boat trips, fishing and canopy walks, all the while keeping your eyes peeled for the resident wildlife. Look out for sloths, squirrel monkeys and an abundance of birdlife as you explore the pristine Pacaya Samiria Reserve and its peaceful Amazon tributaries, where the only sound is that of the nature surrounding you!

Reviews
Danielle Diaz-Myers (Staff)
Enjoying the incredible Amazon in comfort has never been easier; for those looking for the ultimate in luxury, consider a few days on the Delfin. With multiple itineraries to choose from, you're sure to find one that fits your preferences. An Amazon cruise is the perfect alternative to a lodge because you're able to explore more of the reserve while getting to cruise the waters in comfort. Enjoy daily skiff rides to explore small rivers, there's even a jungle walk that lets you get up close and personal to wildlife including anacondas and poisonous frogs with the assistance of your guide.
