A visit to the Amazon is a life-changing experience for just about everyone lucky enough to visit, and just witnessing the immensity of the rainforest and exploring myriad rivers, creeks and trails is enough to make naturalists weak at the knees. Then, add in exciting wildlife encounters and extraordinary cultural interactions and you've got something really special. The Delfin II, the first Relais & Chateaux ship in the Amazon, offers the chance to explore this rugged and remote region in lavish yet casual surroundings with a seamless combination of first-class facilities and service, and unforgettable excursions led by local guides.

There are 14 suites aboard the Delfín II, all boasting exceptional vistas of the Amazon as you float. All come complete with King-sized beds and a small seating area, and in the bathroom, there are cotton towels and bathrobes and organic amenities. Choose one of the four master suites, located at the front of the vessel, for the ultimate, 180-degree views of the lush surroundings. Imagine waking up to that every morning...
The silence and stillness of being surrounded by remote wilderness, cruising at a tranquil pace of 9 knots, and just taking it all in...
To best enjoy the skiff explorations, bring your own pair of binoculars, as you’ll get a better look at the wildlife higher up in the canopy. A camera with a decent zoom is also worth thinking about.
The Delfín II only offers three or four-night stays with set itineraries for high-water or low-water season, which may be too short for some.
Delfin II can be booked with Timbuktu as part of a tailor-made Peru trip, rather than as a standalone room reservation. Start online, customising one of our recommended Peru trips featuring Delfin II or get advice and suggestions from one of our Peru specialists who will design the trip around your dates, check availability and handle every booking for you.
Stays at Delfin II start from around $1.3K, or US$1.3K, per person per night as part of a tailor-made trip. The exact price depends on your travel dates, room type and the shape of the rest of your itinerary. A Timbuktu travel specialist can give you an accurate quote for your dates.
