Experience the Amazon in elevated exclusivity aboard the privately chartered National Geographic Delfin III, Lindblad Expeditions’ most spacious and elegant river vessel in Peru. Reserved solely for a small group of 42 guests, this 170-foot ship offers a boutique-style journey into the heart of the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve—one of the most pristine and biodiverse regions on the planet.
The Delfin III features 21 outward-facing suites, including expansive Owner’s, Corner, and Upper Suites with floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic river views. Each suite is thoughtfully designed with handcrafted Peruvian accents, luxurious bedding, and modern en-suite bathrooms—offering a tranquil retreat after days spent exploring the rainforest.
Aboard this private charter, guests enjoy an atmosphere of exclusivity and comfort, with refined social spaces that include a beautifully appointed indoor lounge, an open-air sun deck with plunge pool, a spa, and a fitness center. The dining experience is exceptional, with menus highlighting Amazonian flavors and fresh, locally sourced ingredients, served in an elegant dining room with flexible seating.
Daily excursions are led by an expert team of naturalists, cultural specialists, and a National Geographic-certified photo instructor, offering opportunities to spot pink river dolphins, squirrel monkeys, macaws, and sloths, or paddle through narrow jungle waterways by kayak or skiff. Visits to indigenous communities deepen the cultural experience, adding personal connections to the journey.
