16Guests
2017Launched
2024Remodeled
Explore the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the Upper Amazon aboard the National Geographic Delfina, a boutique-style riverboat crafted for in-depth exploration and exceptional comfort. With a capacity of just 16 guests, this intimate vessel offers a personalized and immersive journey through Peru’s Pacaya Samiria National Reserve—one of the most biologically diverse regions on Earth.
The Delfina features 8 spacious, outward-facing suites designed with regional flair and modern amenities. Large windows in every cabin ensure constant connection to the surrounding rainforest, while locally inspired décor—woven textiles, wood finishes, and handcrafted details—adds authenticity and warmth. En-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, and plush bedding create a relaxed, comfortable retreat after each day of adventure.
Onboard spaces include an open-air observation deck ideal for wildlife viewing, a comfortable lounge for evening briefings and presentations, and a dining room where guests enjoy gourmet Peruvian cuisine made with fresh, local ingredients. Between excursions, guests can unwind with a drink, chat with fellow travelers, or simply watch the ever-changing scenery of the Amazon pass by.
Expert guides—including naturalists, cultural specialists, and a Lindblad-National Geographic certified photo instructor—lead daily expeditions by skiff, kayak, or on foot. These explorations bring guests up close to sloths, monkeys, macaws, and river dolphins, while also offering meaningful cultural encounters with local communities.
