Journey into the heart of the Peruvian Amazon aboard the privately chartered National Geographic Delfin II, an intimate river vessel reserved exclusively for Lindblad Expeditions guests. Purpose-built for exploration in the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, this 135-foot ship carries just 28 guests, offering a deeply personal and immersive experience through one of the world’s most biologically rich ecosystems.
The Delfin II features 14 spacious suites, including four Master Suites at the front of the ship with panoramic jungle views. Each suite is elegantly appointed with floor-to-ceiling windows, locally crafted furnishings, and natural wood finishes, blending regional authenticity with modern comfort. En-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, and plush bedding provide a welcome retreat after active days on the river.
As a private charter, the ship offers an elevated level of exclusivity, with customized programming and a close-knit atmosphere. Guests can gather in the open-air observation deck, relax in the lounge and bar, or enjoy gourmet meals in the dining room, where menus are inspired by Amazonian flavors and sourced from local ingredients.
Daily excursions—led by a seasoned team of naturalists, cultural interpreters, and a National Geographic-certified photo instructor—take guests deep into the reserve aboard skiffs and kayaks. Wildlife sightings may include pink river dolphins, sloths, toucans, monkeys, and caimans, while visits to riverside communities offer meaningful cultural connections.
