Intimate luxury river yachts exploring the vast Pacaya-Samiria reserve of the Peruvian Amazon, with floor-to-ceiling jungle views, skiff excursions and naturalist guides deep into the rainforest.
Delfin’s intimate river yachts carry only a handful of guests deep into the Pacaya-Samiria reserve of the Peruvian Amazon, the largest protected flooded forest in the world, with floor-to-ceiling windows onto the jungle.
Days are skiff excursions into the flooded forest with expert naturalists, pink dolphins, monkeys, birds by the hundred, and nights are fine Peruvian dining and the sounds of the rainforest from your suite.
Every experience begins with a single click. Tell us when and with who and we'll design a world around you.
Suites are spacious and contemporary with floor-to-ceiling windows, and some private outdoor tubs, so the flooded forest and the river are always in view.
Held together they suit a family or party; a yacht can be chartered exclusively for a private expedition.
Dining is celebrated Peruvian, Amazonian produce, river fish, tropical fruit, and Peru’s renowned flavours, in an elegant dining room as the forest passes.
The kitchen draws on one of the world’s great cuisines, deep in the jungle.
Each day, skiffs slip off the yacht into the flooded forest with expert naturalists: pink river dolphins, monkeys, sloths, caimans and hundreds of birds, plus fishing for piranha and swimming in the black-water lagoons.
Night excursions reveal the forest after dark; your designer shapes the cruise and the wildlife.
Wellness is the forest and the river, the sun deck, an outdoor tub on some suites, a treatment on request, and the deep quiet of the Amazon.
The rainforest’s rhythm is its own restoration.
Delfin carries expert naturalists, a chef and warm crew for a small number of guests, deeply versed in the reserve and its wildlife.
Behind them sits your Satopia travel designer, who holds the suites or the charter, times the Iquitos link and stays one call away throughout.
Pacaya-Samiria is the largest protected flooded forest on earth, a labyrinth of rivers and lagoons teeming with life, deep in the Peruvian Amazon.
Delfin is the way to explore it in genuine comfort, and to help protect it.
Everything here is to help you picture it. Your travel designer handles the arranging: the flights, the cars, the guides, the tents held for you alone.

The Satopia Advantage™
We hold the relationship with Delfin, so we can hold your suites together on your dates, or charter a whole yacht. From there a single travel designer composes every day around you. You simply embark.
The right suites, or a full charter, matched to your party and the water level. The access a direct booking rarely reaches.
Every day composed by one travel designer: the skiff excursions and the wildlife, the Iquitos link and the embarkation, present when wanted, unseen when not.
Drawn from recent guests.
Reaching the ship involves an airport pick-up and a couple of hours by bus before boarding, so build that into your first day rather than rushing. Once aboard, excursions are scheduled early to catch wildlife at its most active. Pack accordingly and plan for a light adjustment period as the days settle into that rhythm.
Ask your guide to focus time on spotting pink river dolphins, sloths and birdlife along the Marañón, as these small-boat outings consistently prove the most memorable part of the trip. Guides here are notably skilled at finding animals others would miss. Give yourself over to the unstructured moments on the water rather than the onboard comforts alone.
Peru rewards a wider loop. A few we would pair the cruise with, each arranged as one seamless experience.
