Additionally, there are 10 Upper Suites (23 m² or 252 ft²) on the upper deck and 2 Corner Suites (23 m² or 252 ft²) in the front of the ship on the main deck. Finally, there are 9 Suites (22 m² or 236 ft²) on the main deck. All suites include deluxe beds with fine Peruvian linens, organic bath amenities, individual climate control, and a seating area. The Owner and Corner Suites also feature one complimentary 30-minute spa treatment per guest, a stocked minibar, and complimentary laundry (10 pieces per guest). Guests of the Owner's Suites can enjoy a scented bath upon request.

Wall to wall windows in your cabin keeps you visually and atmospherically connected to the surrounding Amazon environment and you may even spot different wildlife from the comfort of your suite. Facilities on the top observation deck include the indoor and outdoor lounges, a sundeck with plunge pool, spa, exercise room, and full bar.

Some of the activities on offer during your stay: trail walks, kayaking, SUP (stand-up-paddling), piranha fishing, canopy walking, pink dolphin observation, night safari, and visits to local communities and an animal rescue center in Iquitos.

The culinary arts have always been a centerpiece of the Delfin Cruise experience and Delfin III is no exception.  You will experience some famed Peruvian cuisine as well as Western favorites prepared by expert culinary staff that have mastered the art of plating with locally sourced ingredients.

• As indoor areas and cabins are air-conditioned throughout, pack a light jacket if you are sensitive to the cold.
• If you are a family of wildlife lovers, this is a real treat for special occasions, keep in mind that the minimum travel age is 7.
• In an aim to help and spread the artwork of the local communities, Delfin River Cruises has incorporated their artwork in the décor for their dining experience as well as throughout the vessel. If you would like to buy something unique and handcrafted in the Amazon, you will get the chance to do so during your visit to a riverine community.
• The Amazon has two marked seasons: the low-water season (June through November) and the high-water season (December through May), yet rainfall can happen throughout the year regardless of month or season. The good news is that it rarely rains for more than an hour or two.
• In many ways, May and early June are the best time to visit the Amazon. During these months, the river levels are still high enough for exploration by boat, but the rainfall usually slows down enough to draw out some of the wildlife you might not otherwise spot.
