The world’s leading luxury river cruise in the Upper Peruvian Amazon is thrilled to announce exciting updates for 2025. This April, the Delfin I will return after an extensive three-month renovation, redefining elegance, comfort, and sustainability.
The reimagined Delfin I offers oversized suites with private panoramic terraces, two of which include private whirlpools for a truly indulgent retreat. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring the rainforest directly into your suite, creating an immersive experience. Guests will also enjoy modernized bathrooms, personalized cabin service three times daily, and updated features like an air-conditioned observation deck and observatory balconies.
The top deck has been transformed into a luxurious lounge where guests can sip handcrafted cocktails, relax, and stargaze under some of the clearest skies in the world. These thoughtful enhancements showcase a commitment to providing intimate, elevated experiences in harmony with nature.
Incorporating new solar panels, the Delfin I generates clean energy, reinforcing a dedication to sustainable practices and environmental stewardship. Whether reserved as an individual suite or as a private floating villa, the Delfin I offers a tranquil escape that prioritizes privacy, authenticity, and harmony with the Amazon.
This renovation was a family endeavor, spearheaded by Vicca Verde, an architectural studio founded by Mateo Peschiera, Gonzalo Zegarra, and Horacio Goitre. Working closely with Lissy Urteaga, they ensured every design element honors the Amazon’s natural and cultural heritage.
From Shipibo-inspired geometric patterns on the railings to handwoven ceilings crafted by local artisans using natural fibers, the details celebrate the region’s traditions. The use of sustainable Anacaspi wood further highlights the biodiversity of the Amazon.
“Our family takes immense pride in showcasing the beauty of Peru and the Amazon,” says Lissy Urteaga. “This renovation is a tribute to the region and its incredible communities.”
The Delfin I’s culinary team has curated a flexitarian menu featuring locally sourced, fresh, and exotic ingredients. With plant-based options, the menu aligns with global sustainability initiatives while offering guests a delicious celebration of the Amazon’s biodiversity.
The return of the Delfin I is more than just a renovation—it’s a celebration of family, heritage, and the unparalleled beauty of the Amazon. Each journey offers a unique connection to the rainforest, fostering memories that last a lifetime.
