The M/V Delfin II, launched in March 2009, has a total of fourteen suites, including ten large guest suites, four of which are interconnecting to accommodate families, and four master suites with king beds and 180-degree panoramic windows.

The M/V Delfin II is a three-deck, steel-hulled, river boat built in 2009. Due to her very shallow draft (8.25 feet), she provides travelers with a comfortable, yet adventurous, way to visit the remote tributaries of the upper Amazon. Small motor launches take passengers on excursions to remote tributaries and lakes.

The master suites measure 233 square feet, and the suites measure 200 square feet. Six suites have twin beds that can be converted into king beds, and four suites have king beds. All of the suites provide the comfort of world-class accommodations, yet maintain the spirit of casual and refined elegance. Triple rooms are not available for three adults. Rollaway beds can be provided for children under 12 years of age. Children must be at least seven years of age.

The dining room on the upper deck has a total of four highly trained chefs to assure that all menu items are individually prepared. The observation deck, bar, entertainment center, library and special hammock sun deck are perfect gathering places for guests to share the thrill and adventure of an Amazon cruise.

The vessel features artwork by Peru's leading contemporary artists, many of them indigenous, and guests may purchase any work of art that strikes their fancy, and the staff will ship it to their home for them. The boutique also features art and crafts from local, indigenous people, and purchasing their crafts helps to support them and the concept of sustainable eco-tourism.
