Delfin Amazon Cruises, the first Relais & Châteaux Cruise company in the world and an upscale river cruise operator in the Upper Peruvian Amazon, is offering a special four-night wellness voyage to set sail Sept. 23, onboard Delfin III.

Offering superb local cuisine and an unparalleled dining experience, Delfin III’s culinary team created a menu consisting of mostly plant-based recipes as an alternative to bring awareness to the consequences of eating animal protein while still offering catering of all types to its clients with fresh and exotic ingredients. These offerings align with UNESCO and Relais & Châteaux Association’s joint efforts to prioritize sustainable food systems within the tourism sector.

While onboard, guests can enjoy several amenities from the top observation deck, including spacious indoor and outdoor lounge areas, a sundeck with a plunge pool, a spa and gym, and a bar.

Located on the upper deck, guests will experience 5-star, farm-to-table dining services from Delfin’s local garden, blending Peruvian history with contemporary dishes. In addition to the unique programming of these special departures, guests will experience Delfin’s daily excursions to explore deeper into the Amazon rainforest, led by a talented and experienced team of naturalists and interpretive Amazon River guides.
