Sailing snapshot
This 4-night river sailing is part of a 12-night program with land stays. The complete program runs from Lima, Peru to Cusco, Peru and lists 12 distinct stops. The vessel segment runs from Nauta, Peru to Nauta, Peru. It is a full-ship LGBTQ+ charter, so the community program takes over the vessel.
Trip overview
You can combine four nights aboard Delfin III with Lima, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and Cusco on Brand g’s May 7–19, 2028 program. Plan the whole journey. The twelve-night package includes land travel; the vessel portion runs May 9–13 with boarding and disembarkation at Nauta’s private Delfin port after the Iquitos airport transfer. River days combine guided skiff outings and a published jungle-trail visit, rather than a string of independently usable town calls. Each departure has its own suite inventory. Owners Suites are waitlisted and Corner Suites limited at source review; port charges and prepaid gratuities are additional to the displayed double-occupancy fares. Confirm final hotels, transfers, solo terms, activity demands and dietary arrangements directly. Your suitcase should know about the land portion before it develops a permanent attachment to the sun deck.
