Nov 1, 2008 Just returned from a fabulous trip to South America, the highlight of which was a four-day Amazon River cruise aboard the Delfin. It's photos don't do it justice; the exterior may look a little rustic, and it does have a comfortable and homey feel, but this was definitely a first class experience all the way. This ship has seven cabins and holds fourteen passengers. Meals were gourmet delights thanks to the young and talented chef, with menus based primarily on local fish, exotic fresh fruits, and unfamiliar vegetables. Table settings and presentations were so beautiful that all meals were photographed before being eaten! Twice daily excusions were conducted by very knowledgable and experienced naturalist guides. Excursions were primarily conducted via skiff, and included wildlife and bird sightings, hikes, tours of local villages, swimming, fishing, etc. Some of the best time was spent just floating down the river, cool drink in hand, and watching the local Amazon scenery pass by. There are spectacular cloud formations, sunrises and sunsets, and the odd thunder storm. People we passed and waved at along the river banks seemed just as interested in looking at us as we were in looking at them! This is definitely an experience I hope to repeat before too long! One caution: this vessel would present problems for anyone with mobility issues. The three decks are connected only by very steep and narrow stairs.
