Zafiro Amazon Cruise, Peru
Zafiro is recent addition to Peru's luxury Amazon cruise portfolio.
19 delightful cabins with space for 39 passengers.
Overview
The M/V Zafiro - meaning 'sapphire' in English - is a state-of-the-art Amazon River vessel, constructed in 2015.
The M/V Zafiro lounge, with floor-to ceiling windows.
With the same owners as the M/V Amatista and La Perla, passengers can expect the same highly-trained expert guides, hospitality and attention to detail on board, with the only difference being her stylish design and modern facilities.
Her 19 spacious suites feature all mod-cons, with air-conditioning, en-suite bathrooms, and magnificent views out of floor-to-ceiling windows; and for those on the Upper Deck, their private balconies too.
M/V Zafiro’s jacuzzi on sun deck.
The boat itself has some remarkable standout features, almost too many to name, but include a fully-accessible suite for those with mobility issues, both exercise and massage rooms, and an outdoor Jacuzzi on the Observation Deck, itself equipped with sun loungers and a bar.
Four of the Lower Deck Suites also interconnect, and the remarkable Zafiro Suite has a 180º panoramic view, a large front-facing balcony and a sofa bed suitable for children younger than 12, making the cruise ideal for families.
The Zafiro operates fixed four, five and eight-day departures to the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve - an area unrivaled for wildlife - allowing you to explore deep into the heart of the rainforest.
NB. The 8-day departures are a combination of the 5-day and 4-day itineraries, in that order.

“We need to know what would be appropriate to tip the Zafiro crew per person. They are great so we want to do what is fair!”
“The ship was absolutely stunning! As was our beautiful guestroom, comfortable beds and the most fabulous large windows for an amazing view.
The guides were 2nd to none they couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly.
... I could have stayed on the ship a lot longer it was so luxurious.
The food was very authentic Peruvian.

“The upgrade from La Perla was obviously amazing.
We saw lots of wildlife ... and our naturalist guides were all outstanding.”
“The tour was very enjoyable since opportunities to view wildlife were abundant. Specifically, the pink dolphins, the caimans, the snakes, frogs and many birds ...
... The boat accommodations were luxurious with delicious meals.
We felt safe at all times and the boat operators were very professional.
We also enjoyed the talk with the local shaman.
Thanks for helping us arrange it all.
