Zafiro
Location
Amazon River, Peru
This 164-foot-long river cruise ship meticulously harmonizes with its Amazonian surroundings while exuding elegance and style. With three levels, the Zafiro's striking design combines steel and wood and resembles traditional Amazon exploration vessels. Air-conditioned indoor areas include a lounge with a stocked bar and a reading room with plush armchairs and sofas, coffee tables and large windows that flood the area with natural light. An outdoor lounge has a bar and jacuzzi, and the shaded observation deck offers 360-degree views of the natural surroundings and plenty of comfortable lounge chairs and recliners.
Each of the 19 air-conditioned guest suites have panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and comfortable beds with premium pure cotton sheets for cool and comfortable sleeping. En suite bathrooms with showers offer all-natural toiletries. Additional amenities include a sitting area and writing desk, electronic safe and mini fridge.
A contemporary indoor dining room has gleaming hardwood floors and enormous windows. Gourmet meals incorporate fresh, local ingredients and include Amazonian fish seasoned with traditional Peruvian spices, grilled meats, and vegetarian options made with seasonal vegetables and local produce.
Dedicated to environmental conservation, the Zafiro offers guests the opportunity to participate in turtle restoration and forest replanting. In addition, the ship eschews single-use plastics, minimizes waste through recycling and repurposing materials, conserves energy and water use through automatic power shut off and water-saving devices, and uses energy generated from solar power and biomass systems.
