This summers, let deviate from the vast expanse of the seas and explore the beauty of rivers. Instead of booking up on the luxurious cruises sailing on the waves, check out the SS Misr, a luxury Nile steamer that sashays down the river elegantly. You can live the luxury, amenities and style of days gone by aboard this steamship. Originally constructed in Preston by the Royal Navy in 1918, the steamer was purchased and later converted into a luxury Nile steamer for King Farouk. It has been rescued and fully restored as a 5 star deluxe propeller steamer; each royal sailing is limited to 45 guests traveling on the “most luxurious steam ship on the Nile” some 63 meters long, providing spacious accommodation with 24 cabins and suites. 16 staterooms and 8 suites to be precise. The highlight is the positioning of the lounge and restaurant on the upper and middle decks rather than on the usual lower deck placement thus enhancing one’s perspective while cruising. The spacious, fully air-conditioned environment, exquisitely decorated public rooms and a crew of 63 provide high level of service.

Aboard there is a large, luxurious bar and lounge where you can enjoy a variety of entertainment programs and folkloric shows in the evening.
The name of that Nile Steamer ship “Misr” is the Arabic for Egypt and the interior decor reflects the style of the period with each cabin having its own individual style. So friends, you can now cruise as kings, queens, ambassadors once did, in uber authenticity!
