Scenic Cruising

Enjoy every minute of the fascinating scenery as you cruise the majestic Nile on our exclusive private charter on board Sanctuary Sun Boat III. Catering to just 34 guests, every cabin is tastefully appointed and features a window onto the world.

Luxury awaits on board your recently refurbished boutique Nile river cruiser. Modeled on the opulent era of the 20s and 30s, style and refinement are reflected throughout. The spacious cabins are elegantly furnished and oversized picture windows ensure you won’t miss a minute of the passing scenery. All cabins have a mini-bar, safe deposit box and satellite LCD television, along with individually-controlled air-conditioning. Indulge in one of the elegant Presidential Suites situated at the front of the Promenade Deck featuring a separate sitting area. The lavish Royal Suites also boast private balconies from which to witness your magnificent surrounds. Your boutique ship evokes the heyday of Egypt’s past, with exquisite spaces, from the Copper Tray fine-dining restaurant to the Sahara and H. Carter lounges. Relax on the Sun Deck next to the swimming pool or on the lower shaded deck as you watch life on the river pass by. You’ll be treated to first-class dining with beverages included at lunch and dinner. Be entertained by whirling dervishes, and dress the part for a Galabeyya party. Your tailormade cruise itinerary will take you from Luxor to Aswan or reverse, revealing the architectural marvels of the Valley of the Kings and lesser-known sights such as the Temple of Hathor at Dendera. Explore Egypt’s famous monuments with the resident Egyptologist and your Scenic Tour Director to assist throughout your cruise. As you drift languorously past the ancient wonders along the shores of the Nile, there’ll be breathtaking monuments – and moments – around every bend.
