About Sanctuary MS Nile Adventurer

What better way to see the long-told-of sights and scenery along the Nile than by riverboat? No, we can't think of one! Across its three storeys, the Sanctuary provides well-appointed sun decks to do your ogling whilst catching some rays, or enjoying an afternoon tea on the way to your next historic stop. Once you leave the comfort of the air-conditioned cabins, you'll be led from ancient temples to larger-than-life statues by the in-house Egyptologist. Choose between the four-night cruise from Luxor to Aswan (or vice versa) or the eight-night round trip. Blending modern Egypt with millenia of tradition, the decor is plush and stylish.

What you'll love

Waking up to spectacular vistas that change every morning, signalling a new day of discovery.

Insiders tip

There are a couple of special evenings including the 'Egyptian Night' where you'll dress in traditional galabeyas, and the farewell dinner, which is a white-glove gala, finished with a traditional Dervish performance.

Something to think about

You'll see a few extras on the eight-night cruise, but it's more about added leisure.

The property

There are two spacious sun decks, with a small but lovely pool, plenty of loungers, and airy, linen cabanas. Next door is the alfresco bar area for evening cocktails under the stars. There is also a bright lounge decorated in shades of blue, spangly mirrors and cream rugs, where you can enjoy a little down time, or a book from the library. Dinner is prepared by Sanctuary's award-winning chefs, accompanied by Egyptian wines and local beer. You could even learn a few tricks of the trade with a cooking lesson.

The rooms

Styled in the Sanctuary's quintessential blue, there are 32 cabins and suites with textiles and furnishings that blend East and West. Each room has a view of the Nile as you glide across the water, and the bathrooms are well-appointed and neat. The suites have a large sitting area dotted with ornate, gold lamps and the Presidential Suites feature a private balcony and king-sized bed suspended on a platform with delicate (but sturdy!) cables. Other amenities include a mini bar and TV.

Activities

Departing from Aswan or Luxor, you'll sail the River Nile, stopping for day trips to see some of Egypt's most famous and incredible sights. You'll visit the Valley of the Kings, where Tutankhamun tomb was discovered, and see the stoic Colossi of Memnon, which are said to sing at dawn. Disembark at islands along the way and visit the Philae Temple, Lord Kitchener's impressive botanical gardens, and the Agha Khan Mausoleum. Egypt is the world's oldest tourist destination and seeing it up-close from the deck of the Sanctuary is unforgettable.
