Named a National Geographic Journey of a Lifetime and operated by Abercrombie & Kent — one of the world's founding names in luxury expedition travel — the Sanctuary Nile Adventurer is the most intimate 5-star riverboat on the Nile. With just 30 cabins and suites and a maximum of 60 guests, every voyage is led by an expert A&K Egyptologist guide who accompanies guests on twice-daily excursions to the most significant ancient sites in Upper Egypt. Every bathroom — including in the 14–17m² Standard Cabins — is fitted with both a full-size bathtub and a separate shower. The two Presidential Suites at 43m² add a private balcony and wraparound Nile views. On board: a heated pool with sun deck cabanas, Sanctuary Spa (full massage and treatment menu), gym, bar and lounge, and both indoor and open-air dining — all meals included. Every booking supports A&K Philanthropy initiatives in Egypt. Rates are available on request — contact us and we respond within 24 hours with availability and personalised pricing for your dates.

The Sanctuary Sun Boat IV is an established icon of the Nile — a 72-metre, four-deck ship with a distinctly Art Deco character, launched in 1996 and fully refitted in 2018. With 40 cabins across four categories (36 Standard at 15–18m², 2 Presidential Suites at 38m² with a shared step-out balcony, and 2 Royal Suites at 55m² with private balconies), private docking at both Luxor and Aswan, a turquoise-tiled heated pool, award-winning à la carte restaurant, gym, massage room and full room service, this is the largest and most facility-rich ship in the A&K Sanctuary Nile fleet. All standard cabins have floor-to-ceiling windows (except the Nile Deck, which has half-height portholes), en-suite shower bathrooms, king or twin beds and L'Occitane amenities. Rates are on request — contact us and we respond within 24 hours with availability and pricing for your dates.

Launching in October 2026, the Sanctuary Nile Seray is Abercrombie & Kent's most ambitious Nile project to date — and the most compelling new argument for luxury Nile cruising since the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum. Its name means "palace" in Turkish, and the ship earns it: 32 suites for a maximum of 64 guests, entry suites at 33m² with Juliet balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows, and two top suites at 66m² with full private balconies and outdoor spa pools. What makes Nile Seray genuinely different from every other ship on the Nile — at any price — is what is included as standard on every voyage: private access to the tombs of Seti I, Ramses VI, King Tutankhamun, and Amenhotep III on the West Bank. These are the most restricted and coveted archaeological sites in Egypt. No other Nile cruise ship offers this access as an included standard feature. Two restaurants (one indoor, one open-air), a top-deck pool with canopied daybeds, a spa with two treatment rooms, a full gym, and A&K's expert Egyptologists on every excursion complete the picture. All meals, all excursions and all entrance fees are included. From $3,125 per person for a four-night voyage. Enquire for availability and personalised pricing.

Repeatedly voted one of the Top 100 Most Beautiful Boats in the World by Condé Nast readers, the Sanctuary Sun Boat III is the most intimate ship in the A&K Sanctuary fleet — and possibly the most beautifully designed Nile cruise vessel in existence. With just 18 cabins and a maximum of approximately 36 guests, it operates on the 1920s and 30s golden age of Nile travel: four-poster beds draped with Egyptian linens, white and ecru tones, shuttered windows and a timeless elegance that feels genuinely different from every modern ship on the river. The standard cabins (17m²) have both a bathtub and a shower, floor-to-ceiling windows, mini bar and satellite TV. The 2 Presidential Suites (29m²) add a private step-out balcony. Unlike every other ship in the A&K fleet, Sun Boat III operates exclusively on 7-night and 10-night itineraries — not the standard 3-night or 4-night cruise. This is the definitive choice for guests who want to experience the Nile more slowly and thoroughly. Rates are on request — contact us and we respond within 24 hours.
