Choose between a Royal Suite with bathtub and balcony, a Presidential Suite with a bathtub and 14 Luxury Cabins on either the Nile or the Promenade Decks.

An A&K Nile voyage is the ultimate Nile experience, with private docks in Luxor and Aswan, exceptional food, service and attention to detail on board (everything prepared in the kitchen is done so with mineral water) while the country's ancient sites and legends are brought to life by Egyptologists of the highest calibre.
