THE VESSEL
Perfect for a relaxed cruise along the Nile, the stylish Sun Boat III exudes all the discreet, elegant ambience of an exclusive club. Smaller than the average Nile cruiser Sun Boat III offers an intimate atmosphere and personalised service. 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.
Enjoy the tranquillity of the cruise thanks to a no smoking policy in all internal areas and no mobile phones in public areas.

Winter (October to April) for cultural trips, although May to September is great for the Red Sea. Ramadan is a particularly exciting time to be in Egypt - it is celebrated here with more exuberance than anywhere else in the world.
