Sanctuary Retreats Unveils The Sanctuary Nile Adventurer

The Sanctuary M.S. Nile Adventurer has long regarded as one of Egypt's finest luxury cruise ships with just 32 beautifully appointed cabins, the Sanctuary Nile Adventurer provides the perfect boutique experience from which to explore the Nile while enjoying stunning design, incredible food, private dock facilities and the highest levels of service.

Drawing inspiration from the aeon of the pharaohs, the Sanctuary Nile Adventurer's new design combines modern Egyptian culture with five thousand years of heritage. Experience the luxury and opulence of the past, while still being able to enjoy the technological developments of today.

Throughout the ship, clean lines and a neutral color scheme are offset with splashes of gold, turquoise and terracotta – inspired by Tutankhamun's mask and designed by local designer Shahira H. Fahmy. Egyptian master craftsmen have used the finest local marble, alabaster, wood, papyrus and copper to seamlessly blend contemporary design with traditional craftsmanship.

The extensive sun deck areas have been enhanced with the addition of private cabanas around the pool area. Chilled fruit and drinks are served each afternoon while overlooking the ancient sites between Luxor and Aswan.

The dining room is a blend of rich colors and graceful design, with carefully arranged seating that allows for a feeling of privacy when dining. The bar, an ancient Egyptian-inspired centrepiece, stands directly in front of a window offering a panoramic view of the deck outside. Comfortable cushions, contrasting colors and eclectic modern furniture complete the relaxed mood.

In the cabins, splashes of brighter hues are used sparingly to complement the calm natural tones. New furniture, the latest LCD screens, and of course fresh new Egyptian cotton sheets, have been added to all cabins.

The Sanctuary Nile Adventurer successfully combines elegance with a warm atmosphere that envelopes guests of all ages. Unlike some other luxury vessels on the Nile, children of all ages are welcome on the Sanctuary Nile Adventurer. This combined with the ship's Germanische-Lloyd safety specification – the highest standards of safety for river cruisers worldwide – ensures parents have peace of mind as well as comfort.

The Sanctuary Nile Adventure offers multiple three night and four night departures every month except for July. A complete listing of available dates may be found at www.sanctuaryretreats.com/cruises/egypt
