This comprehensive Connoisseurs
program features the Nile's most intriguing
highlights in A&K style. The best way to ensure
that travelers enjoy the finest cruise
experience on the Nile is to design, build and
sail your own fleet of Nile ships - and that's
just what Abercrombie & Kent has done. Of the
more than 200 cruisers now sailing the Nile,
none surpass, in comfort, service or cuisine, A&K's
own 'Sun Boat IV.'
Born to sail the Nile
We began with a simple idea: to create
spacious, technologically up-to-date and
safety-conscious ships designed expressly for
Nile cruising. No retrofits or renovations in
our fleet: The A&K ships were born to sail the
sunny Nile. 'Sun Boat IV' has large, inviting
lounges lined with windows so you can sightsee
as you relax over a cool drink or a game of
backgammon. On spacious sun decks atop each
cruiser, comfortable lounge chairs surround
plunge pools, perfect for a refreshing dip under
brilliant Egyptian skies.
In touch on holiday
We make the most of modern technology to
help you keep in touch with the world outside
the Nile Valley. A&K's Nile fleet has on-board
Internet access, satellite television
connections, and daily deliveries of
international newspapers.
Relax!
It's our policy to ensure that all travelers
on board a Nile cruise enjoy their stay in peace
and comfort. Mobile phone use is not allowed on
board, and smoking is permitted only in
designated areas of the outer deck. |
