What’s the best Nile cruise?

If you’re looking for a traditional cruise experience, Sanctuary Retreats’ Sun Boat IV is one of the most luxurious on the Nile, offering beautifully appointed staterooms and knowledgeable guides. We have also greatly enjoyed itineraries aboard Oberoi’s Zahra and its newer Philae. But for a more exclusive and customized experience, contact the Andrew Harper Travel Office to book one of the sumptuous private yachts available for charter. That’s the way to feel like a pharaoh!
