A New Nile Riverboat Is Set to Join Abercrombie & Kent’s Fleet

Another new riverboat is on its way, this time from Abercrombie & Kent (A&K). Set to arrive in late 2025, the yet-to-be-named vessel will sail the Nile River and will be the fifth ship in the brand’s fleet, following existing charters of Nile Adventurer, Sun Boat III, Sun Boat IV and Zein Nile Chateau from Sanctuary Retreats (the first three of which were also built by A&K).

The boat will offer 23 private cabins featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, Juliet balconies, marble-clad bathrooms and 400-thread-count Egyptian cotton linens. Advisors can also expect two presidential suites, each featuring a dedicated deck with an outdoor hot tub. A&K has promised that these accommodations will be “some of the most generously proportioned and well-appointed suites on the market."

Additional onboard amenities will include a pair of restaurants (one inside and one outside), locally-sourced cuisine, a spa, a gym, a swimming pool, a sun deck and other social gathering spaces.

And as A&K has been cruising the Nile since 1977 — founder Geoffrey Kent was inspired to start tours after encountering David Niven on the set of “Death on the Nile” — advisors can rest assured that their clients are in good hands with the brand.

“Nobody knows Egypt better than Abercrombie & Kent,” said Cristina Levis, CEO of A&K Travel Group. “We pioneered luxury Nile cruises more than four decades ago, and every year we continue to further elevate this enchanting voyage, with extraordinary experiences at every stage of the journey, accompanied by Egyptologists and storytellers to bring Egypt’s luminous history to life."

A&K considers the new boutique riverboat a basecamp for travelers. It will be staffed by an expert crew, and guests will have unprecedented access to popular sites such as the Pyramids of Giza.

“Much more than just a cruise, the new boat experience will be a privileged doorway into the enduring mysteries and secrets of ancient Egypt,” A&K said in a statement.

The new vessel is already under construction at the Massara Shipyard in Egypt, and it will be available for private charters, in addition to A&K itineraries.
