• The best way to deliver the finest possible Nile cruise experience is to design, build and sail your own fleet of Nile ships — and that’s just what Abercrombie & Kent has done. ‘Sun Boat IV,’ like its sister ship ‘Sun Boat III,’ offers the finest comfort, service, style and cuisine on the Nile today, making for a voyage truly worthy of the Pharaohs.
• One of the key decorative styles of the early 20th century, Art Deco arose just as the West’s fascination with Egypt reached its peak, and its signature motifs included numerous borrowings from ancient Egyptian design. It is particularly appropriate, then, that guests boarding ‘Sun Boat IV’ are greeted with a stunning Art Deco interior, conceived by A&K Vice Chairman Jorie Butler Kent and supervised by Egyptian designer Mohammed Naoman. Panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows grant sweeping views of the Nile shore. Teak flooring graces all of the outdoor areas, while the Sun Deck features additional accents in Egyptian marble. Modern comforts mingle easily with vintage decoration: all cabins are air-conditioned and feature flat-screen televisions and satellite telephones.
• In addition to its top-notch interior, ‘Sun Boat IV’ offers A&K’s customary unsurpassed service and exquisite dining opportunities. This combination of comfort and service led Condé Nast Traveler to name ‘Sun Boat IV’ the top small cruise ship in 2009.
• A&K offers private Nile docking at both Luxor and Aswan, making embarkation a breeze. Other Nile cruise operators rely on public docking facilities, which means crossing as many as five vessels to go between ship and shore.
• Sun Boat IV’s Art Deco dining room is the perfect venue to enjoy a well-prepared and presented meal. Choose from local delicacies or familiar Western fare, along with an array of pastries, fruit and grains.
• Sun Boat IV exercises a non-smoking policy in all internal areas of the boat and a “no mobile phone” policy in all internal public areas for guaranteed relaxation. Stayin touch with home through an on-board Internet connection. For added peace of mind, our fleet physician is on call throughout your cruise.
