EGYPT SUN BOAT III LUXURIOUS CABINS LOUNGE NILE ADVENTURE A silent witness to the changes of many millennia, the magnificent Nile has seen the ebb and flow of civilisations, each benefiting from its bounty; all outlived by its timeless presence. There is no better way to absorb the atmosphere of Egypt than to see the nation's past and present from the Nile and there are no better vessels on the Nile than the exceptional Sun Boat III. The Sun Boat III with just 18 cabins including four suites is an intimate yacht and fully airconditioned. Fine dining on the promenade deck is à la carte, every day a choice of dishes including Egyptian delicacies. Each cabin offers Nile views with en suite facilities, television, CDplayer and minibar. A sundeck and pool offer an oasis from which to enjoy the passing spectacles of the Nile. Nile Cabins are located on the lower deck, Promenade Cabins on the middle deck and suites on the upper deck.
