A&K Sanctuary will launch a new Nile riverboat in 2026. The Nile Seray will be the brand’s fifth riverboat in Egypt and will feature fewer, more spacious suites, compared with the brand’s Sunboat-class riverboats.
Each of the 32 modern suites will include a seating area beside floor-to-ceiling windows, a waterside balcony, and a large bathroom. Some suites will have private outdoor spa pools.
Nile Seray will also feature an indoor restaurant and an outdoor restaurant, a spa and gym, and a top deck with canopied daybeds, a swimming pool, and an outdoor bar and lounge with wraparound views of the Nile Valley.
The riverboat will sail between Aswan and Luxor on four-night voyages. The itinerary will offer daily expert-guided visits to the well-preserved tombs in the Valley of the Kings, the temples of Luxor, Karnak and Aswan, and bazaars. The cruise fare will include insider access to the tombs of Queen Nefertari, Seti I, Ramses VI, and King Tutankhamun in the West Bank.
Guests can also add on optional sailing trips to islands on the Nile and hot-air balloon rides.
Amazonian adventures
The Nile Seray announcement coincides with the inaugural voyage of A&K Sanctuary’s new Pure Amazon riverboat, which sails almost entirely on the rivers, lakes and backwaters of the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve, in the Peruvian Amazon.
Amazon offers three-, four- or seven-night itineraries, with special activities and excursions such as skiff tours, jungle walks, visits to local riverside communities and stargazing sessions.
The Pure Amazon has 12 suites and cabins, all with large windows for panoramic views. The top deck features a spa pool and daybeds on the sundeck, a lounge and restaurant serving local and international dishes, a wellness space with a spa treatment room and a gym.
