About

Designed with classic style and contemporary comfort, Sun Boat III delivers a calm, sophisticated atmosphere that feels more like a floating boutique hotel than a large cruise ship. With attentive service, polished interiors and generous public spaces, the vessel creates a serene base between guided excursions. Days are spent discovering temples, tombs and historic cities, while evenings unfold with sunset views over the Nile, fine dining and relaxed social spaces.

Rooms

Accommodation consists of spacious river-facing cabins and suites, all featuring large panoramic windows or French balconies that allow uninterrupted views of life along the Nile. Cabins are elegantly furnished with plush bedding, marble bathrooms and modern amenities, offering a peaceful retreat after busy sightseeing days. The overall feel is luxurious yet comfortable, with thoughtful design that maximises light and river scenery.

Dining

Dining aboard Sun Boat III is a highlight, with expertly prepared meals served in a refined restaurant setting overlooking the water. Menus blend international cuisine with Egyptian flavours, using fresh ingredients and offering generous buffet and à-la-carte options. Afternoon teas, evening cocktails on the sun deck and candlelit dinners enhance the sense of classic Nile elegance.

Activity

Activities revolve around expertly guided shore excursions to Egypt’s most iconic landmarks, including the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, Philae Temple and Kom Ombo. Between visits, guests can relax on the sun deck, enjoy the swimming pool, unwind in lounge areas or watch riverside life drift by. Cultural talks, entertainment and quiet moments on deck complete a richly immersive Nile journey.
