Among the most modern and fashionable Nile boats, this luxurious cruiser was built in 2008 and features modern furnishings and state-of-the-art amenities to meet your every need. Immerse yourself in the exquisite Egyptian hospitality as you unwind in luxurious accommodations and marvel at the breathtaking environment that changes before your eyes. Throughout your voyage with Etro Tours, you can expect the warm friendliness of the Egyptian people, in addition to the ship's five decks and many on-board amenities. **Accommodations:** All 68 of the outside luxury accommodations, which are 23 square meters in size, feature balcony rails and panoramic windows that open all the way.

The Royal Suites are the perfect place to enjoy our Nile Experience to the fullest with Etro Tours. A Jacuzzi tub and a window overlooking the cabin and the Nile are amenities found in the four suites, which are located at the front of the boat and offer greater space than the others. Your luxurious suite may span up to 40 square meters and comes with extras like a concierge, fresh fruit, a Bon Voyage bottle of drink, and personalized stationery. **Facilities & Activities:** With its gorgeous wooden sun loungers and chic rattan furnishings, the spacious sun terrace on the top deck offers a tranquil spot to rest and take in the breathtaking Nile views. There is a deck bar with refreshing drinks and a swimming pool perfect for a daytime dip. **Dining:** While the lovely lounge bar on the top deck is the ideal spot to unwind in the evening and take in the nightly entertainment, the main restaurant on the lower deck has a fantastic selection of both local and foreign food.
