Sanctuary Sun Boat III: In Brief

The Sanctuary Sun Boat III is an intimate river yacht representing the ultimate in luxury Nile cruises. Style, comfort and refinement are reflected throughout, with white and ecru tones combined to create warmth and depth. This elegant Egypt cruise boat accommodates up to 36 guests on three, four and seven night cruises.

Location

In Luxor the dock is in front of Karnak Temple, beside the floating police station while in Aswan the dock is found in the new corniche beside the Aswan New Bridge. We recommend flying from Cairo to either destination.

Access

The flying time from Cairo to Luxor is 1 hour, and from Cairo to Aswan it is 1 hour 30 minutes. Driving to and from Luxor or Aswan is not usually recommended as it would require a police escort and the driving time is both long and tiring - approximately 12 hours from Cairo to Luxor, and 15 hours from Cairo to Aswan

Child Ages

Families with children aged five and older are warmly welcomed at The Sanctuary Retreats Accomodations.

Accomodation

All cabins have Nile views, a mini-bar, safe deposit box, and LCD television with satellite and in-house movies, along with being fully air-conditioned with individual controls. The private bathrooms all have a bathtub, shower and hairdryer.
