The Nefertiti
Recently refurbished, the privately chartered Nefertiti, designed for 3 groups of 20-25 travelers (average of 22), features all outside cabins, each with a private balcony for a unique cruising experience on the Nile. Because of the ship’s small size, you’ll get to know your fellow travelers and the crew in an intimate setting, creating a family-like atmosphere throughout your voyage. Enjoy dedicated attention from the 40 friendly crew members; relax with friends old and new in common areas and open-seating dining room; and cruise to each new destination in security and comfort.
Weather permitting, take in views of the Nile on the Aten (Sun) Deck
