OVERVIEW

M/S Sanctuary Sun Boat IV Nile Cruise

The Sanctuary Sun Boat IV is a boutique luxury cruise between Luxor and Aswan. Its design mixes warm teak wood floors, art deco details and floor-to-ceiling windows, so the river is always part of your stay. With just 40 cabins and suites, the boat feels calm and personal.

Your guide is a professional Egyptologist, and tour groups are small. You explore Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Philae, then come back to fine dining by award-winning chefs. Between visits, relax by the pool on the sun deck, enjoy a massage, or watch the villages pass from the deck.
