Abercrombie & Kent will launch Nile Seray in 2026 – its fifth and most “sophisticated and spacious” riverboat in Egypt.
The 32-suite riverboat has two restaurants, a spa, gym, pool and outdoor bar and lounge and is the epitome of its namesake ‘Seray‘, meaning palace.
Each of the suites has floor-to-ceiling windows and a Juliet balcony, while two have full private balconies with spa pools.
Nile Seray will sail between Aswan and Luxor on four-night voyages with expert Egyptologists on every excursion.
Each trip visits tombs on the West Bank of the Nile that are not on the usual sightseeing route: Nefertari, Seti I, Ramses VI, and King Tutankhamun.
There are also experiences sailing around Elephantine Island, Egyptian cooking classes, traditional entertainment including Dervish performances, and the opportunity to soar in a hot-air balloon over the ancient landscape.
AKTG CEO Cristina Levis says, “Nile Seray represents the evolution of our nearly five decades of pioneering river cruising in Egypt”.
“This vessel embodies our understanding that luxury today is defined not by excess, but by space, authenticity, and the quality of experience.
“It reflects how we see travel: deeply personal, beautifully crafted, and rooted in genuine connection to place.”
A&K launched its first cruise on the Nile in 1977 when founder Geoffrey Kent was inspired by a chance encounter with actor David Niven on the set of Death on the Nile to lease the old steamship SS Memnon.
