The luxury operator said it had designed an “extremely high-spec” vessel, with “all the facilities and services of a high-end floating hotel”.


The riverboat will feature indoor and outdoor restaurants, spa, gym, a swimming pool and a sundeck and a crew with Egyptologists.


Each of its 32 cabins will have floor-to-ceiling windows, Juliet balconies above the water and marble bathrooms. 


There will be two presidential suites with outdoor hot tubs onboard. 

In the coming months, A&K will reveal the name of the vessel, which will also be available for private charters.
