A&K Sanctuary has revealed the launch of a new riverboat set to launch in 2026. The Nile Seray, the fifth vessel from the luxury brand will be able to accommodate 64 guests across 32 elegant, modern suites.

The Nile Seray will be the largest and most spacious from the company with 33-square-metre entry-level suites with floor-to-ceiling windows and a Juliet balcony.

Two magnificent suites will boast full private balconies with outdoor spa pools overlooking the Nile.

Also onboard are two restaurants helmed by world-class chefs (one indoors, one out), a spa and gym, and a beautiful top deck with canopied daybeds, a swimming pool, and an outdoor bar and lounge with wraparound views of the Nile valley.

The wellness space features two spa treatment rooms alongside a well-equipped gymnasium.

“Nile Seray represents the evolution of our nearly five decades of pioneering river cruising in Egypt,” said Cristina Levis, CEO of AKTG.

“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.”

The onshore experience with the Nile Seray

Part of the Nile Seray shore excursion experience will include visits to Egypt’s most coveted archaeological sites.

Every booking features some of the most magnificent tombs on the West Bank of the Nile that are not on the usual sightseeing route: Nefertari, Seti I, Ramses VI, and King Tutankhamun.

These experiences offer intimate encounters with Egypt’s most precious heritage sites and create the kind of extraordinary journey that has become A&K’s hallmark over nearly five decades of Egyptian exploration.

The itineraries

Nile Seray sails between Aswan and Luxor on four-night voyages that transport guests back in time to Ancient Egypt.

The itinerary includes visits to the temples of Luxor, Karnak and Aswan, alongside authentic cultural experiences such as felucca sailing around Elephantine Island, Egyptian cooking classes, traditional entertainment including costume parties and Dervish shows, alongside the opportunity for hot-air balloon rides over this awe-inspiring destination.

Expert Egyptologists accompany every excursion, bringing thousands of years of history to life through expert storytelling. Each voyage includes all meals, excursions and onboard amenities, whilst every booking supports A&K Philanthropy’s community initiatives in the region.
