If Agatha Christie took a Nile voyage today, we like to think she would do it aboard one of our A&K Sanctuary riverboats – consistently voted the best on the river, from boutique cruisers to a handsome six-suite dahabiya.

Our four small, chic boats are worthy successors to the elegant vessels of another century. Waistcoated waiters mix martinis in the bar; in the smart dining room, fantastic lunches and dinners are prepared by accomplished chefs. On the top deck, parasols and daybeds are arranged around a small pool. Our boats even have a spa and small gym. Daytimes are spent exploring Egypt’s extraordinary open-air museum along the banks of the Nile, led by our brilliant guides and eminent Egyptologists.

The A&K Sanctuary team’s wealth of experience and expertise operating on the Egyptian Nile now extends to the Peruvian Amazon, with the launch in 2025 of the state-of-the-art Pure Amazon, opening up a whole new realm of mystery and magnificence.
