S/S Misr
Schedule: Every Monday from Luxor or Aswan on certain dates
Overview:
Commissioned by the British Royal Navy and delivered in 1907, the propeller Nile Steamer Misr was first launched on May 28th, 1918 as a British Royal Navy vessel. It arrived in Alexandria, Egypt on September 8th, 1918, from Preston, northwest England, having steamed 3276 nautical miles in 17.5 days.
Having served in World War II, SS Misr ("Egypt" in Arabic) also participated in setting down the 1924 uprising in Sudan as a warship and troop transporter for the British Egyptian joint task force.
After retiring from active duty, Misr went through an entire overhaul; converted into a luxury yacht in 1938 to be used by Egypt's last Monarch, King Farouk.
After Egypt's monarchy was overthrown in 1952, Misr became state property and was allocated to the Egyptian Ministry of Irrigation where it languished in a shipyard in a Cairo suburb until Traveline purchased it in 2003.
With special permission from the state authorities, the steam ship was entirely rebuilt according to its original drawings. In 2006 SS Misr was re-launched and returned to the glorified splendour of its heyday.
With a total of 16 cabins and 8 suites (two of which are panorama suites), each possessing a private balcony with a Nile view, the accommodations onboard SS Misr truly offer a scenic, peaceful retreat after an action-packed day. From the crisp bed linens and fresh scent of flowers in the rooms to the superior interior design, we are constantly striving for perfection when it comes to our accommodations.
We believe food is one of life's simple pleasures. That's why our food is fresh and made with the finest ingredients. On Misr, dining is a feast to the senses. Gracefully designed and uniquely situated on an upper deck, Marasem is the main restaurant of the boat, offering gourmet dishes on crystal and china at window tables. With black and white pictures of the royal family and key political events in Egypt's history adorning the entire facade of one wall, the restaurant retains an atmosphere of contemporary elegance, providing guests with the feeling of dining with royalty.
A spacious yet atmospheric venue, the Saraya Lounge is the ideal retreat for after-dinner drinks, where the onboard pianist entertains on the baby grand. The staff serve refreshing drinks and small snacks, leading to a happy end of a charming day.
