Splendors of the NILE
Including a Luxury Cruise on Sun Boat IV
11 Day Tour
Splendors of the Nile by Abercrombie and Kent

     

'Splendors of the Nile' is a comprehensive Connoisseurs program, exploring every highlight along the Nile in A&K style. Including a cruise on 'Sun Boat IV' and a visit to coastal Alexandria, this program explores this birthplace of one of the most glorious civilizations the world has ever known.

    Born to Sail the Nile
    Of the more than 200 cruisers now sailing the Nile, none surpass, in comfort, service or cuisine, A&K’s own ‘Sun Boat IV.’

    We began with a simple idea: to create a spacious, technologically up-to-date and safety-conscious ship designed expressly for Nile cruising. No retrofits or renovations in our fleet: A&K ships were born to sail the sunny Nile.

    ‘Sun Boat IV’ has a large, inviting lounge lined with windows so you can sightsee as you relax over a cool drink or a game of backgammon. On a spacious sun deck atop the cruiser, comfortable lounge chairs surround the plunge pool, perfect for a refreshing dip under brilliant Egyptian skies.

    Exclusive A&K docking facilities at Luxor, Aswan and Kom Ombo ensure that our ship is always conveniently located and easy to board.

    In touch on holiday
    We make the most of modern technology to help you keep in touch with the world outside the Nile Valley. A&K's Nile fleet has on-board Internet access, satellite television connections, and daily deliveries of international newspapers.

    Relax!
    It's our policy to ensure that all travellers on board a Nile cruise enjoy their stay in peace and comfort. Mobile phone use is not allowed on board, and smoking is permitted only in designated areas of the outer deck.

Sun Boat IV

A&K's Sun Boat Fleet Best on the Nile
The best way to ensure that your travellers enjoy the finest cruise experience on the Nile is to design, build and sail your own fleet of Nile ships - and that's just what Abercrombie & Kent has done. Of the more than two hundred Nile cruisers now sailing Egypt, none surpass, in comfort, service or cuisine, A&K's own 'Sun Boat III' and 'Sun Boat IV.' 

An Essential Experience in Egypt
The Nile River is central to Egypt's past, present and future - the glittering blue ribbon on which her great cities, ancient temples and life-supporting agriculture are pinned. No trip to Egypt is truly complete without a Nile cruise, and Abercrombie & Kent's fleet of river cruisers were created to show you the country's best from a "mobile luxury hotel." 

Born to Sail the Nile



Sun Boat IVWe began with a simple idea: to create spacious, technologically up-to-date and safety-conscious ships designed expressly for Nile cruising. No retrofits or renovations in our fleet: the A&K Sun Boats were born to sail the sunny Nile. Both 'Sun Boat III' and 'Sun Boat IV' have large, inviting lounges lined with windows so you can sightsee as you relax over a cool drink or a game of backgammon. Spacious sun decks top each cruiser; here comfortable lounge chairs surround plunge pools, perfect for a refreshing dip under brilliant Egyptian skies. Exclusive A&K docking facilities at Luxor, Aswan, and in the future, Edfu, ensure that our ships are always conveniently located and easy to board. 

International Cuisine
À la carte dining is a Sun Boat specialty. At breakfast, guests choose from a tempting buffet complete with cooked-to-order egg dishes, cereals, fresh fruit platters and plenty of hot coffee. Lunches are buffet style as well, with choices ranging from Middle Eastern flavors to Italian or French themes. Afternoon tea (in the style of the Ritz) is served in the lounge. At dinnertime, everyone is served in a single, leisurely open seating and the Sun Boat chefs truly come into their own, presenting elegant international menus with a gourmet touch. 

Beverages
Local wine, local beer, bottled mineral water, soft drinks, coffee and tea are included throughout your cruise. Bars and dining rooms offer a broad selection of European, American and local beers, wines and liquors - you're always sure to find the perfect complement to your mood, beginning with the cocktail that welcomes you on board. 

In Your Cabin
Accommodations aboard 'Sun Boat III' and 'Sun Boat IV' are also in keeping with the ships' relaxed resort atmosphere. All cabins and suites are outside-facing, with ever-changing Nile views and ever-fresh décor. From the down pillows on your bed to the deluxe toiletries over your sink, every detail has been chosen to help you feel at home. Sun Boat cabins are beautifully appointed. All have a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, color television, in-house music system, internal telephone and mini-bar. Air-conditioning can be regulated with individual cabin controls. 

Butler Service
Like to relax with a drink or a snack in your cabin? Simply ask: a Sun Boat Butler provides "room service" delivery of selected menus to your door. 

In Touch on Holiday
We make the most of modern technology to help you keep in touch with the world outside the Nile Valley. A&K Sun Boats have on-board Internet access at a cyber-café, satellite television connections, and daily deliveries of international newspapers. 

Entertainment on Board
A&K's Sun Boats sail with a good selection of classic movies and the latest video releases on their library shelves, in addition to board games, CD-ROMs and reference books on subjects of interest to travellers in Egypt. You can also look forward to a post-dinner performance of traditional folk song and dance, courtesy of the talented staff on board. 

Relax! 
It's our policy to ensure that every traveller on board our Sun Boats can enjoy their stay in peace and comfort. Mobile phone use is not allowed on board, and smoking is limited to a designated area in the lounge.

ABERCROMBIE AND KENT
It’s Simply The Best Way To Travel

Some people collect travel destinations the way others collect Biedermeier furniture or presidents’ autographs.

What’s come onto the market this year? Bhutan? Libya? Mongolia? Why not fly over this summer and add it to the collection?

Others travel for an entirely different set of reasons. Reasons which have less to do with collecting countries (who needs another trophy on the shelf?) than with gathering experience.

If you’re a member of the latter group, you know that, at its best, a journey down the Sepik River or up Mount Kilimanjaro, across Provence or along the Antarctic Peninsula, can change you deeply in ways both tangible and intangible, acknowledged and unavowed.

However, when changing the way you look at the world is one of your travel objectives — when authentic experience matters more to you than casual acquisition — the travel company you choose has a tall order to fill.
 

That’s where Abercrombie & Kent comes in.

Since 1962, A&K has been doing one thing exceptionally well. We specialize in matching unique people with unique places, and in providing the expertise and (unobtrusive) support that allows them to experience those places fully, at first hand and in their own personal style.

It’s simply the best way to travel. And it requires a unique combination of local knowledge and global organization that only Abercrombie & Kent is equipped to provide.

The travel industry is filled with companies who own only their brochures and a handful of contracts with independent suppliers overseas. In contrast, A&K has its own network of offices (48 and counting) across the globe, staffed full time by A&K professionals. We own and operate luxury camps and lodges in remote destinations to ensure that our clients have access to the best.

And we draw on the knowledge, humor and creativity of an incredible team of staff members and local “friends of A&K,” to bring you face-to-face with an Antarctic iceberg the size of Chartres Cathedral, or make it possible for you to walk around Chartres itself with an expert on its stained glass. To set you down for a private picnic a deux in the middle of the African savannah or give you and the children your own tropical island for a day.

Experience does count. Ours will make yours unforgettable.
 
 

A&K - The First Name in Luxury Travel


For more than forty years, Abercrombie & Kent (A&K) has been internationally recognized as the first name in luxury travel. Born in 1962 as a safari company in Nairobi, Kenya, A&K's unparalleled travel and tour operations now extend across the far and exotic reaches of the globe. A&K takes its travelers on extraordinary journeys-in extraordinary style-to more than one hundred countries on all seven continents. The company's tours and safaris span the globe from Africa to the Middle East, India and Nepal; from the Orient to Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific; and from Europe to Central and South America and Antarctica. Forty-five destination management companies ensure the "insider access" that only a local staff can provide.

A&K’s impressive and enticingly varied list of luxury and adventure holidays combine active days with comfortable, luxuriant nights. Small group escorted journeys allow guests to confidently travel to places they might otherwise hesitate to go on their own, with a choice of itineraries at varying levels of luxury. Family holidays are tailored to the interests, attention spans and abilities of all ages, with comfortable hotels and comforting meals, and, most importantly, a friendly guide who understands children. Tailor made private travel offers independent travellers meticulous attention to detail, safety and customer service. These lifestyle-oriented programs are one reason why A&K was honored at the World Travel Awards as “World’s Leading Luxury Specialist Tour Operator.”

Geoffrey Kent, who along with Jorie Butler Kent owns and operates A&K, was born-most fittingly-while his British parents were on safari in Zambia. Indeed, he spent much of his childhood on the African continent. In 1962, Geofrey Kent, along with his parent's Colonel John and Valerie Kent, formed Abercrombie & Kent.

In the 1970s, Geoffrey Kent, who by then had long been the Managing Director of the company, entered into a partnership with Jorie Ford Butler of Oak Brook, Illinois, to run A&K. They continue to travel the world in search of adventures that will surprise and thrill their guests. Under their passionate and visionary guidance-Geoffrey Kent serves as Chairman and CEO, Jorie Butler Kent as Executive Vice Chairman - Abercrombie & Kent represents the uncompromising best at every turn in the road.

With a philosophy that is governed in equal parts by the Kents' unswerving commitment to conservation and their mission to provide "memories of a lifetime," A&K goes to seemingly limitless lengths to design tours that offer privileged access and special insight. Further distinguishing A&K is the fact that the company owns luxury safari lodges in pristine wilderness areas, including Chief's Camp and Chobe Chilwero in Botswana; exclusive rights to camps with some of Africa's finest game-viewing; a fleet of comfortable, well-maintained ground transport vehicles; and the Sun Boats on the Nile. A&K also creates unique travel experiences built around the luxury trains of Venice Simplon-Orient-Express and the Royal Scotsman; the Road to Mandalay river cruiser and 29 canal and river cruisers in Europe; and the legendary Sea Cloud, the world's most beautiful sailing ship.

Abercrombie & Kent's headquarters are in Oak Brook, Illinois. Forty-seven offices worldwide, employing more than 1,700 travel professionals, offer unrivaled attention to detail, safety issues and service standards.

A deep-rooted concern for the natural world infuses each and every A&K trip: Geoffrey Kent and Jorie Butler Kent believe passionately in "high-yield, low-impact" tourism-adventure that respects the natural environment and benefits indigenous peoples. They are the founders of Friends of Conservation and the Abercrombie & Kent Global Foundation, established to address global environmental and conservation concerns. Among its achievements have been significant contributions to the preservation of Kenya's famed Masai Mara Game Reserve, as well as to anti-poaching and environmental education projects on all seven continents.

Abercrombie and Kent is a NON-FEE/no discount buy

We will not charge a fee for any/all tour planning for Abercrombie and Kent. Our services are absolutely free when servicing this quality program. Additionally, no travel agent or web-based travel concern is allowed to discount when representing Abercrombie and Kent and any of its affiliated touring companies. Rest assured, you will receive the quality that you expect and the unique value of a well-designed tour program from the beginning and planning stage to the culmination of this exceptional journey.
