Luxury travel specialist Sanctuary Retreats has announced a sophisticated makeover for Sanctuary Nile Adventurer, one of its luxury Nile River Cruisers.  Already widely regarded as one of the best boutique ships on the Nile and named as one of National Geographic's 'Journeys of a Lifetime', this makeover will ensure that this exclusive ship continues to offer modern, comfortable style and top class 5-star luxury on this timeless river when it relaunches in September 2019.

 “We're seeing an enormous increase in bookings to Egypt and want to ensure that Sanctuary Retreats continues to offer the top-level cruising on the Nile which we are renowned for. A Nile cruise is a bucket list trip which offers guests an insight into Egypt's civilisation going back more than 7,000 years.  This transformation follows our recent launch of the new look Sanctuary Sun Boat IV which is already proving a huge hit with our guests,” comments Pieter van der Schee, Global Director Sales & Marketing for Sanctuary Retreats.

The 32 rooms and suites will all be re-styled in calm serene tones with elegant patterned rugs, feature walls, plush headboards and soft fabrics in the cabins as well as private dining and living areas in the spacious suites. These contemporary cabins all have a Nile view and will offer guests a bright and inviting setting from which to cruise along the waterways. A brand-new spa with a unique floating four poster bed will offer a wide range of relaxing treatments whilst the lounge, new bar, restaurant and soothing library will all be upgraded as part of this extensive project. 

 The outdoor Sun Deck with its cabanas, sun loungers and refreshing pool offer the perfect spot for relaxing and will also be home to a new open-air gym for those looking to exercise their bodies as well as their minds onboard.

 Award winning chefs offering gourmet cuisine as well as sightseeing experiences with the country's most experienced Egyptologists will ensure that this 'Journey of a Lifetime' along this timeless river will become even more spectacular on board the Sanctuary Nile Adventurer.   Sanctuary Nile Adventurer will offer four-night itineraries along the Nile from September 2019.
