S/S Misr Royal Cruiser Back on the Nile
Traveline Egypt is announcing this year the inauguration of exclusive cruises on the splendid S/S Misr.
Originally constructed in Preston by the royal Navy in 1918, implementing for the first time Stevenson Link reversing system for a vertical steam engine.
It was purchased and later converted into a luxury Nile steamer for King Farouk. Recorded as venue for the king's birthday, "on the occasion of the birthday anniversary of his majesty King Farouk I, The governor of Cairo requests the honour of your company on board the Misr Nile Steamer at 08 P.M. on February the 10th, 1939" The name of that Nile Steamer ship "Misr" meaning Egypt and the decor reflects the fashion of the period with each cabin having its own individual style.
S/S Misr has been rescued and fully restored as a 5 star deluxe propeller steamer, each royal sailing is limited to 45 guests travelling on the "most luxurious steam ship on the Nile" some 63 meters long, providing spacious accommodation with 24 cabins and suites.
Attractive features include the positioning of the lounge and restaurant on the upper and middle decks rather than on the usual lower deck placement thus enhancing one's perspective while cruising.
