MS Misr Nile Cruise Ship

Continuing our visit to Aswan….

We were really excited that we had been invited to have lunch aboard the MS Misr Nile cruise ship.

The MS Misr is a truly unique vessel and is the only one of it’s kind that I know of that is currently cruising the Nile. The reason it’s unique is that it is a working steam ship.

It was originally constructed in Preston here in the UK for use by the Royal Navy and was quite unique because the very first Stephenson reversing system was fitted.

MS Misr. A quiet area to relax.

After an illustrious career with the Royal Navy it was bought by King Farouk and converted for his use and used for the venue of one of his birthdays in February of 1939.

Barbara and I were unsure as to what to expect but when we boarded the MS Misr and entered it’s elegant reception we were truly surprised. The ship has been fully restored and it’s decor takes you back to a more genteel and elegant age. It’s influences are a mix of Colonial and Art Deco.

Because the ship only has 16 cabins and 8 suites spread over 3 decks the ratio of staff to clients is such that you are offered a discreet service undertaken by friendly but professional staff.

Cabins are a spacious 21 square meters whilst suites are lager at 30 and 35 square meters. Continue reading “MS Misr Nile Cruise Ship”
