M/s EUGENIE

A Floating hotel is one of the most enchanting ways to experience and discover ancient Egypt with fantastic scenery and thrilling Tours.

The cruise category and facilities:

The Eugenie was proudly named to evoke an historic event in Egypt 's recent past: the grand opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, attended by the crown heads of Europe including the Empress Eugenie of France. The completion of the Suez Canal marked Egypt 's passage into modernity, and a new era of international trade and interaction. Likewise the Eugenie, the first ship to sail Lake Nasser , launched a new era of tourism, offering travelers fresh vistas of Egypt 's natural beauty and archeological treasures. Lake Nasser extended the boundaries of Egypt 's tourist possibilities, while the Eugenie reminds us of this ancient country's endless capacity for renewal. The M.S. Eugenie was constructed in 1993 in the style of a turn-of-the-century Nile steamship. It is 74 meters long, with just 52 cabins for maximal comfort, and two luxurious suites. Each cabin has an en suite bathroom with shower, washbasin, W.C. and hairdryer. The Eugenie's facilities include a sauna, steam bath, exercise equipment, sun decks, a swimming pool, air-conditioning and state-of-the-art water filtration systems.
