The boat goes up and down the Nile River in four to 12-day cruises. They can be combined with a land tour of Egypt. I and II are usually used just for group charter. There are several suites. Sun Boat IV cabins contain a television, music system, telephone, and mini-bar.
Activities center around shore excursions with an Egyptologist escort and lectures.
The Sun Boat IV also has a gym, lounge, and game room. The cruise line operates the ships in its own fleet and also charters other ships and often operates cruises for universities and other groups. The ship travels the Nile River for four days between Luxor and Aswan. An extension is available to Jordan to visit Petra and Amman. A package includes land trips before the cruise.
