About Misr
For our journeys along the Nile, we are delighted to have once again chartered the recently refurbished SS Misr, a very special and unique vessel. Originally constructed in Preston by the Royal Navy in 1918, the SS Misr was purchased and later converted into a luxury Nile steamer for King Farouk. Now fully restored to a five-star deluxe propeller steam vessel she accommodates just 44 passengers in spacious, air-conditioned cabins and suites. Misr means ‘the Kingdom of Egypt' and the décor throughout the vessel reflects the period.
