The Steam Ship Sudan, an authentic steamship built at the dawn of the 20th century, brings turn-of-the-century travel to life again.
A boat inhabited by the memory of the King Fouad who received it as a gift in 1885; the memory of the Belle Époque travellers who used it; or that of Hercule Poirot who Agatha Christie had walking its decks in her writings...
A decor seeming frozen in time with its retro charm and its brass and woodwork setting.
Sailing on the Steam Ship Sudan is like being on no other cruise ship on the Nile.
The boat is regularly restored with a care to reconciling its original ambiance with the accoutrements necessary to respond to the needs of today’s traveller (air conditioning, bathrooms…).
Voyageurs du Monde completely oversees the quality of service on board, as well as the restaurant services and the recruitment of the guides present on the boat.
If discovering the Nile Valley is the trip of a lifetime, choose to live it on board our steamship to make this experience even more unique.

Originally S/S Misr 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.
