The
M.S. Kasr Ibrim was named after the ancient citadel on Lake Nasser, the
only Nubian monument that still exists in its original location. The
Kasr Ibrim citadel, standing on a high bluff overlooking the river
valley, was adapted to suit the needs of its diverse occupants
throughout the ages. Likewise, the M.S. Kasr Ibrim provides an epic
setting for international travelers, while commemorating the citadel as
an enduring link with Egypt's distant past.
M.S. Kasr Ibrim Lake Nasser Cruise was launched in
September 1997. The ship is 79 meters long, with just 55 cabins for maximal
comfort, and 10 luxurious suites. The interior décor reflects the Art Deco
style of the 1920's. The Executive Deck has 12 twin-bedded cabins, each with a
private balcony (total space 22.75 m2). The Lower Deck has 7 twin bedded cabins
without balconies (22.75 m); these can also be used for triple occupancy.
Kasr Ibrim's facilities also include a mosaic-lined swimming pool, a sauna,
steam bath, exercise equipment, state-of-the-art water filtration systems, and
is fully air-conditioned.
