About Anoush
Anoush sails the full seven-night reach from Luxor to Aswan, calling at Esna, Edfu and Kom Ombo, with an optional excursion onward to Abu Simbel. Cabins open onto panoramic windows over the river and have their own baths, while suites add a walk-out balcony above the water.
Life aboard centres on the sun deck, shaded by a retractable awning, with an open-air Jacuzzi and an upper-deck bar. Meals are prepared by the onboard chef and taken indoors or out, with a wide range of breakfasts to suit most diets.
Departures run on Thursdays through the spring, from March to May.
