Fantasia

Fantasia is a two-mast sailing dahabiya carrying twelve cabins across two decks: four suites set at the rear of the boat and eight deluxe cabins with a choice of twin or large bed. She sails the reach between Luxor and Aswan, calling at Esna, Edfu and Al Ramady Island, with Kom Ombo added on the seven-night programme.

Days pass at the pace of the wind, with meals taken in the open air on deck and full board throughout. Between temple visits there is an open-air oriental seating area, a reading lounge, a small boutique and an open-air Jacuzzi, with a massage room aboard and a doctor on call.

Departures run on Wednesdays from Aswan for three nights, and on Saturdays from Luxor for four, five and seven nights, so the trip can be matched to the time you have.
