M.S. Eugenie 5* Lake Nasser Cruise
Aswan - Abu Simbel and Abu Simbel Aswan
The Eugenie was proudly named to
evoke an historic event in Egypt's recent past: the
grand opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, attended by the
crown heads of Europe including the Empress Eugenie of
France. The completion of the Suez Canal marked Egypts
passage into modernity, and a new era of international
trade and interaction.
Likewise the Eugenie, the first ship to sail Lake
Nasser, launched a new era of tourism, offering
travelers fresh vistas of Egypts natural beauty and
archeological treasures. Lake Nasser extended the
boundaries of Egypts touristic possibilities, while the
Eugenie reminds us of this ancient countrys endless
capacity for renewal.
The M.S. Eugenie was constructed in 1993 in the style of
a turn-of-the-century Nile steamship. It is 74 meters
long, with just 52 cabins for maximal comfort, and two
luxurious suites. Each cabin has an ensuite bathroom
with shower, washbasin, w.c. and hairdryer.
The Eugenies facilities include a sauna, steam bath,
exercise equipment, sun decks, a swimming pool,
air-conditioning and state-of-the-art water filtration
systems. |
