SS Misr, A Royal Steamer Restored

SS MISR

Some 63 metres in length and now fully restored as a 5-star
deluxe propeller steam vessel comprising just 24 passenger
cabins and suites. The spacious, fully air-conditioned environment, exquisitely decorated public rooms and a crew of 63 provide a high level of service – indeed assessment by Voyages Jules Verne passengers in 2010 and 2011 places this vessel above all others worldwide. Additional features include the positioning of the Marasem Restaurant, Saraya Lounge and Dahabia Bar on the higher decks, enhancing one’s perspective while cruising. The period-style restaurant accommodates all guests at one sitting at window tables. There is also a lower sundeck with wicker chairs and an upper sundeck with sunbeds and pool.

Misr means ‘the Kingdom of Egypt’ and the décor reflects the
fashion of the period with cabins decorated in styles linked
both to the history of the vessel and Egypt: Ottoman, Empire,
English, Art Deco, Louis XV and Louis XVI. The original steam
engines may be viewed and the vessel will normally travel
under steam. The air-conditioned Outside cabins (including
two single cabins - smaller but offered at no supplement) or
suites are with balcony, private facilities, hairdryer, mini-bar
and TV. The Upper deck suite accommodation is 50% larger
in size than the regular cabins. Two suites (‘Panorama’) at
the front of the vessel offer panoramic views while sailing.
