SS MISR
Some 63 metres in length the SS Misr has now been fully restored as a 5-star de luxe propeller steam vessel comprising just 24 passenger cabins and suites. The spacious, fully air-conditioned environment, exquisitely decorated public rooms and a crew of 60 provide high level of service. 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 sun beds.
Misr means ‘the Kingdom of Egypt’ and the décor reflects the fashion of the period with cabins decorated in a variety of styles linked both to the history of the vessel and Egypt: Ottoman, Empire, English, Art Deco and Louis XV. The original steam engines may be viewed and the vessel will normally travel under steam. There is a Sun Deck with pool and pool bar, shop and the air-conditioned outside cabins 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 at the front of the vessel with balconies and impressive panoramic views.
