Chateau Lafayette Nile Cruise
Chateau Lafayette carries a touch of French elegance to the Nile. Of its fifty-six rooms, twenty-three are suites, a generous share that gives many guests a little more space than a standard cabin allows. The remaining thirty-three cabins are comfortable and well arranged for a few nights on the river.
The large sun deck is built around a swimming pool, with loungers, shade and a bar serving cool drinks through the day. From here the view changes constantly, from sugar cane and date palms to sandstone hills and river islands.
Inside, the lounge bar is a relaxed place to meet other travellers in the evening or simply watch the lights of the riverside towns. The number of suites makes it a thoughtful choice for couples who want extra comfort without moving to a much larger vessel.
