Esplanade is part of the Mayfair Cruises fleet and has a refined, modern character. Its deluxe cabins measure around twenty square metres, with panoramic sliding windows that open onto a French balcony, and the suites add a separate sitting area for those who like to spread out.

Meals are served in the Belle Vue Restaurant, which mixes Egyptian dishes with international cooking, and the Plaisir Bar and Lounge on the main deck is the place to meet for a drink before dinner.

Up on the sun deck, a pool is flanked by two shaded cabanas and a row of loungers, perfect for the warm Upper Egyptian afternoons. The spa rounds things off with steam and sauna rooms and a menu of massages. Esplanade is a polished choice for guests who appreciate good design and a quiet, attentive style of service.
