    Meet the ship: Iberotel Crown Emperor

    What better way to tick off the awe-inspiring wonders of ancient Egypt than with a trip up the Nile? With comfortable cabins, a sun-drenched roof deck, and an itinerary bursting at the seams with history and entertainment, the four-deck Iberotel Crown Emperor could be just the ticket if you've been eyeing up a Nile river cruise. 

    When you're not ashore exploring, you can chill out up top by the outdoor pool, recline in the lounge with a refreshing cocktail, or just retire to your room and watch the riverbank roll by as you set sail to your next destination. And if you're in need of a bit of me time, there's even an onboard area for massages, as well as fitness equipment on the sun deck.
