The Kazazian Berge is a 55 metre sailing boat that cruises the Nile between Luxor and Aswan on private charter only. She carries a maximum of 18 guests, so the vessel, her crew and her programme belong to your party alone.
She sails without an engine. When the wind drops a small tender tows her, which means there is no motor running beneath you and nights at anchor are genuinely quiet. It is the thing most guests notice first, and the reason the boat suits travellers who want the river rather than a schedule.
Signature feature: No engine on board, so nights at anchor stay quiet
Accommodation is arranged over two decks: eight Nile-view cabins of 21 square metres each, and an Owner's Suite of 60 square metres with panoramic views over the river. Every cabin has full-width windows, a king or twin bed, a marble bathroom with a spacious shower, and 100 percent Egyptian cotton linen, towels and robes.
In-cabin comforts include a Nespresso machine and tea station, a fully stocked minibar, satellite television, a digital safe, air conditioning with a thermostat, and housekeeping twice daily. Complimentary WiFi, overnight dry cleaning and a shoe shine service run throughout the sailing.
The panoramic lounge on the upper deck seats twenty and serves drinks, snacks and afternoon tea through the day. A few steps away the front deck seats eighteen across shaded and open sunbeds, with a plunge pool fitted with water jets, open from six in the morning until six in the evening.
Dining is a la carte rather than buffet. Breakfast is served in the main restaurant, in your cabin or on deck on request, while lunch and dinner run to four courses drawing on Egyptian, Mediterranean and international cooking. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options are available on request. A crew of 22, including five chefs, looks after a maximum of 18 guests.
Set-piece evenings run through every sailing: a welcome cocktail with the crew on the first night, an oriental night of Egyptian food and music, afternoon high tea, and a gourmet candlelit dinner laid out on a private island beside the Nile, which is offered as an optional extra.
The Kazazian Berge is chartered as a whole boat, so rates are quoted per sailing rather than per cabin. Send us your dates, guest numbers and preferred programme and we will come back with a tailored quote. Itineraries may change due to river conditions and regulations; we keep the sequence of visits wherever possible.
Note: Child rates apply to children travelling with their parents. Where accommodation is included, a maximum of one child per room applies.

Our experience with Nile Empire was excellent from start to finish. Soliman helped us redesign our Egypt trip on very short notice and customized everything around our schedule, including internal flights, hotels, and a Nile cruise. We loved that all sightseeing tours were private, giving us flexibility throughout the trip. The guides, drivers, and overall organization were outstanding, and we never had to worry about anything during our stay in Egypt.
