Sun Boat IV

Sun Boat IV is an A&K boat (one of 3 that are currently in service, they're also building a 4th) and moors at their private dock in Aswan. It's the largest of the 3 boats with 40 cabins. For our 3 night cruise, there are 76 passengers and 70 crew/staff. It's a very good ratio!



Unfortunately, the boat has no connecting cabins, so the girls are across the hall and one door down from us. The cabins are quite nice, with small bathrooms and a miniscule shower (as to be expected). The floor-to-ceiling windows yield beautiful river views, but don't open so we can't get the fresh air.


This is less of a problem than anticipated as we've flown south just in time for a major heat wave. Our time in Upper Egypt is blessed with 100+ degree weather every day. We all wilt fast...
