Elegant and sophisticated, this is one of the most beautiful ships sailing the Nile today. The MS Grand Rose is the height of understated luxury, offering panoramic views from the sun deck; exceptional international cuisine at the Jasmin restaurant; and the opportunity to relax and enjoy a cocktail in the Tulip bar as the sun sinks beneath the horizon – the perfect location for that special occasion.
Popular with an international clientele, it is ideal for couples and singles of all ages and if you are looking for an all inclusive Nile Cruise represents the best value that you are likely to find. Currently for January 2012 departures are available from £539.00 pp.
Whether you want to explore the sites or simply wile away the hours to the sound of water lapping gently against the bow, you will enjoy first class service from the experienced and attentive crew. MS Grand Rose is available to book as Nile Cruise or as a Red Sea Cruise & Stay package.
