Nefertari Cruise – A Journey Through Time and the Red Sea
Step aboard the Nefertari, a breathtaking floating replica of Queen Nefertari’s tomb, and set sail on an unforgettable journey—not only across the Red Sea, but deep into the heart of Ancient Egypt.
A Tribute to Love and Royalty
Queen Nefertari, the beloved and most cherished wife of Pharaoh Ramses II, is honored through this stunningly detailed ship. Inside, you’ll find intricate decorations inspired by her tomb in the Valley of the Queens, along with replicas of Tutankhamun’s treasures and frescoes that reflect her high status in royal life.
Ramses II once wrote on her tomb walls:
“My love is unique, no one can rival her, for she is the most beautiful among the living—she has truly stolen my heart…”
This cruise pays homage to that eternal love.
