One of the world's rarest places

galapagos

If your dream is to get up close and personal with some of the world's rarer creatures, then book a trip to the Galapagos. But you don't need to rough it.

Ecoventura's three identical superior first-class sister yachts each accommodate 20 guests and feature three decks of spacious staterooms with polished teak interiors trimmed with brass fittings. The 10 double cabins are luxuriously appointed and there's a partially covered upper sun deck ideal for lounging and star gazing.

Two different itineraries offer a range of activities and opportunities to see iconic species of wildlife that make Galapagos famous: giant tortoises, penguins, frigate birds, boobies, flamingos, Darwin Finches, albatross, flightless cormorant, marine and land iguanas, lizards, many varieties of sea birds, whale, dolphins, sea turtles, sharks and sea lions.

Float in style on an ancient river

nilecruise

Ever wished you could explore the magical River Nile? Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts has recently added five new Nile cruisers to its fleet making the Swiss hotel company now the largest international operator on Egypt's River Nile with a total of eight boats.

The SS Misr is undeniably the fleet's flagship and is the only internationally managed steamship in Egypt. Built in the United Kingdom nearly 100 years ago, SS Misr is a 'floating time capsule' from the reign of King Farouk who converted it to his private yacht in 1938 and used it especially for his birthday celebrations.

What's more onboard cuisine features a selection of dishes from King Farouk's favourite menus served by staff dressed in the style of his reign.

Mövenpicks SB Feddya redefines the 'dahabeya', the traditional Egyptian sailing boat, with a fresh and unique concept. Despite being the smallest dahabeya on the Nile, Mövenpick SB Feddya has vastly more space for passengers than a traditional craft.

Four uniquely-designed suites each have a private patio or balcony. The exclusivity is highlighted by chefs who will create whichever dishes passengers desire. SB Feddya is the only Nile sailing boat with 24 hour butler and laundry service for each suite. It is available for charter as well as individual bookings.
