For the past 35 years, HE Travel has proudly had exclusive rights to cruise the Nile on the ss Karim during our Egypt tours. 2017 marked the Centennial for this proud ship, which is one of the last authentic paddle-wheel steamships in operation in the world!

During its first 75 years after being built in Scotland, this magnificent ship served as Egypt’s royal yacht, hosting Kings and Queens, Emperors and Empresses, and Presidents from across the globe.

Our guests continue to be treated as royalty in the large, elegant staterooms of the ss Karim. Please join us to celebrate the legacy of this historic by enjoying High Tea on the ss Karim as we glide past the riverbanks of history!
