REPUTATION FOR EXCELLENCE
Generally regarded as one of the most luxurious and refined cruise boats currently sailing along the Nile, The Oberoi Zahra thoroughly deserves its reputation for excellence.
You can expect a designer spa offering a full menu of relaxing and rejuvenating treatments. A swimming pool and glorious sun decks. Evenings filled with contemporary haute cuisine, performances of traditional dancing and music and romantic star gazing from the boat’s rail.
But perhaps the greatest luxury offered by The Oberoi Zahra, is being able to see the history of Egypt through the eyes of expert Egyptologists. They will accompany you to the great sights and add depth to your experience.
Memphis Barker travelled with us on The Oberoi Zahra and wrote about his experience for The Independent.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
