    Meet the ship: JAZ Gloria

    The Nile has been luring travellers for thousands of years – and now there's a stylish new way to answer the call. Aboard JAZ Gloria, you'll enjoy snug, well-appointed 17.5m² cabins, a lounge bar made for slow evenings, and a schedule packed with temples, tombs, and tales worth crossing continents for.

    Between excursions, cool off in the open-air pool with a drink from the poolside bar, or unwind in the restaurant over a leisurely dinner as the riverbank drifts by. When it's time to switch off completely, sweat it out in the compact gym, book yourself in for a massage, or let the sauna do the rest.
