The MS Farah holds 62 staterooms and suites, and features stunning deck views. Managing director for Avalon Waterways, Pam Hoffee, told River Cruise Passenger, “From welcoming travelers to Cairo, ‘Mother of the World,’ and inviting them to look up at the ‘Stairway to the Sky,’ to welcoming them onboard the MS Farah to sail through Africa’s ancient history and civilizations along the Nile, this is a very special, awe-inspiring experience for travelers of all ages.”
