From the readers of Condé Nast Traveler:
Since A&K's fleet comprises four small vessels—the largest holds 124 passengers—"excursions are intimate. An Egyptologist accompanied us the entire tour on the Nile." Menus on Nile River cruises are complemented by a chef who "speaks with you at each meal to make sure everything is to your liking." Staterooms on the Sun Boat IV have touches of Art Deco, with dark woods and a palette of deep purple and pale green. The Yangzi Explorer launched in 2008 and sails to the Three Gorges Dam and Fengdu among other destinations. Explore the lava fields and inlets of the Galápagos from the Eclipse. "There's always an excellent staff-to-guest ratio."
