Karma Group’s two cruise experiences could not be more different — and that’s precisely the point. Karma Karnak and Karma Fushi offer distinct ways of travelling by water, each anchored to place, season and story.
Karma Karnak moves at the pace of the Nile. Days unfold between temple-lined riverbanks, quiet sailings at dawn, and evenings moored beside history. The timing could not be better. Cairo’s long-awaited Grand Egyptian Museum has finally opened its doors, reframing how the world encounters ancient Egypt. Pairing a Nile cruise with a pyramid and museum visit brings context and continuity — artefacts seen behind glass echoed later in stone at Luxor, Karnak and Aswan. This is Egypt experienced sequentially, thoughtfully, and without rush.
Karma Fushi, by contrast, offers a very different kind of immersion. Early 2026 marks one of the Maldives’ best seasons for diving and snorkelling, when calmer seas and clear visibility reveal reefs at their most alive. Manta rays glide through channels, turtles drift above coral gardens, and water temperatures invite long, unhurried swims. Between dives, life slows to decks, sunsets and open horizons.
One cruise transports you thousands of years into the past to explore one of the world’s great civilisations; the other is all about the present moment. Both shaped by season, place and the simple pleasures of travelling well in select company.
