Sailing on the Nile from Luxor to Aswan, aboard this premium ship, the 124 passengers will be able to discover the wonders of Egypt in comfort and style. The cabins vary in size from 22 square meters for the Deluxe ones to 42 square meters for the Suites, all offering a beautiful view of the Nile River and featuring panoramic windows.

Comment

My journey on the Royal Lotus along the Nile with Travelmarvel was truly unforgettable. The ship is modern, spacious, and meticulously maintained, with elegant common areas and a beautiful panoramic sun deck complete with a pool. My cabin was large and comfortable, offering a wonderful view of the river. The highlight of this cruise was the quality of the excursions. Every site we visited—from Luxor to Aswan—was explained clearly by highly knowledgeable and passionate Egyptian guides. I felt completely immersed in Egypt’s millennia-old history. The onboard service was impeccable. The staff were consistently attentive and warm. The dining experience was also excellent, with a well-balanced mix of international dishes and Egyptian specialties. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone looking to discover Egypt in a comfortable and comprehensive way, without compromising on quality. A rich and well-organized experience in every detail.
