Mövenpick brings its Swiss hospitality tradition to the Nile aboard the Royal Lotus, the flagship of its Egyptian river fleet — 60 cabins built for year-round sailing rather than a seasonal operation.
Deluxe cabins run a genuinely spacious 22 square meters with panoramic Nile-facing windows, and the ship maintains a full dietary accommodation policy — halal, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are standard, not a special request. Excursions include Kom Ombo, Philae, and the Unfinished Obelisk, with an optional Abu Simbel add-on.
Runs year-round rather than seasonally, with full dietary accommodation built into the standard menu, not treated as a special request.
Sails 4-night itineraries from Luxor (departing Mondays) and 3-night itineraries from Aswan (departing Fridays). Bookable directly through Mövenpick/Accor or standard cruise platforms.
