The Oberoi Philae is the sister ship to the Oberoi Zahra, and by several accounts the more intimate of the two — a chic, contemporary vessel refurbished in 2016, carrying a maximum of just 44 passengers.
Private docking arrangements in both Luxor and Aswan mean guests avoid the long walks across other ships common at busier moorings — a genuine convenience during peak season, when boats often raft up several deep. The ship has also been specifically noted for accessibility, with docking access accommodating guests with mobility limitations, unusual among Nile vessels.
Private docking arrangements in both Luxor and Aswan spare guests the long walks across other ships common at busier moorings.
Sails 4 and 6-night itineraries between Luxor and Aswan. Bookable directly through Oberoi Hotels or standard cruise platforms.
