Built in 2007 and part of the same Mövenpick fleet as the Royal Lotus, the Royal Lily carries 56 cabins and 4 Royal Suites — each suite with its own private jacuzzi bathtub, a genuine rarity on a Nile ship at this scale.
A rooftop pool and sun deck anchor the top level, alongside a dedicated spa and wellness center with sauna and steam room. Beyond the standard gym and internet café, the ship keeps dedicated bridge tables for card-playing guests — a genuinely old-fashioned touch increasingly rare on modern river ships, alongside a heated whirlpool and plunge pool.
The main restaurant serves full-board Egyptian and international cuisine; past guests specifically note the ship’s consistent mooring position — Mövenpick vessels are frequently docked at the outermost position when ships raft up in port, meaning cabins and the sun deck keep river views even when other ships’ inner-berth passengers don’t.
