Uniworld calls its S.S. Sphinx a “Super Ship,” and the name fits — launched in 2021 with the same lavish, destination-specific design language behind Uniworld’s celebrated European vessels, applied to the Nile for the first time by a major international operator.
Every element of the interior — hand-carved wood ceilings, locally sourced fabrics, artwork commissioned from Egyptian artisans — was designed specifically for this ship rather than adapted from a European sister vessel. A sphinx figurehead sits at the bow. The crew-to-guest ratio, at roughly 2.4-to-1, is among the highest in the industry.
Every interior element was custom-designed for this ship specifically — not adapted from a European sister vessel, down to the sphinx figurehead at the bow.
Sails as part of a 12-day “Splendors of Egypt & the Nile” program, roundtrip from Cairo with pre- and post-cruise stays at the Four Seasons. Bookable directly through Uniworld.
