Alyssa Nile Cruise

A deluxe Nile ship launched in 2006, with interiors by Swiss architect Pia Schmid, wide panoramic cabin windows and a wellness deck. Best for couples who like calm.

Alyssa is a deluxe Nile cruise ship launched in 2006. Swiss architect Pia Schmid designed the interiors, so the lounges feel open and full of glass rather than gilded. Every cabin, from single to triple, has a wide panoramic window, its own air conditioning and a bathroom with both tub and shower. The wellness center sits at the front of the fourth deck, with a sauna, jacuzzi, mud bath, small gym and a licensed masseur. There is also a pool, a piano bar and a reading and games corner. The trade-off is the evenings: entertainment is low-key, so travelers who want shows and a disco should pick a livelier ship.

Alyssa leaves Luxor on Mondays for 4 nights to Aswan and leaves Aswan on Fridays for 3 nights to Luxor. Both directions call at Edfu and Kom Ombo, with Karnak at the Luxor end. Take the Monday sailing if you fly into Luxor and out of Aswan, and add Abu Simbel as a separate day trip at the end. For the coolest temple mornings, travel between December and February.
