Movenpick Darakum Nile Cruise

A compact five-star ship built in 2008, with 52 cabins and suites over five decks, a plunge pool and a pillow menu. Leaves Luxor on Mondays and Aswan on Fridays.

The Movenpick Darakum is a compact five-star ship built in 2008 at the Maasara shipyard. Its 52 cabins and suites spread over five decks for about 104 passengers. Standard and Superior cabins measure about 20 square meters, Panorama Suites about 34, and the Senior Suites on the upper deck are larger still. Beds set up as king or twin, with Egyptian cotton sheets, a pillow menu, robes and a bathtub with shower. The sun deck has a plunge pool and an open-air bar, and there is a fitness room and a shop. It suits couples and small groups who want attentive service. Fewer public spaces than the largest ships.

Classic sailings leave Luxor on Mondays for four nights and Aswan on Fridays for three nights. Longer programs of up to fourteen nights are also listed. The route calls at Esna, Edfu and Kom Ombo, with Karnak in Luxor and Philae in Aswan. Meals are themed buffets with some waiter-served dishes. Ask for a Panorama Suite if you want more space than a standard cabin.
