About the ship

MS Lady Carol Nile Cruise

A mid-size Nile ship with an outdoor pool, sun deck and lounge bar. It suits couples, friends and small families who care more about the temples than the ship.

The Lady Carol is a mid-size river ship of about 72 meters, listed as built in 2002 and renovated in 2024. Cabins run about 19 square meters, with single-use cabins near 13. Each has air conditioning, a shower room, satellite TV, minibar, safe and hairdryer. Beds come as double or twin. Up top, the sun deck has loungers, parasols, a pool and a poolside bar. Below, a buffet restaurant, lounge bar, gift shop and laundry round things out. Evenings can bring a folklore show, belly dancing or a disco. Lower-deck cabins may have small round windows, and sources disagree on whether a spa or gym exists.

The four-night cruise leaves Luxor on Thursdays and the three-night cruise leaves Aswan on Mondays. Going south, the ship calls at Esna, Edfu and Kom Ombo before Aswan. Expect Karnak in Luxor, the Temple of Horus at Edfu, the riverside temple at Kom Ombo and Philae near Aswan. Wi-Fi and the doctor on call cost extra in one listing. Ask for an upper-deck cabin if a full-size window matters to you.
