MS Medea Nile Cruise
A 72-meter luxury Nile ship with 20-square-meter cabins, a few balcony suites, two bars and a pool deck. It suits couples and friends who like a social evening.
The Medea is a mid-size ship, about 72 meters long and 14 meters wide, with four decks plus a sun deck. Most rooms are superior twins or doubles of about 20 square meters. A few smaller doubles, one single cabin and some balcony suites complete the mix. Junior suites run about 28 square meters. Walls and ceilings are fire-proof and sound-proof, which helps before early temple starts. The lounge has a dance floor and evening folklore shows, while a quieter bar with Chesterfield sofas faces the river. No dedicated spa is described, only some fitness equipment on the sun deck.
The four-night cruise leaves Luxor on Thursdays and the three-night cruise leaves Aswan on Mondays. The route links Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan, and the Kom Ombo temple sits right on the bank. Meals mix waiter service and buffet in a 120-seat restaurant serving Egyptian and international dishes. An eight-day program is also listed. Solo travelers should ask early, because the ship has only one single cabin.
