About the ship

MS Miriam Nile Cruise

MS Miriam is a 72-meter luxury Nile ship fully overhauled in 2023, with 58 cabins and suites, including two Royal Suites with balconies.

MS Miriam is a 72-meter ship with four decks plus a sun deck, and it was completely overhauled in 2023. Its 58 rooms include 32 twin cabins and 23 superior doubles of about 20 square meters. There is also a Presidential Suite of about 31 square meters and two Royal Suites of about 40 square meters with a balcony. Cabins have individual air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a minibar, a safe and a coffee tray. The sun deck has a pool and sunbeds, and there is a fitness room, a massage room and a doctor on call around the clock. It suits couples who want a refreshed ship and a chance at a balcony suite. The pool and wellness area are modest next to bigger ships.

Cruises leave Luxor on Thursdays and Aswan on Mondays. The usual pattern is 4 nights from Luxor to Aswan and 3 nights from Aswan to Luxor, and an eight-day version also runs. Stops include Karnak and the West Bank in Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Philae, with Esna on the 4-night route. Meals are full board. There are only three suites, so book a Royal Suite early if a balcony matters to you.
