About the ship
MS Royal La Terrasse Nile Cruise
MS Royal La Terrasse is a full-board Nile cruise ship launched in 2008, with a pool, afternoon tea and a choice of single, double or triple cabins.
MS Royal La Terrasse entered service in November 2008. It is a straightforward full-board ship with a swimming pool and afternoon tea on the daily program. Cabins come as singles, doubles and triples, so a solo traveler, a couple or a family of three can each find a fit. It suits travelers who want a pool and a simple, good-value cruise. Published details are thin. Cabin sizes, the number of decks and any spa, gym or lift are not listed, so ask before you book if one of them matters.
Four-night cruises leave Luxor on Saturdays and sail to Aswan. Three-night cruises leave Aswan on Wednesdays and sail back to Luxor. Stops include Karnak in Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Philae in Aswan, and the 4-night route passes through the Esna lock. One listing also shows a seven-night option. The triple cabins make this a practical pick for families who want to keep a child in the same room.
