About the ship
Royal Ruby Nile Cruise
Royal Ruby is a 72-meter Nile cruise ship with about 70 cabins, a panorama bar and a discotheque, a fit for travelers who want a conventional cruise with room to move.
Royal Ruby is a 72-meter ship with generous public space: a restaurant for about 160 guests, a panorama bar, a sun deck bar and a discotheque. Listings show about 66 double cabins of around 21 square meters, two single cabins of about 18 square meters and one or two suites of about 42 square meters. Cabins have panoramic Nile windows, individual air conditioning, a TV, a minibar and a hairdryer. A hairdresser, gift shops and a 24-hour reception complete the picture. It suits travelers who want a conventional cruise with room to spread out. Listings disagree on a pool, a gym and massage, so do not count on them.
Royal Ruby leaves Luxor on Mondays for 4 nights to Aswan and leaves Aswan on Fridays for 3 nights to Luxor. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served on board. Stops include Karnak and the West Bank in Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Philae in Aswan. Solo travelers should ask early for one of the two single cabins, since there are so few.
