Soleil Nile Cruise

A luxury Nile ship launched in late 2024 with 53 cabins and suites, a rooftop pool, hot tub, spa and an elevator. Suits travelers who want a new ship or need lift access.

Soleil is one of the newest luxury ships on the Nile, launched toward the end of 2024. Designer Vanessa Victor used local handmade furnishings, marble and temple-inspired art. It has 53 rooms: 41 luxury cabins of about 21 square meters, eight junior suites, two royal suites and two Soleil suites of about 58 square meters. Every room has floor-to-ceiling windows, free Wi-Fi and an espresso machine. The sun deck holds a rooftop pool and hot tub, and the spa adds a steam room, sauna and massage. An elevator helps guests who struggle with stairs. As a new ship, it has few independent reviews so far.

Soleil leaves Luxor on Mondays for 4 nights to Aswan and leaves Aswan on Fridays for 3 nights to Luxor, all year. The temple visits are the same in both directions. Some sailings include a galabiya party evening. Summer is hot, but the rooftop pool and hot tub make the afternoon sail easy. If you want a bathtub with a river view, book a junior suite or higher.
