Princess Sarah I Nile Cruise: Classic Luxor–Aswan Sailing
Princess Sarah I Nile Cruise is a comfortable Nile cruise for travelers who want the classic Upper Egypt route with a sociable onboard atmosphere and a wide range of facilities. The ship operates the familiar weekly pattern between Aswan and Luxor, making it a practical choice for first-time Egypt visitors, couples and families.
Current cruise listings show a 4 Days / 3 Nights sailing from Aswan on Fridays and a 5 Days / 4 Nights sailing from Luxor on Mondays. Exact cabin availability and the selling fare can change by season and departure date, so Pure Nile Tours reconfirms both before booking.
Cabins & Suites
Princess Sarah I is listed with 67 Double Cabins, 1 Junior Suite and 2 Presidential Suites. Cabins feature large panoramic Nile windows that can be opened, individually controlled air conditioning, private bathroom with bathtub, hair dryer, minibar, safe box, international TV channels, internal music and telephone.
Onboard Facilities
The ship offers a restaurant for up to 150 guests, lounge bar, piano and billiards bar, salon/disco, gym, sauna, bazaar, reading area, swimming pool, sun deck and recreation spaces. Internet and laundry services are also listed among the onboard facilities.
4-Day Aswan to Luxor Route
The shorter sailing begins in Aswan and usually combines Philae Temple and the Unfinished Obelisk with sailing north toward Kom Ombo and Edfu before finishing in Luxor. The Luxor section typically includes the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, the Colossi of Memnon, Karnak and Luxor Temple.
5-Day Luxor to Aswan Route
The longer route begins in Luxor with the East and West Bank monuments before sailing south through Edfu and Kom Ombo to Aswan. The extra night gives travelers more time aboard and a less compressed overall rhythm.
Choosing a Princess Sarah I Cabin and Sailing Direction
Princess Sarah I lists 67 Double Cabins, one Junior Suite and two Presidential Suites. Standard cabins have large openable panoramic Nile windows, while suites can suit travelers who prioritize additional space. Before booking, request confirmation of your chosen cabin category, deck location and bed configuration. The distinction matters for families and couples traveling with substantial luggage or preferring a quieter part of the ship.
The Friday Aswan-to-Luxor program is listed as four days and three nights; the Monday Luxor-to-Aswan program is five days and four nights. These are different starting points, so your incoming flight or hotel arrangements should match your selected route. The package description includes full-board accommodation, private guided visits and transfers; tips, personal drinks, internet or laundry charges, and optional Abu Simbel or hot-air-balloon trips are excluded unless separately agreed.
