Overview
The Tamr Henna Nile Cruise is one of the most elegantly outfitted 5-star deluxe ships currently sailing between Luxor and Aswan. Originally a well-established Nile vessel, the ship underwent a complete renovation in late 2023 followed by a further upgrade in early 2024 — the result is a cruise that feels entirely new, with fresh luxury interiors, modern amenities, and the warmth of attentive Egyptian hospitality that returning guests describe as genuinely exceptional.
At 72 metres long and 13.5 metres wide, the Tamr Henna strikes the right balance between generous public spaces and an intimate guest experience. The 38 cabins and suites range from 20 m² Deluxe Cabins with panoramic Nile views to a 52 m² Family Suite with two rooms and two bathrooms. All accommodation features 100% Egyptian cotton bed linens, fully stocked complimentary mini-bar, 24-hour in-room dining, and complimentary Wi-Fi throughout.
Two itinerary options are available: a 4-day / 3-night cruise departing Aswan every Friday from $849 per person (summer season), and a 5-day / 4-night cruise departing Luxor every Monday from $1,079 per person (summer season). Winter prices (October–April) start from $1,299 per person. Both packages include full-board meals, all temple entrance fees, a private Egyptologist, and air-conditioned transfers throughout.
