Arguably the best cruise on the Nile
The latest in luxury on the Nile, the exquisite Oberoi Philae, was re-launched in October 2015 following a spectacular refurbishment and is our preferred choice for a Nile cruise if you want to discover Upper Egypt in unparalleled style and comfort.
The Oberoi Philae stands out from the crowd in many ways, from its mouth-watering cuisine, exceptional service, and attention to detail to its onboard facilities. While aboard the Oberoi Philae, you will be one of a select pampered few as accommodation is in only 22 spacious cabins and suites, each of which benefits from butler service.
Luxury cabins (36 sqm) are beautifully appointed in a contemporary style and feature a seating area, a large panoramic window that can be opened, a luxury tiled bathroom, a 40” LCD television with internet, a coffee machine, a minibar, electronic safe and wireless and wired internet. Luxury suites (54 sqm) are perfect if you would like to enjoy more space, while for the ultimate accommodation on the Nile, the Oberoi Philae’s two top suites (54 sqm) have the added luxury of a private terrace and Jacuzzi (30 sqm).
Mooring is always at a private dock, and with departure dates that are a day later than most cruises, you can experience a leisurely four- or six-night cruise on an emptier Nile. Enhancing your journey into five thousand years of Egyptian history are the services of an Egyptologist and sightseeing excursions in small luxury coaches.
Audio-visual presentations are held aboard to prepare you for the fantastic sites ahead. Relaxation is always a key part of any Nile cruise, and on the Philae, you may rejuvenate your senses with wellness options that include therapy rooms, a swimming pool, and a gym.
A cruise on the Oberoi Philae will enable you to discover the wonders of the Nile like never before.
