OVERVIEW

M/S Sonesta Star Goddess Nile Cruise

The Sonesta Star Goddess is an all-suite luxury cruise, and every suite has its own private terrace. The ship has only 33 suites, each named after a famous composer: Beethoven, Mozart and Chopin. The smallest suite is 35 m², much bigger than a normal cruise cabin.

You sail between Luxor and Aswan and visit Karnak, Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Philae with an English-speaking guide. On board, enjoy the spa, the sun deck bar and barbecue, buffet lunches and à la carte dinners. In the evenings, there is live entertainment, from a Nubian show to a Galabeya party.
