AmaWaterways’ newest ship, AmaLilia, has set sail on Egypt’s Nile River.
The 82-guest ship is now offering the line’s 11-night “Secrets of Egypt & the Nile” cruise and land package. This package includes a seven-night roundtrip river cruise from Luxor, plus three pre-cruise and one post-cruise night at St. Regis Cairo.
AmaLilia will sail the itinerary from September through June every year. She joins AmaDahlia, which set sail on the Nile in 2021.
AmaLilia has 41 staterooms, including 13 suites offering 522 square feet. The vessel also has a sun deck bar and swimming pool, a fitness room, a hair and nail salon, a massage room and two restaurants. Egyptologists join every sailing and join guests on excursions.
“With its rich history and legendary landmarks, Egypt is one of the most fascinating destinations in the world,” says Rudi Schreiner, president and co-founder of AmaWaterways.
“The launch of our second ship in Egypt underscores our confidence in the country's timeless appeal and the unforgettable experiences it offers," Schreiner continued. "We expect to see a surge in travelers eager to witness the beauty of Egypt firsthand."
