About Mövenpick SB Feddya
The Mövenpick SB Feddya is a two-deck sailboat with only four suites for eight guests: two Panorama Suites of twenty-four square metres and two Senior Suites of twenty-two and a half, each opening onto an eight square metre private balcony over the Nile. Every suite has its own dedicated twenty-four-hour butler.
Itineraries of four to seven nights run in both directions between Luxor and Aswan, past Esna, Edfu and Kom Ombo, and are tailor-made rather than fixed to a schedule. The boat moors at a private dock in Luxor's Al Bughdadi District. Meals are prepared to order in a seventeen square metre dining room with an adjoining patio, with a thirty-five square metre lounge bar for afternoon tea and evening entertainment.
A shaded sun deck with loungers runs above. With so few guests and a butler to each suite, it is about as private and personal as sailing the Nile gets.
