About AmaNubia
Debuting in November 2026, AmaNubia carries 76 guests across 38 cabins and 15 suites over five decks, with interiors drawing on ancient Egyptian artistry, Nubian culture and the river itself. Accommodation runs from 215-square-foot French-balcony cabins up through Atrium cabins, Grand Suites of 430 square feet and a 525-square-foot Owner's Suite.
Dining pairs the Journeys Restaurant, serving Western and Egyptian and wider Middle Eastern cuisine, with The Chef's Table tasting menu. A swimming pool sits on the sun deck, and the Lily Deck holds a wellness area with spa and fitness centre. Dedicated Egyptologists lead onboard lectures and guided exploration ashore, and complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi reaches staterooms and public areas.
The ship sails the 11-night Secrets of Egypt & the Nile itinerary as a round trip from Cairo. A half-sister to AmaLilia, she keeps the same small-ship scale.
