Good to know
La Sarah is a 59-cabin motor cruiser in our standard & independent tier, sailing the classic Luxor to Aswan corridor on itineraries of 3, 4 or 7 nights. Pick it to see the same temples for less; comfort varies more at this end of the river, so judge the real photos and specs before you commit. Rates move with season and cabin, so every sailing is quoted live.

About La Sarah
La Sarah is a 72-metre, five-deck ship built in 1996 and refurbished in 2019, carrying up to 118 guests in 59 rooms. Most are twin or double cabins, 23 of them doubles, and there are two Junior Suites of 26 square metres.
A sun deck with a swimming pool and bar sits above the restaurant and a lounge with its own bar, and the ship also has a gym, a spa and a 24-hour reception. Saturday departures from Luxor cover both the four-night sailing to Aswan and the seven-night cruise, while a three-night sailing runs the other way from Aswan to Luxor. The 14-metre beam spreads the cabins across the ship's five decks.
