About Nebu Nile Cruise
The Nebu carries just 40 cabins across five decks, with every stateroom and suite set on the upper deck behind a panoramic window that opens to the river. Accommodation runs from 301-square-foot French-balcony staterooms through single and executive suites to a 764-square-foot Owner's Suite with a full balcony, and each cabin has an en-suite sitting area and a bathroom with a tub. A set of supplement-free solo cabins makes it a workable choice for those travelling alone.
Onboard life centres on a single-seating main dining room of 80 covers with a live cooking station, alongside a piano bar, a lounge, and breakfast served on the top deck. An outdoor pool with a jacuzzi and bar service, a spa with a gym, sauna and massage rooms, a panoramic elevator and a boutique round out the public spaces.
Itineraries follow the well-worn temple corridor: three nights from Aswan through Kom Ombo and Edfu to Luxor, four nights in the reverse direction via the Esna lock, or a seven-night round trip from Luxor, with an optional extension to Abu Simbel.
