We list 4: Jaz Bahareya (68 cabins), Jaz Celebrity (70 cabins), Jaz Crown Jewel (80 cabins), Jaz Imperial (50 cabins).
Which Jaz Cruises ship should I choose?
They sail the same river and call at the same temples, so the choice is the ship rather than the route: for the newest interiors, Jaz Bahareya, refitted in 2025; for the lowest nightly rate we can verify, Jaz Bahareya at US$116 per person per night; and for the quietest ship, Jaz Imperial at 50 cabins. Tell us who is travelling and we will narrow it to one.
