Mövenpick is a Swiss hotel brand founded in Zurich in 1948 and owned by the French group Accor since 2018. It is a hotel brand rather than an Egyptian shipping line, so the boats are marketed and booked through Accor's systems. The fleet ranges from the historic 1918 steamer SS Misr to modern cruisers of sixty cabins and more.
