Sailing the Nile is one of the most memorable ways to see Egypt, on the stretch that links Luxor and Aswan. You can travel by night to enjoy uninterrupted rest in the same suite and wake up each morning to a different view steeped in history! One of the best ways to experience this is through a Sonesta cruise between Luxor and Aswan.

With three-, four-, and seven-night itineraries from Aswan to Luxor, you’ll visit some of the region’s most iconic sights—from temples to tombs, and ruins—all while relaxing in modern comfort. You’ll witness thousands of years of history unfold from the deck of a 5-star floating hotel during your Sonesta cruise from Luxor to Aswan.

A luxury cruise aboard the Sonesta Star Goddess

Among Sonesta’s standout ships is the Sonesta Star Goddess, designed exclusively with spacious suites — 33 in total, each with its own private balcony.

Start your day or refuel at midday in the Main Dining Room, where breakfast and lunch are served buffet-style (unless you’re part of a smaller group, in which case lunch becomes a more intimate a la carte experience). Dinner always ...
... leans refined, with a full à la carte menu.
Craving fresh air with your meal? Head to the Sun Deck for cocktails and sweeping river views, plus open-air barbecue that turns casual dining into something memorable. For something lighter, stop by the Lounge near the lobby. It’s part bar, part dance floor, and often features live entertainment. Prefer to stay in? In-room dining runs until midnight, so you can settle in with something good without leaving your suite.
