The AmaDahlia will begin cruising in September 2021 offering an 11-night Secrets of Egypt & Nile cruise and land itinerary, which features a seven-night round-trip river cruise from Luxor, paired with three nights pre- and one night post-cruise stays in Cairo.
“We are excited to be coming back to the legendary Nile and introducing a new river cruise experience in Egypt,” said Ama president and co-founder Rudi Schreiner.
“Everything about this new ship and curated itinerary reflects AmaWaterways’ focus on delivering luxurious accommodations, delectable cuisine and enriching experiences designed to engage with local communities and historic sites.”
Carrying 68 guests, AmaDahlia will feature 34 staterooms, 24 of which are balcony suites measuring up to 430 square feet.
Onboard amenities include a sun deck bar and swimming pool, fitness room, hair and nail salon, two massage rooms and two restaurants – The Main Restaurant and The Chef’s Table, offering a seven-course tasting menu.
Guests will be treated to nightly entertainment including a Belly Dance show, a Galabeya (a traditional Egyptian gown) party and a Darawish show.
“Egypt is rich with culture and history and deserves its ranking as one of the most fascinating destinations in the world,” added executive vice-president and co-founder Kristin Karst.
“We continuously search for new ways to expand our offerings, bringing new experiences to our loyal repeat guests as well as attracting new luxury travellers in search of adventure and exploration.”
The Luxor round-trip river cruise and Cairo programme – with domestic flights between Cairo and Luxor – will operate seasonally from September through to May each year.
Optional extensions including pre-programme, three nights in Dubai or four nights in Jordan (Amman and Petra) and post-programme, four nights in Israel (Jerusalem) are also being offered.
Guests who book by 30 June can take advantage of early booking rewards, combinable with AmaWaterways Past Guest Privilege Rewards programme for returning guests.
Ama’s 11-night Secrets of Egypt & Nile itinerary leads in from £3,876pp (including the seven-night cruise from Luxor and four nights in Cairo) with prices based on a category E stateroom on the 10 September 2021 departure, including internal flights.
