Why travellers choose the Al Hambra
The ship
Al Hambra gives Deluxe prices with suite-sized rooms: all 42 rooms are suites, and they are large for a Nile ship. It is also one of only four Deluxe ships we sell with a lift, with ramps through the public areas as well, so it works for guests who find stairs hard.
Suites
The suites range from about 31 to 51 m² across three accommodation decks. Each has high-speed Wi-Fi, a 32-inch TV with international satellite channels, a direct-dial telephone, a safe, a minibar and a large private bathroom.
Life on board
The spa is the ship’s standout: two levels with an indoor relaxation pool, single and double massage rooms, steam, sauna and Turkish baths, a jacuzzi and a fully equipped gym. Meals are full board, with buffets.
