Overview

Why travellers choose the Nile Story

The ship

Nile Story was built in 2008 and gives every cabin a French balcony, which is unusual in our Standard category. It also takes solo travellers in a double cabin rather than pushing them into a small single.

Cabins

The 67 cabins and suites run from deluxe cabins up to junior and presidential suites. Each has a private bathroom, air-conditioning and large panoramic windows with a French balcony.

Life on board

There is a swimming pool on a spacious sun deck, a restaurant, spa services and a lounge with entertainment in the evenings. There is no lift.
