A 53-cabin, five-deck Luxury cruiser by Sonesta
Sonesta Nile Goddess was the first Sonesta ship on the Nile: 53 cabins on five decks, launched in 1989 and refurbished in 2002. Every cabin has a bathtub, and four Presidential Suites have a private terrace. It has the lowest starting price in our Luxury category — from $780 per person — and sails 3 nights Aswan to Luxor and 4 nights Luxor to Aswan.
Nile Goddess was Sonesta’s first ship on the Nile, launched in 1989 and refurbished in 2002. It carries up to 106 guests, and it is the least expensive way into our Luxury category — the lowest starting price of any ship in it.
All 53 cabins face the river and sit on three of the five decks: 47 Deluxe cabins of about 20 m², 2 Senator Suites of about 30 m² with a sofa bed that sleeps a third guest, and 4 Presidential Suites with a private terrace. Every one has a bathtub, which is unusual on a Nile ship.
The ship opens around a large atrium. Breakfast and lunch are buffets and dinner is à la carte. The sun deck has a bar, a barbecue area and a splash pool, and there is a spa with a sauna, massage room, whirlpool and gym. Evenings bring belly dancing and folk shows in the lounge. There is no lift.
Two programs, same ship. Pick one, then scroll the days or press play — the boat sails to each stop as you go.
Guide prices only — the exact rate depends on your date, cabin and how full the ship is. Your written quote always confirms the final figure before anything is held.
