Overview

Why travellers choose the Steigenberger Legacy

The ship

With 76 cabins, Legacy is second only to its sister Steigenberger Minerva in our Luxury category. The size buys a big sun deck and pool; the trade-off is more guests on board than on the smaller Luxury ships.

Cabins

There are 74 double cabins of about 19 m² and 2 suites of about 39 m², over four decks plus the sun deck. Every cabin has large panoramic windows onto the Nile, individual air-conditioning, satellite TV with in-house video channels, a minibar, a safe and a bathroom with a shower and hairdryer. The suites add bathrobes and slippers.

Life on board

Meals are full board in the fine-dining restaurant, and the sun deck has the pool. There is no lift.
