Mövenpick MS Royal Lotus
Description
The Mövenpick MS Royal Lotus kind of feels like a five-star floating luxury home, made to give you this unforgettable, slowly sailing experience along the famous Nile River, between Luxor and Aswan. It blends modern comfort with a more classic kind of elegance, so guests get an intimate and calm way to wander around Egypt, without rushing too much, seeing ancient temples, tombs and those scenic river views that stay in your mind.
Features and Stays
Room comforts and suites: Inside you’ll find well thought-out cabins and suites, each one with big panoramic windows so you don’t miss the river moments. Most rooms come with air conditioning, private bathrooms with showers, satellite TV, a minibar, plus a personal safe, just in case.
Food and dining: The ship has an onboard restaurant that offers a mix of international buffet choices and real Egyptian flavors, cooked by skilled chefs. If you feel like something lighter, there’s afternoon tea on the sun deck, or you can just unwind with drinks at the lounge bar
Leisure and wellness
There’s a roomy sun deck with an outdoor swimming pool, and plenty of comfortable loungers for sunbathing while you watch the Nile banks slide by.
A fitness zone is also available, for guests who prefer keeping some routine while traveling.
And for real down time, there’s an onboard spa, plus massage services, for that slow relaxed feeling.
