Most suites are located on the upper decks, with only six on the lower deck, providing guests with spacious and comfortable accommodations as they journey along the Nile. The cruise sails between Luxor and Aswan, covering approximately 220 kilometers, with overnight stays in Esna or Edfu, and either Luxor or Aswan depending on the itinerary.

For centuries, the Nile River has been an essential lifeline for the Egyptian people, shaping their culture and history during and after the era of the pharaohs. Today, guests can experience this timeless connection aboard the Mojito Nile Cruise, enjoying a blend of authentic Egyptian hospitality and modern luxury. The ship features a sun-drenched sundeck with a swimming pool, elegant dining options offering a variety of cuisines, and evening entertainment programs that bring local culture to life.

The cruise allows visitors to explore Egypt’s most famous archaeological and historical sites. Highlights include the majestic temples and monuments of Luxor such as the Colossi of Memnon, Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, and the vast Karnak Temple Complex.
