The newest addition to the AmaWaterways fleet, AmaDahlia will bring you through the heart of Egypt where you experience the waterway that is central and vital to so many communities. Passengers will find themselves surrounded by flourishing palm trees, fertile plantations and millennia-old attractions -- many of which are designated UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Top attractions include the Great Hypostyle Hall at the Karnak Temple, the Temple of Luxor and the fascinating Valley of the Kings and Queens. You also will get exclusive private access to the Tomb of Queen Nefertari and a Nubian village.
In Cairo, you'll have access to all the historic and cultural gems of this great capital city and region. Come face-to-face with Egyptian treasures like the 4,000-year-old Great Sphinx and Pyramids of Giza, the Egyptian Museum (featuring the exquisite collections of King Tut) and a private tour of the principal workplace of the president of Egypt, the Abdeen Presidential Palace, considered one of the most luxurious palaces in the world.
"Egypt is rich with culture and history, and deserves its ranking as one of the most fascinating destinations in the world," said Kristin Karst, executive vice president and co-founder of AmaWaterways. "We continuously search for new ways to expand our offerings, bringing new experiences to our loyal repeat guests as well as attracting new luxury travelers in search of adventure and exploration."
AmaDahlia is a smaller ship, and it will carry up to 68 passengers. So, you get an intimate experience cruising with your fellow travelers. The ship will feature 34 luxurious staterooms, 24 of which are spacious balcony suites measuring up to 430 square feet. Onboard amenities include a sun deck bar and swimming pool, fitness room, hair and nail salon, two massage rooms and two restaurants, The Main Restaurant and The Chef's Table (offering a seven-course tasting menu).
Expect nightly entertainment that reflects the heritage of Egypt. These include belly dancing, a Galabeya (a traditional Egyptian gown) party and a Darawish (whirling dervish) show.
The river cruise, sailing round trip from Luxor, and Cairo program -- with intra-Egypt flights between Cairo and Luxor -- will operate seasonally from September through to May each year. To complement this immersive 11-night cruise and land adventure, these cruise deals will be offered with optional extensions. You can book one of the pre-cruise programs: three nights in Dubai or four nights in Jordan (Amman and Petra). AmaWaterways also has a post-cruise package: four nights in Israel (Jerusalem).
Have you been to Egypt? This new AmaWaterways' river ship and program sounds like the ideal way to see all the top sites in comfort and style.
