MS Steigenberger Legacy Overview
About: Imagine waking up to the sunrise over the Nile from the comfort of your private cabin. The Steigenberger Legacy Nile Cruise is more than a ship, it’s a floating hotel crafted for travelers who love both luxury and discovery. With 76 well designed cabins spread across 4 decks, the main and upper deck cabins have large panoramic sliding windows, and suites have balconies. Every guest enjoys a blend of modern amenities and timeless Egyptian charm. Panoramic windows, individually controlled air conditioning, mini bars, and en suite bathrooms bring hotel style comfort to the river. Between excursions, guests unwind on the sun deck with a pool, sip cocktails at the lounge bar, or dine in the restaurant where international cuisine is paired with authentic Egyptian flavors.
Highlights: What makes the Steigenberger Legacy Cruise Itinerary special is its flexibility: you can choose 3 nights from Aswan, 4 nights from Luxor, or a full 7 night journey that lets you sail deeper into history. Each sailing includes the must see treasures of Egypt, the Philae Temple and High Dam in Aswan, the dual temple of Kom Ombo, the Edfu Temple of Horus, and the royal tombs at the Valley of the Kings in Luxor. Evenings are just as memorable: a traditional Galabiya party, live music, and cultural performances give travelers a taste of Egyptian hospitality on board. Optional tours like Abu Simbel or a felucca ride add more layers to your adventure. For comparing options, you can also view our Luxor and Aswan Nile Cruise collection, which includes different categories from Standard to Luxury.
