Tui to operate second Nile ship next winter following ‘strong demand’ for first
Tui River Cruises will operate a second ship on the River Nile during the 2025/26 winter season following the successful launch of its first.
Tui Bahareya will operate seven-night all-inclusive round-trip sailings from Luxor with two itineraries. Both include Aswan, Kom Ombo and Edfu, with packages from £1,499pp.
The launch follows strong demand for Tui Al Horeya, which debuted the Tui brand on the Nile last winter.
The refurbished Tui Bahareya accommodates 136 passengers in 68 cabins and is accessed via weekly flights from Gatwick and Manchester to Luxor. Flights will operate on Tuesday from 4 November 2025 until 21 April 2026.
Katy Berzins, head of Tui River Cruises, said: “This ship signifies our continued growth as a relatively new river cruise brand, and we are confident that given sales for our first Nile cruise, the launch of Tui Bahareya will go down really well with current and prospective customers.”
The ship will include a top deck swimming pool, massage tent, entertainment area, restaurant, alfresco dining, and a shop. Licensed Egyptologists will be on hand throughout the trip.
Two excursions are included within the package, to the Temple of Horus in Edfu and to the Kom Ombo temple.
