Uniworld River Cruises’ newest ship, Sphinx, embarked on a 12-day Nile river cruise on Wednesday (20 October) as it marked its debut in Egypt.
The ship will operate a Splendors of Egypt and The Nile itinerary, which includes four nights in Cairo at the beginning and end of the sailing, all meals, wine, spirits, excursions, airport transfers and onboard gratuities. Prices lead in at £5,129pp.
Sphinx features a private dining room, an alfresco experience on the upper deck, a swimming pool, massage room and 42 suites.
Ellen Bettridge, chief executive and president of Uniworld River Cruises, said the line is "overjoyed" to sail along the Nile river and provide "an unmatched look at the destination".
"We’re excited for our guests to experience the ship as it fully embodies what they love most when sailing with us, exquisite design and experiences they won’t find anywhere else," Bettridge added.
"Everything from the artwork to the ceilings to the ship’s bow was thought out and sourced by the local community."
