Amwaj Living Stone Nile Cruise Description
Amwaj Living Stone Nile Cruise carries an official 5 Stars rating from the Egyptian Tourism Authority, is rated as a Luxury cruise in our editorial standards, has 62 cabins, with a size of 20 m². Each cabin features a large panoramic window facing the Nile. That count puts the vessel in the larger category — a useful middle ground where dining rooms stay relaxed and shore excursions don't bottleneck on the gangway.
Setting a brilliant standard for ultra-deluxe navigation since its launch in late 2014, the M/S Amwaj Living Stone offers a supremely elegant voyage along the legendary River Nile. Characterized by its modern contemporary decor and highly advanced onboard hygiene systems, this five-star riverboat guarantees a seamless journey between the monumental cities of Luxor and Aswan. It functions as a luxurious mobile resort, allowing holidaymakers to trace the passage of pharaonic history without sacrificing a single moment of modern comfort. Whether observing rural river life from the topmost deck or retiring to beautifully appointed interiors, passengers are enveloped in a highly sophisticated maritime atmosphere.
Picture it: the desert breeze on the sun deck, a glass of karkadé in hand as palm-fringed banks drift by, and the timeless silhouette of a temple emerging at dusk. Aboard Amwaj Living Stone, the journey itself becomes the destination — comfortable, elegant, and paced so you can simply take it all in. The great monuments of Upper Egypt await by day; calm, well-appointed comfort welcomes you back each evening.
🛏️ Accommodation
The ship’s residential footprint is expertly distributed across multiple decks, housing a total of 62 highly refined quarters to suit various travel preferences. This includes 46 Standard Cabins (20 sq.m.), 12 spacious Junior Suites (30 sq.m.), 2 Presidential Suites (40 sq.m.), and 2 massive Royal Suites (50 sq.m.). Rather than utilizing exterior verandas, every single accommodation is fronted by a stunning, full-length panoramic picture window that floods the room with natural light and uninterrupted river scenery. Standard in-room comforts feature an individual climate-control system, an en-suite bathroom with a full bathtub and hairdryer, an LCD television, an electronic safe, and a stocked mini-fridge.

🍽️ Dining & Cuisine
Gastronomy on the vessel is anchored by the spacious Main Dining Room located on the lower deck, which serves up a lavish rotation of international and regional buffet spreads for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For relaxation between meals, the top-level Sun Deck Bar pours an array of chilled beverages and exotic cocktails against a spectacular desert backdrop. When evening arrives, the stylish Tanya Lounge—complete with a dedicated dance floor—becomes the ship’s primary social hub, offering premium drinks and a lively atmosphere.
🌊 Leisure & Entertainment
Recreation is highly prioritized throughout the Amwaj Living Stone’s layout. The expansive 250-square-meter sun deck acts as an outdoor oasis, boasting a beautiful swimming pool alongside a rejuvenating open-air Jacuzzi and plenty of shaded sunbeds. Guests seeking deep relaxation can retreat to the onboard wellness center, which features a complimentary steam bath, a sauna, and professional massage therapies to melt away the fatigue of temple exploration. Practical passenger conveniences include comprehensive room service, an onboard laundry facility, a boutique gift shop, and an on-call medical clinic.
✨ What Makes It Unique

Furthermore, the inclusion of robust wellness facilities such as a steam bath, sauna, and an open-air Jacuzzi significantly elevates its profile above standard Nile cruisers.

Why Book With Nile-Cruise-Egypt.com?
We’ve spent 25+ years booking Nile cruises and treat every reservation as the start of a long-term relationship, not a one-off transaction. Here’s what that means in practice:
- Honest cruise matching, not the highest commission — we recommend the boat that fits your budget, dates, and travel style, even when it isn’t the one paying us the most.
- One named consultant from enquiry to disembarkation — you won’t be passed between agents or talk to a different person each time you email.
- No bait pricing — the rate you see is the rate you pay; cabin upgrades, optional excursions, and seasonal supplements are quoted up-front, never sprung at checkout.
- Operator-direct rates — we work directly with Nile cruise operators, so what you pay is comparable to booking the boat yourself, with the added safety net of our support throughout.
- Egypt-based, on-the-ground support — our office is in Cairo, not a call centre in another country; if something needs fixing during your trip, we can act on it locally and immediately.
- Most travellers return or refer us — repeat bookings and word-of-mouth referrals make up the majority of our work, which is the only customer-satisfaction metric we trust.
From your first enquiry through to disembarkation, our priority is honest guidance, peace of mind, and a Nile cruise you’ll remember as a personal experience — not just a trip.
Family Travel, Made Effortless
A Nile cruise is one of the easiest ways to travel Egypt with family. Unpack once — your floating hotel moves with you, so there are no early-morning hotel checkouts, no repacking, and no long road transfers between cities. You wake up already at the next temple.
We take the logistics off your plate so you can focus on the experience:
- Transfers handled — airport pickups and all moves between the boat and the sites are arranged for you.
- Meals included — full-board dining on board, so there’s no hunting for restaurants with tired, hungry children.
- Expert Egyptologist guides — licensed guides bring the temples to life at a pace that keeps all ages engaged.
- Everything in one place — pool, dining, sun deck and cabins together, so families stay close and relaxed between excursions.
The result: less stress, fewer logistics, and more time making memories together.
A Shared Ship, Your Own Experience
You travel alongside other guests, but your experience stays very much your own. The ship is the setting — how you enjoy it is up to you.
- Your private cabin — every cabin has its own en-suite bathroom and individual climate control, so your space is entirely yours, set to your comfort.
- Dine your way — share a table and meet fellow travellers, or keep to yourselves; the choice is yours at every meal.
- Private excursions on request — prefer to explore the temples with your own guide and vehicle rather than the group? We can arrange private touring for you.
- Your own pace — join every activity or simply relax on the sun deck and watch the Nile drift by. Nothing is compulsory.
It’s the ease of a guided cruise with the privacy and flexibility of independent travel.
Why Book Now Rather Than Later
There’s no pressure here — but there are real, practical reasons not to leave Amwaj Living Stone sitting in a browser tab. Booking now removes risk rather than adding it:
- Cabins and dates are limited — each boat sails on a fixed schedule with a fixed number of cabins. Popular dates and the best cabin categories sell first; once a departure fills, no amount of budget brings it back.
- Today’s price can rise — Nile cruise rates move with fuel costs, temple entrance fees, and government taxes. When those go up, published prices follow. The figure you see today is not guaranteed to be there next month.
- Your deposit locks today’s price — place your 20% deposit and the rate you were quoted is held for your booking, even if prices rise afterwards. You are protected from increases the moment you confirm.
- There’s no downside to securing it — with a low 20% deposit, 0% interest instalments on the balance, and free date, cruise, and name changes, booking early costs you nothing in flexibility. You simply lock the cabin and the price, and keep your options open.
In short: waiting risks losing your cabin or paying more, while booking now secures both — with every guarantee below standing behind your reservation.
