Tour Overview
The MS Le Fayan Nile cruise is a contemporary five-star ship between Luxor and Aswan, known for cabins with floor-to-ceiling windows and suites with their own living areas. It departs on Mondays and Thursdays, and from September to April a 3-night cruise starts at $1,101 per person in a triple cabin.
Windows, suites and space
The floor-to-ceiling windows are the point here: the river is in view from your bed, which matters on a trip where the landscape is half the attraction. Travelers who want more room can step up to a suite with a separate living area. On deck there is a pool and sun deck, and a spa offers treatments after a morning in the temples. These details place Le Fayan among the better-equipped ships in our ultra deluxe Nile cruise range.
Fares, September to April
| Per person | 3 nights | 4 nights |
|---|---|---|
| Triple cabin | $1,101 | $1,325 |
| Double cabin | $1,176 | $1,411 |
| Single cabin | $1,789 | $2,178 |
Which length to book
The fourth night adds $235 per person in a double cabin. That extra day eases the pace in Luxor and leaves room for the Valley of the Kings without rushing. The 3-night option suits a tighter schedule. Whichever you pick, the ship calls at Edfu and Kom Ombo between the two cities.
Your fare includes
Airport meet and greet, private air-conditioned transfers, full board on the ship, private sightseeing in Luxor and Aswan with an English-speaking guide, entrance fees for the sites on the itinerary, service charges and taxes. International flights, the visa, optional tours and tips are excluded.
Adding to the cruise
The published season runs from September to April. Large windows are at their best in the cooler months, when you can sit inside with the river in full view during the warm middle of the day and head out on deck in the late afternoon light. Couples in particular tend to like the suite layout, since the separate living area makes the cabin feel less like a hotel room on water.
Le Fayan pairs well with a few nights in Cairo before or after; see our pyramids and Nile cruise tours. From Aswan, the Abu Simbel road trip is a long but rewarding day. For any other change, ask about tailor-made tours.
