    A ship owned by a hotel chain, and saying so

    The MS Sonesta St. George belongs to an American hotel chain, which operates a collection of Nile vessels and sells them directly on its own site. The river cruise line chartered her for its Egyptian tours. It no longer lists her in its fleet, and our inventory shows no departure date.

    The case deserves naming because it recurs in this trade: a ship sold under a cruise brand's banner sometimes belongs to a group with nothing to do with cruising. That says nothing about quality. It says who answers for what if something goes wrong.

    What she is

    Around seventy-five metres, fifty-seven staterooms, one hundred and fourteen travellers, a crew of seventy. Built in 2006. Every stateroom has large sliding windows opening onto a balcony. An oversized pool with a shallow section and a hot tub on the sun deck, a lift, a spa with sauna and steam room, a main lounge with a dance floor and a piano bar.

    On the breakdown of stateroom categories, the owner's site and a cruise database contradict each other about the upper grades while agreeing on the total of fifty-seven. We follow the owner's site.

    Two documented limits: Wi-Fi is charged aboard, unlike on the Nile ship the line runs today, and no major refit is documented since 2006. No wheelchair accessibility information is published either.

    The active ships in the fleet

    The MS Farah holds the Nile for the line today. The Avalon Saigon holds the Mekong. The Delfin III sails the Peruvian Amazon. The Avalon Alegria is the Douro ship.

    Arranging this trip from Quebec

    The flight to Europe or to the destination is not included in the cruise fare. From Montreal the connection is direct to several cities in season, and routed through one connection the rest of the year or for the far destinations.

    Plan one night ahead before embarkation, two if the time difference is large. That margin is used exactly once, but on that day it saves the trip. Keep the return day free as well.

    We build the complete file, flight, cruise, hotels, transfers, insurance, under the protection of Quebec's compensation fund for travel agency customers. One call is enough to check what the season really allows.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    An American hotel chain, which operates a collection of Nile vessels and sells them directly on its own site. The cruise line chartered her for its Egyptian tours.
    No. She no longer appears in the fleet it publishes and our inventory shows no dates. Her hotel-group owner continues to market her directly on the Nile.
    Because it determines who answers for what if something goes wrong aboard. It says nothing about the quality of the ship, which can be excellent, but everything about the chain of responsibility.
    Around seventy-five metres, fifty-seven staterooms, one hundred and fourteen travellers, a crew of seventy. She was built in 2006 and sails between Luxor and Aswan.
    Yes, an oversized pool with a shallow section and a hot tub on the sun deck. The ship also has a lift and a spa with sauna and steam room.
    No, it is charged aboard. That is a documented difference from the Nile ship the line runs today, where the connection appears among the announced inclusions, though without guarantee.
    All have large sliding windows opening onto a balcony. The presidential suites and the royal suite are markedly larger than the standard grades.
    On the total of fifty-seven, yes. On the breakdown of the upper grades, the owner's site and a cruise database contradict each other. We follow the owner's site.
    No major refit is documented since her construction in 2006. We prefer to flag that gap rather than let anyone assume an overhaul that nothing confirms.
    No accessibility information is published for this ship. Having a lift helps, but Egyptian quays, gangways and archaeological sites remain very demanding.
    The Esna locks, between Luxor and Aswan, where ships sometimes queue for hours. That is a constraint of the river, independent of the ship and the line.
    Winter, November to March. From May to September Upper Egypt regularly passes forty degrees in the shade, which is why the temples are visited early in the morning.
    The MS Farah, a 2011 vessel run by an Egyptian shipowner, with a pool, a lift, a spa and a French balcony in every stateroom. She is its only Egyptian ship in 2026.
    Often yes, with another ship or another brand. Write to us describing the trip you had in mind and we will check what really exists, without selling you an approximation.
    We first check what actually exists on the date you have in mind, then build flight, lodging, cruise, transfers and insurance into one file, under the protection of Quebec's compensation fund for travel agency customers.
