What makes MS MayFlower Nile Cruise different

MayFlower is a recently built or refurbished ship (2019) at one of the lowest fares in our Luxury range. For $480 you get a pool, a spa and a gym – the same starting price as MS Hamees, which offers a pool only.

It is a mid-sized ship of 54 cabins and up to 120 guests over five decks, large enough to have a proper lounge bar and restaurant, small enough that the sun deck never feels packed. Cabins are 20 sq m and air-conditioned, with a mini bar. Put together, MayFlower is one of the strongest value picks on the river: a newer ship with wellness facilities, without stepping up to the $560 or $690 fares.
