What makes Opera Nile Cruise different

Opera is the biggest ship in our Luxury collection: 101 cabins and up to 199 guests. If you like a cruise to feel like a busy resort – a crowded pool deck, a full restaurant and plenty of people to meet – this is the ship that delivers it.

With so many cabins, each one is compact at 18 sq m, so Opera suits travelers who are out exploring most of the day. On board you have a swimming pool, a gym and a Jacuzzi, plus WiFi and a private bathroom in every cabin. The ship dates from 2009 and is priced at $560, the same as much smaller ships such as Jaz Nile Monarch – so the choice comes down to whether you prefer a lively crowd or a quiet deck.
