The dahabieh Abydos is an elegant, traditional Egyptian vessel providing luxury cruises on the Nile. You’ll discover the treasures of ancient Egypt in pure comfort surrounded by refined decor and an intimate ambiance. The ship combines the charm of times gone by with modern conveniences for an unforgettable vacation.

The dahabieh Abydos is a magnificent, small-size luxury ship measuring 45 meters long and 8 m wide (148 and 26 feet, respectively). The vessel accommodates 18 passengers in nine cabins spread out over one deck. Each cabin has a surface area of 9.5 square meters (102 sq. ft.), except for two suites that have an area of 12.6 square meters (135.6 sq. ft.). We provide everything you need to enjoy your vacation to the hilt.

The tasteful traditional and modern decor adds to the elegant and friendly ambiance. Exotic woods, elaborate textiles, and ancient Egyptian motifs decorate the cabins and common areas. Polished teak furniture and copper fixtures add warmth to an already intimate ambiance.

The Sun Deck, a haven for relaxation and fun, offers a wide-open view of the Nile and its banks. You’ll find comfortable chaise lounges to catch some rays, as well as shaded areas to relax.

The open-air lounge has couches with fluffy cushions, where you can have a drink while admiring the scenery. Meals are served outside under a canopy or simply the stars.

The cuisine is an exceptional gourmet experience highlighting authentic Egyptian savors. Talented chefs prepare the meals using fresh, local ingredients.

The buffet breakfast offers a variety of fruits, pastries, and Egyptian specialties. You’ll enjoy table service at lunch and dinner, with a choice of several dishes—including mezes, delicious main courses, and exquisite desserts.

Tipping habits vary according to the country and culture. At CroisiEurope, tips are collected globally at the end of the trip and shared equally among all the crew members.

This attention from our passengers allows us to show that they have appreciated the quality of the services and the attention that was given to them during the cruise, at all levels.

How much should I leave? A tip of between £5 and £10 per day and per person is an average, but each passenger is free to give what he or she wishes. An envelope is left in your cabin during your last evening on board. Put it in the box provided for this purpose at the ship's reception desk when you disembark.
