Movenpick MS Hamees, and why the cabin size is stated

This ship publishes what most do not: 66 cabins and suites of over 21 square metres, with private bathroom and bathtub, minibar and LED TV. Only a handful of ships in our catalog quote floor area at all, so when one does it is usually because the number is worth quoting.

At $1,450 per person it sits above the luxury average of $1,354. It is also chartered by Emerald Waterways and Riviera Travel, which means European tour operators put their own customers on it, a reasonable independent signal about standards.

It confirms a sun deck and pool, with a restaurant, lounge and a water purification system on board. It sails Luxor to Aswan via Edfu and Kom Ombo, four or three nights. Compare the per-night cost against booking the same ship through a European operator, which is often higher for the same cabin.

Cruise FAQ

How much does Movenpick Hamees cost?

Starting prices are around $1450 per person in a double cabin. The exact figure depends on cabin category, your dates and group size, and is confirmed at quote stage.

Which direction does it sail?

Both. The ship runs Luxor to Aswan and Aswan to Luxor over 4 or 5 days, so tell us your arrival city and we will confirm which direction is available on your dates.

What are the cabins like?

66 air-conditioned cabins and suites of over 21 square metres, each with a private bathroom including a bathtub, a minibar and an LED TV. That cabin size is generous even within the luxury tier.

Why is it classed as luxury rather than deluxe?

Cabin size, fit-out and service level. It is one of the largest and best-appointed ships in the Movenpick fleet, and it is also chartered by Emerald Waterways and Riviera Travel for their own Egypt programmes.

Is it suitable for families?

Yes. The suites work well for families and the ship has a sun deck pool, though at this price point most guests are couples. Ask us about connecting cabins.

What is included?

Full-board meals, guided shore excursions, entrance fees to the scheduled temples and port taxes. Drinks beyond water, tips and gratuities, personal spending and any Cairo portion are separate.
