MS Acamar and what a complete facilities set means

The Acamar is a five-star ship distinguished less by one standout feature than by having a complete set of them: well-appointed cabins, full sun deck facilities, a spa, restaurant, lounge and reception. At $1,220 per person it is below the luxury average of $1,354 without being at the bottom of the tier.

That matters because the luxury tier on the Nile is not uniform. Several ships at this level are suite-only vessels that trade facility breadth for cabin size, while others are larger ships with more on board and more ordinary rooms. The Acamar sits on the second side of that trade.

It sails northbound from Aswan to Luxor, calling at Kom Ombo and Edfu, over four or three nights. Pick it if you want the full luxury package and would rather not pay the premium that suite-only ships command for floor area you may not spend much time in.

Cruise FAQ

What makes MS Acamar a luxury ship?

It is a five-star vessel with well-appointed cabins, a full sun deck and a spa or wellness area, sailing the Aswan to Luxor route. It sits in the luxury tier without the suite-only pricing of the very top ships.

What does it cost across the year?

Rates step up through the year: lowest from June to August, a little higher in the May and September shoulder months, higher again in the October to April high season, with Easter and the Christmas and New Year sailings the most expensive dates of all. Send us your dates and we will confirm the exact figure.

How does it compare with a deluxe ship on the same route?

The itinerary is identical. What you are paying for is cabin quality, a less crowded sun deck, better service ratios and smaller excursion groups. Whether that is worth roughly double depends on how much of the trip you spend on board.

Which direction does it sail?

Aswan to Luxor, northbound. Philae Temple and the High Dam first, then Kom Ombo and Edfu, finishing with Karnak and the Valley of the Kings at Luxor.

Is it a good choice for a honeymoon?

Yes, and the northbound direction helps: you start in Aswan, which is the calmest city on the route, and end in Luxor where onward flights are easiest.

What is not included?

Drinks beyond water, tips and gratuities, personal spending and any Cairo portion of the trip. Meals, guided excursions, scheduled temple entrance fees and port taxes are covered.
