MS Royal Beau Rivage launched in September 2022 as one of Egypt's most intelligently designed cruise ships. Spread across four decks plus a sun deck, its interiors combine modern architecture with Egyptian touches — a mosaic-lined lobby, arabesque woodwork in the restaurant, and LED-lit columns that give the ship its distinct character.
Every cabin is fitted with panoramic Nile-view windows that are fully soundproofed, individual air conditioning, FHD flat-screen TV with 300+ channels, mini bar, in-room safe, direct-dial telephone, and a private bathroom with bathtub. The two fourth-deck mini suites offer additional floor space at approximately 22 m².
Onboard, guests have access to a full spa, poolside sun deck bar, 24-hour reception and room service, boutique, currency exchange, and laundry. The restaurant offers daily buffet dining with set-menu à la carte dinners. Advanced HEPA air filtration systems and rigorous hygiene protocols are maintained throughout — reflecting the quality standard the ship was built to from day one.
