Hilton and Middle East For Nile Cruisers have announced the signing of Waldorf Astoria Nile River Experience, with sailings starting in late 2026. The experience will marry the hotel brand’s elegant service with Egypt’s most treasured landmarks.
The 4- and 6-night experience will see guests travel down-river from Luxor to Aswan or up-river from Aswan to Luxor, with private docks in both locations. Along the way, guests will be able to take in the temples in Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, and many more cultural attractions in Esna, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan—with each stop offering insight into Egypt’s rich history. Guests will enjoy true Waldorf Astoria service throughout the stay experience delivered by dedicated personal concierges.
The Waldorf Astoria Nile River Experience will feature five decks and 29 suites, each offering breathtaking views. Elevated amenities will feature throughout, with a state-of-the-art fitness center and a spa, an array of food and drink experiences, including Waldorf Astoria’s signature Peacock Alley, a brasserie serving Egyptian, Mediterranean and international cuisine, and a rooftop deck.
“Waldorf Astoria is in an incredible new era of luxury, creating unforgettable, immersive experiences in the most sought-after destinations,” said Dino Michael, Sr. VP and Global Head, Hilton Luxury Brands, in a press release statement. “This year and beyond, the brand is set to define its global position with the anticipated opening of the legendary Waldorf Astoria New York, and debuting in destinations including the most recent openings in Osaka and Costa Rica, and into the future with Sydney, London, Jaipur and many more. This new destination experience offers guests a spectacular view of Egypt, and we look forward to welcoming guests aboard this one-of-a-kind experience when it launches next year.”
