Oberoi Zahra
About the cruise ship
The Oberoi Zahra is an exceptionally stylish cruise ship that sets a new standard for luxury travel on the Nile. Generous panoramic windows, refined materials, soft tones and an abundance of space – every detail is designed to evoke calm and elegance. With just 27 cabins and suites, Zahra feels like an exclusive boutique hotel on the water. The suites are contemporary, light-filled and thoughtfully appointed, complete with luxurious bathrooms, high-end technology and expansive views across the Nile. A particular highlight is the spa area with several treatment rooms and steam baths, complemented by a generous pool on the upper deck. Gourmet cuisine, elegant lounge spaces and thoughtfully curated evenings complete the experience. Here, the Nile reveals itself in perhaps its most elegant form.
Kids & Teens
The Oberoi Zahra is primarily designed for adult travellers, while also offering families with older children an elegant and comfortable experience. Children aged seven and above are warmly welcomed, without compromising the calm, exclusive atmosphere. The spacious cabins create room for privacy as well as shared family moments. For shore excursions, private family-friendly outings can be arranged, allowing children and teenagers to experience the culture, discover the Nile region or simply enjoy the relaxed atmosphere on board. In this way, a journey aboard Zahra brings together comfort, tranquillity and enriching experiences for the whole family.
Experiences & Activities
The Oberoi Zahra pairs Egypt’s great treasures with a relaxed and luxurious style of travel. On shore excursions, you will visit significant temples and archaeological sites, accompanied by knowledgeable guides and seamless transfers. Each tour is expertly arranged and leaves space to experience Egypt’s history at an unhurried pace. On board, relaxation and indulgence take centre stage: spa treatments, a pool overlooking the Nile, a peaceful sun terrace, lounge evenings with music and a restaurant serving culinary highlights. Your day often ends with warm evening light over the river – a moment not easily forgotten.
