Luxury hotel brand Waldorf Astoria will begin offering river cruises on the Nile next year. 

Waldorf Astoria parent company Hilton and Middle East For Nile Cruisers announced the Waldorf Astoria Nile River Experience. Waldorf Astoria will offer four- and six-night itineraries on the Nile beginning in late 2026.

Passengers will travel from Luxor to Aswan or the reverse. The ship will stop at ancient temples in Luxor, the Valley of the Kings, Esna, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan. The brand has secured private docks in Luxor and Aswan. 

"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," said Dino Michael, senior vice president and global head of Hilton's luxury brands.

The ship has five decks and 29 suites and includes a fitness center and spa. Dining options include Waldorf Astoria's signature Peacock Alley, a brasserie and a rooftop deck. The cuisine will feature Egyptian, Mediterranean and international dishes. 

More details, including booking and itinerary information, are not immediately available.
