Oberoi Philae

Note: The Oberoi Philae was decommissioned effective 31st May, 2011 for a period of 18 months. The Oberoi Philae will be rebuilt as a luxury Nile cruiser with large cabins, luxury bathrooms and a spa. After the vessel is re-commissioned, it will be one of the best vessels on the Nile.

The Oberoi Philae - Nile Cruiser, offers guests a cruise on the Nile along the landmarks of an ancient civilization. The journey begins in Luxor or Aswan and courses through Pharaonic dynasties that span thousands of years. Elegant interiors with teak paneling, parquet floors, European antiques and Oriental carpets create an ambience of luxury. Impeccable service and a beautiful setting come together to make this a voyage of discovery.

Built on the lines of an Edwardian Paddlesteamer, The Oberoi Philae offers extraordinary levels of comfort and turn of the (last) century elegance. All cabins and suites have a private balcony.
The Oberoi Philae has been awarded the title "Best Cruiser on the Nile" for the fifth consecutive year. It has also received a Green Globe award from the Egyptian Ministry of the Environment for the last three years. There simply is no finer way to travel down this historic waterway than aboard on The Oberoi Philae.
