Travelmarvel unveils new Nile river ship ahead of 2026 Egypt return

Travelmarvel is set to return to the storied Nile River in September 2026, marking its long-awaited comeback to Egypt with the launch of its brand-new ship, Travelmarvel Sirius.

Offering just 62 cabins and a contemporary design infused with classic Egyptian and colonial elements, Sirius promises an elegant, intimate journey through the heart of ancient civilisation.

About the ship

Named after the brightest star in the night sky—revered in ancient Egypt as the celestial signal of the Nile’s annual flood—Travelmarvel Sirius continues the brand’s constellation-inspired naming tradition. Its interiors, developed by Studio L in collaboration with Travelmarvel’s own design team, will feature inviting social spaces, a generous pool deck and cabin layouts that reflect the timeless romance of Nile cruising.

From her home port in Luxor, Travelmarvel Sirius will visit Egypt’s most iconic historical sites including Karnak, Dendera, Esna, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan. A standout feature of the itinerary is a private charter flight to the awe-inspiring Abu Simbel temples—an exclusive inclusion designed to elevate the overall experience.

“This is not just a return to Egypt—it’s a new benchmark for value, design and immersion,” said David Cox, CEO of Travelmarvel.

“With Sirius, we’re creating a journey that is thoughtfully paced and effortlessly enriching.”

Travelmarvel is offering a special early preview of its 2026 Egypt program, with the 11-day Treasures of Egypt and the Nile itinerary now available to book. Prices start at $6,395 per person, with earlybird savings of up to $4,600 per couple.
