MS Champollion

MS Champollion is a 5-star deluxe floating hotel cruising on the Nile between Luxor and Aswan. All rooms, reception, restaurant were completely renovated in July 2023.

The ship is originally built in classic design. During the re-modelling of the interiors we preserved the classic art themes of the original body of the ship, transformed into modern colours and renewed the interiors in minimalist design.

Room, lobbies, restaurant are decorated with individually painted modern art paintings.

MS Champollion cabins have large panorama windows that can be opened so you can enjoy the view of the Nile, the palms and the desert… even from the comfort of your bed! All cabins have en-suite, spacious, pre-fabricated bathrooms with marble floors and wall decorations, full glass shower cabins with jet panels, toiletries, hairdryer.
