After AmaWaterways' AmaDahlia celebrated the end of its inaugural season on Egypt's legendary Nile River last week, the luxury river cruise company announced today that it will launch a second ship in Egypt. The second vessel, named AmaLilia after the sacred blue water lily of ancient Egypt, will set sail in 2024 to meet the growing demand for this exotic offering.
Like AmaDahlia, AmaLilia will sail the Secrets of Egypt and the Nile itinerary, offering an unparalleled 11-night cruise-and-land experience, including a seven-night round-trip river cruise from Luxor, along with a three-night pre-cruise and one-night post-cruise stay in historic Cairo. Like its sister ship, AmaLilia will be thoughtfully designed with regionally inspired décor, spacious cabins and suites, and a specialty restaurant included in the river cruise fare.
“It’s exciting to expand our river cruise offerings on the legendary Nile River with AmaLilia, which will be another stunning and intimate ship,” said Kristin Karst, Executive Vice President and Co-founder of AmaWaterways. “Egypt is one of the world’s most fascinating destinations, and we’ve seen such wonderful interest from both our loyal and new guests since launching our first ship there in September 2021. We look forward to welcoming even more travelers to join us in experiencing the ancient wonders of Egypt!”
More details about the new ship will be announced soon.
