Travelmarvel to sail new ship on Nile

APT Travel Group is to return to Nile cruising with a new ship for premium arm Travelmarvel. The 62-cabin Travelmarvel Sirius is set to sail on the Egyptian river from September 2026. The new ship marks the brand’s long-awaited return to the Nile after an absence of more than a decade.

Travelmarvel Sirius promises a personalised Nile cruising experience, with social spaces, a large pool and cabins reflecting the heritage and history of Nile cruising.

The vessel will sail from Luxor to visit sites, including Dendera, Kernak, Esna, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan. The seven-day itinerary includes a visit to the historic temples of Abu Simbel by private charter flight.

APT Luxury and Travelmarvel UK & Europe managing director Paul Melinis said: “Considering our ambitions for the Travelmarvel brand, it’s only right that we offer an experience on one of the most historically significant and longest river in the world. Just as the star it’s aptly named after, we are confident that Sirius will be a trailblazer for setting the standards of Nile Cruising, with Travelmarvel’s signature standards of service, personalisation and comfort at a competitive value.”
