The new Mövenpick M/S Royal Lotus has been setting new standards since it began operations between Aswan and Luxor in November 2005.

Now the luxury Nile cruiser has just been awarded the accolade of 'The Best Nile Cruise Ship' by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism. The high-ranking award was presented in Cairo on 27 September 2006. The award was based on a number of key criteria such as the safety and comfort on board, the modern design, outstanding gastronomy, and first-class service combined with Swiss hospitality.

"We're very proud to have been honoured by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism with this prestigious award," says Hubert Klemenz, Vice President Operations Egypt Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts. "Our flagship has been widely praised for its comfort and the spacious layout of both the passenger cabins and the public areas."

"Over the past ten months the Mövenpick M/S Royal Lotus has been exceptionally well received by its guests," agrees Nagui Erian, Chairman of the owning company Nile Exploration Corporation. "On the strength of this resounding success we are planning to commission another Nile cruiser in 2007, the M/S Royal Lily. We are currently negotiating with Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts and hope that the international hotel chain will agree to take over the management of this vessel as well."

The Mövenpick M/S Royal Lotus is a floating luxury hotel with four decks. The 62 tastefully appointed and spacious cabins (22 sqm) offer every comfort and are located on the upper decks so guests on board are always guaranteed perfect views of the stunning landscape surrounding the Nile. For those in search of even more luxury, there are two Royal Suites (45 sqm) for the ultimate in comfort.

The main restaurant serves a variety of trademark Mövenpick buffets and menus with Egyptian and international specialities, to satisfy even the most discerning palate. The elegant Salon Deck with its panoramic windows comprises a lounge, bar and dance floor. The Sun Deck includes a swimming pool, whirlpool, pool bar and a canopied area. An internet corner and a fitness centre complement the on-board facilities.
