grand cruise offers you the elegance of Edwardian travel with turn of the century ambience, which is first experienced in the Lobby with its warm teak wood panelling, parquet floors, European antiques and Oriental carpets. Built on the paddle-wheeler concept,The Oberoi Philae has 58 cabins, including four suites, a lounge, a sophisticated bar and a first class restaurant. This deluxe Nile cruiser also boasts the most sophisticated water-filtration system and the latest navigational equipment on the Nile. Another important distinction is the Philae's use of private docks in Luxor and Aswan, which enable her to moor next to the shore - a definite plus on the busy waters of the Nile!
