Unlike massive river boats that carry up to 70 tightly packed standard cabins, the M/S Salima is designed as an all-suite premium boutique vessel. It holds just 25 expansive Junior Suites. This smaller footprint ensures fewer crowds in the main restaurant, a peaceful sun deck atmosphere, and highly attentive service from the crew. Furthermore, every single suite features two floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows rather than a single window, doubling your viewing layout of the riverbank scenery.

The cruise features wireless internet access on board, and access can be coordinated directly with the 24-hour reception desk on the main deck. Because the vessel navigates deep desert river canyons between Luxor and Aswan, satellite connectivity can occasionally fluctuate while sailing. Regarding billing, your full-board package covers your primary breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffets. Extra items like sodas, mixed cocktails, laundry service, or massage treatments are charged to your individual suite number and settled at check-out.

Yes. Under the experienced hospitality management of Sabena Hotels, the ship’s culinary team is highly trained in international food safety and preparation. The daily buffets and set menus consistently present a wide variety of Mediterranean, international, and traditional Egyptian dishes. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or specific medical dietary needs can easily be accommodated if you notify the restaurant manager or the reception desk during your initial embarkation check-in.
