Discover the Nile River the way it was meant to be sailed. The Mövenpick SB Hayah is a premium brand new boutique dahabiya carrying just 8 suite cabins between Luxor and Aswan, trading the scale of a river cruiser for something far more intimate—quiet decks, personalized service, and unhurried access to Egypt's ancient sites. Every detail carries the refined, understated luxury Mövenpick is known for, reimagined for life under sail.
Built as the identical sister ship to the Mövenpick SB Feddya, SB Hayah continues a tradition that traces back to the boats once used to transport Egyptian royalty—vessels immortalized on the tomb walls of the Pharaohs. Its shallow draft and compact size let it dock where larger cruisers can't, mooring at quieter, less-visited points along the river for a more authentic, crowd-free encounter with the Nile Valley.
Sailing between Luxor and Aswan, the SB Hayah's route threads through Esna, El Kab, Edfu, Gebel Silsila, and Kom Ombo—with the option to extend toward Abu Simbel in Nubia. Onboard, opulence meets tranquility: spacious suites, private balconies, attentive butler service, and fine dining set the tone for a Nile cruise defined as much by its calm as its history.
Sustainability
At SB Hayah, they believe true luxury goes hand in hand with responsibility. Sustainability is woven into every part of the onboard experience—refined hospitality paired with environmentally conscious practices at every turn.
From reducing single-use plastics to choosing eco-friendly guest amenities, every detail is chosen with care and respect for the natural beauty of the Nile.
The SB Hayah's onboard practices align with Nile Cruisers'™ Sustainable Travel Code of Conduct, reflecting our shared commitment to responsible tourism on every ship we feature.
Our goal is simple: to help preserve this extraordinary destination so every guest can enjoy a journey that's as responsible as it is unforgettable.
