Hilton and Middle East For Nile Cruisers have announced the signing of Waldorf Astoria Nile River Experience designed to bring Waldorf Astoria’s signature service to Africa’s longest and most renowned river.

Welcoming its first guests in late 2026, the experience will offer a four and six-night luxury escapes, traveling down-river from Luxor to Aswan or up-river from Aswan to Luxor.

Guests can take in the grandeur of temples in Luxor and Valley of the Kings along with cultural attractions in Esna, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan to explore Egypt’s rich history.

The Waldorf Astoria Nile River Experience will feature five decks and 29 suites with breathtaking views. Elevated amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center and a spa.

An array of thoughtfully curated and distinctive food and drink experiences such as Waldorf Astoria’s signature Peacock Alley, a brasserie serving Egyptian, Mediterranean and international cuisine, and a rooftop deck reflect the brand’s rich culinary mastery. In addition, guests will have dedicated concierges.

Dino Michael, senior vice president and global head, Hilton Luxury Brands, said in a statement, “Waldorf Astoria is in an incredible new era of luxury, creating unforgettable, immersive experiences in the most sought-after destinations.”

He added, “This year and beyond, the brand is set to define its global position with the anticipated opening of the legendary Waldorf Astoria New York, and debuting in destinations including the most recent openings in Osaka and Costa Rica, and into the future with Sydney, London, Jaipur and many more. This new destination experience offers guests a spectacular view of Egypt, and we look forward to welcoming guests aboard this one-of-a-kind experience when it launches next year.”
