AmaLilia Review

Review of AmaLilia

The 2024-built AmaWaterways AmaLilia ship cruises on the Nile River in Egypt, departing from the homeport of Luxor. The riverboat is Egypt-flagged with a maximum passenger capacity of 68, in addition to 62 staff and crew. The newbuild is currently under construction and scheduled for inauguration in the first half of 2024.

AmaLilia is AmaWaterways’ 26th fleet member, with a sistership—the 2021-built AmaDahlia. When the ship was officially announced on June 15, 2022, AmaWaterways cited growing demand for Nile River cruises as the reason for introducing a second vessel in Egypt.

The vessel features a modern design, floor-to-ceiling windows throughout all public areas and most staterooms, a spacious Sun Deck with a large swimming pool and two whirlpools, and is equipped with the latest maritime technologies. One passenger elevator and a centrally located staircase interconnect Decks 1 through 4. The Sun Deck is accessible by stairs only.
