The Prime Itinerary & Sailing Route of Ms Sonesta Sun Goddess

Ms Sonesta Sun Goddess sails the iconic Luxor to Aswan route – a 4‑night or 3‑night journey (depending on direction) that showcases the most spectacular temples of Upper Egypt. Departing from Luxor, the cruise glides south along the Nile, with stops at the Temple of Edfu and the double temple of Kom Ombo before arriving in Aswan. The itinerary is carefully paced, with excursions scheduled in the cooler morning and late‑afternoon hours to maximize your comfort. For those preferring the reverse direction, Aswan to Luxor itineraries are also available. The ship’s relaxed speed allows ample time on the sun deck to watch rural Egyptian life unfold: farmers tending lush fields, water buffalo cooling in the shallows, and feluccas drifting silently. The cruise can be seamlessly combined with Egypt tour packages that include Cairo and the Red Sea. Bastet Travel can help you select the best departure date and suite category to match your preferences and schedule.
