Gaia balances the character of traditional Nile sailing with contemporary comfort. Its small guest count creates a relaxed atmosphere, while the upper-deck lounge, plunge pool, dining spaces and carefully designed rooms make the river itself part of every day.
Sixteen-square-metre cabins and twenty-square-metre suites accommodate up to two adults and one child, with Nile views and balcony options depending on deck.
Unwind beside the plunge pool, settle into a shaded lounge, or dine al fresco while the riverbanks drift past.
Gaia's concept emphasizes recyclable materials, reduced single-use plastics and a close connection to the Nile and local communities.
Cooking classes, high tea, sunset drinks, chamber music, candlelight island dinners and live entertainment enrich the sailing experience.
Explore Gaia's cabins, suites, dining spaces, panoramic decks, plunge pool and the moments that shape a journey along the Nile.
Choose a five-night cruise in either direction, or spend six nights sailing from Luxor to Aswan with an additional visit to Dendera.
