Tui River Cruises adds second Nile ship

A second newly refurbished ship is to sail for Tui River Cruises on the River Nile in winter 2025. 

The 136-passenger Tui Bahareya is being introduced following strong demand for current Nile vessel Tui Al Horeya this winter.

It will be the latest ship in the operator’s overall river cruise fleet, joining five other adult-only vessels. 

Tui Bahareya will run two seven-night all-inclusive itineraries from Luxor with connecting flights from Gatwick and Manchester.

Tuesday departures will operate from November 4, 2025 until April 21, 2026.

A new ‘Ancient Gods and famous Pharaohs’ itinerary, with more daytime sailing, will start on the November 4.

The second, ‘Legends of the Nile’, sets off on December 2, 2025, with Tui Bahareya alternating the itineraries each month.

Two set excursions will be included within the sailing package price, with a cruise lead-in of £1,499 per person based on two adults sharing a superior French balcony cabin on an all-inclusive basis.

Head of Tui River Cruises Katy Berzins said: “This ship signifies our continued growth as a relatively new river cruise brand, and we are confident that given sales for our first Nile cruise, the launch of Tui Bahareya will go down really well with current and prospective customers.

“Tui Bahareya will offer a different culturally immersive experience onboard and will allow customers to get a taste of Egypt through its modern Arabic inspired décor, cuisine, activities and entertainment.”
