About S.S. Sphinx

S.S. Sphinx is an 84-guest Nile cruise ship, 236 feet (72 m) long, that made its debut on the river in 2021 under Uniworld's Super Ship banner. It has 42 suites, all with French balconies, along with two dining venues, a swimming pool, a spa room and a gym. Uniworld had the interiors made by local artisans using regional materials such as Egyptian cotton, marble and carved blond wood. Like River Tosca, it runs Uniworld's 12-day Splendors of Egypt & the Nile tour, cruising round trip from Luxor to Aswan between stays in Cairo. Uniworld notes that its amenities may differ from those on the ships the company owns.
