M.S. Mayflower Nile River Cruise

M.S. Mayflower represents the amalgamation of Mayfair Cruises’ decade of operating river cruise ships on the Nile. With its hull being almost identical to Esplanade’s and the spirit of its design inheriting Mayfair’s own, Mayflower offers the perfect fusion between the former’s modern accents and the latter’s timeless classic design.

The Tale

A graceful meld of Egypt’s colonial past and modern future.

M.S. Mayflower articulates through the design elements that permeate the ship’s interior, the unique history of Khedive Egypt. A singular time in Egypt’s modern history, The Khedivate of Egypt symbolized the struggle against colonialism and the desire to forge a modern Egyptian identity. Blending Ottoman design elements common at the time with modern luxury amenities, the well-appointed 18 suites and 38 cabins onboard Mayflower offer the quintessential luxury experience on the Nile.
