Cruise Interior:
The Sonesta Moon Goddess has a fresh yet classic design with bright airy cabins, modern en suite bathrooms and glorious Nile views from your balcony with large panoramic sliding windows for easy access.
Along with this is the added advantage of a small fitness room with a jogging track on the top deck also overlooking the Nile meaning you can workout and enjoy the views at the same time. After a workout, relax and enjoy the spacious sundeck with sun loungers, seating area and bar. The restaurant is stylishly laid out for guests to mingle and get to know each other with very attentive waiters and chefs ready to serve you at your table with drinks.
Fine Dining
The one comment always from the clients aboard the Sonesta Moon Goddess, is the amazing selection and tempting delights served in the Restaurant. With a huge range of buffet style foods at breakfast and lunch, with an evening sit down Al A Carte menu to tempt even the fussiest of eaters, it will guarantee a full stomach by the end of your holiday! Chefs are willing and happy to oblige those clients with special dietary needs such as wheat or nut allergies and there are plenty of options already available for vegetarians.
In Room Dining
There is always an option for in room dining in your cabin if you require it, for all meal periods. Just contact Reception prior to the meal time required (throughout the day from breakfast to evening dinner) to ensure your order. If it is the Al A Carte menu, the waiters will inform you of the menu for that evening.
Lounge and Bar
The Sonesta Moon Goddess Lounge and Bar is set in a stylish surrounds with gentle lighting for a more relaxed feel During the day, you have the option if required to take a light lunch in the lounge and bar area with snacks served also in the evening.
‘Little Extras’
A real treat is in store for the unsuspecting guests for certain celebratory occasions. If you are celebrating an anniversary or birthday, please inform Reception on checking in. They will organise a surprise for you during your evening meal in the restaurant on the day which is a very nice memory to take home with you so cameras at the ready! Often, housekeeping lay on certain towel displays in your cabin, so do not be surprised if you walk in to see a crocodile on your bed (not real of course!). At Christmas and New Year, the Nile Cruise Boats come to life for the festive season with decorations, special creative displays by the Chefs, festive Menus and parties on board for Christmas and New Years Eve to add to your Egyptian experience.
Sun Deck Bar
Your Sonesta Moon Goddess sun deck Bar is open throughout the day allowing you to order a range of drinks from the bar with waiter service whilst you relax soaking up the sun and Nile views. It will be open until sunset, therefore the chance to sip cocktails while watching the sun go down over the beautiful Nile.
Afternoon Tea
Every day whilst sailing, at around 4pm every afternoon, you will be served a typical English style afternoon tea on the sundeck. Ranging from tea, coffee, cakes and sandwiches, it is very reminiscent of the days of Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot whilst sailing the Nile. A real treat.
On board Entertainment
A nile cruise would not be a cruise if it did not provide on board entertainment for the clients as it adds to your wonderful Egyptian holiday experience. The Sonesta Moon Goddess along with all of the Sonesta cruises, provides a fun filled programme of events in the lounge and bar every evening. Ranging from a local Belly Dancer, to Nubian Folklore music and dancers, disco, and the very popular Galabaya Party, where you get the chance to dress up in traditional Egyptian costumes and have an evening of games, music, and fun along with your Tour Guide! Costumes are available from the on board shop and the nice thing is you get to keep it to take home as a memory and fancy dress parties.
