The Chateau Lafayette Nile Cruise was built in 2006 and renovated in 2024. It measures 72 meters in length and features 61 cabins accommodating up to 114 guests. The ship also has 57 bathrooms, three Caterpillar engines, and a cruising speed of 12.5 knots.

The boat is equipped with life vests, emergency rafts, fire alarms, fire extinguishers, first aid kits, and emergency communication systems. The crew is also trained in first aid.

Guests can enjoy buffet-style Western and local dishes, including vegan and vegetarian options, as well as beer, wine, welcome cocktails, and snacks throughout the day. Special dietary requests for allergies or religious reasons can be added during booking.

The cabins feature French Juliet balconies, individual air conditioning, private bathrooms with bathtubs and showers, satellite TV (when docked), a minibar, a refrigerator, a telephone, a safety deposit box, a hairdryer, and complimentary Wi-Fi.

The cruise offers two accommodation options: Standard Cabins and Deluxe Suites, designed to provide comfortable stays with views of the Nile.

The main difference is their size. Standard Cabins measure 20 m², while Deluxe Suites offer more space at 35 m², along with panoramic Nile views. Both options include modern in-room amenities and a choice of twin or king-size beds.
