Not verified as sailing  checked 12 Sep 2026

We have not confirmed that this vessel is currently in service. That is a statement about our checking, not a claim that it has stopped.

Unverified entry This vessel is in our record because AI assistants recommend it, not because we found it ourselves. We have not yet confirmed it matches its description.

Our view

high comfort

On paper this is a good boat, a 2023 build with 16 crew for 24 guests and a plunge pool. In practice you cannot currently buy it, because its only seller has no Egypt departures on sale and publishes no route or duration for it. The name question needs settling too, since the seller calls it Queen Isis II and nothing we found ties that to the boat in our list.

Who it suits

  • Travellers who want a recent hull with four suites and a plunge pool
  • French speaking guests, the only seller is a French operator
  • Groups of up to 24 who want a newer boat

Who it does not suit

  • Anyone who wants to book now, the seller currently publishes no Egypt departures at all for any vessel
  • Travellers who want to be sure which boat they are booking, the seller calls it Queen Isis II and we cannot establish whether that is the same hull as the Queen Isis in our record
  • Anyone who needs an itinerary, no route and no trip length is published for this vessel
  • Guests who want a price, none is published
  • Travellers who need a deck count, the seller's own page gives two readings that do not agree
Service style
2023 sailing boat for 24 guests with 16 crew and a plunge pool, reaching the market only through a French tour operator.
The cabin we would book
One of the four suites. Twelve cabins and four suites on a 55 metre hull makes the suites the scarce category and the only one described separately.
Nearest alternative: Abydos
Two dahabiyas sold into the market by a single French operator each. Abydos has published October 2026 departures and a clear itinerary. Queen Isis has a 2023 hull, a plunge pool, and a seller with no Egypt departures on sale. See its record →

What we could not establish

Every empty cell above has a reason. These are the reasons for this vessel, written down at the time the record was made, including the places where published sources contradict each other.

The site's record names this vessel Queen Isis. Rivages du Monde calls it Queen Isis II and dates its construction to 2023. Either the site's name is a short form of theirs, or there is an older Queen Isis that this newer vessel replaced. No source we read resolves this either way.

Rivages du Monde currently publishes zero Egypt departures. Their Egypte destination page returns no cruises for any vessel. This may mean they have dropped the Nile programme, or it may be a seasonal or technical gap. It does not by itself indicate a change in this vessel's operating status.

The operator recorded is Rivages du Monde, which is a French seller. No owner or Egyptian operator was identified, and the page carries no ownership information. The flag and registration were not found. No source we read gives them.

The deck count is unresolved. The spec block states that cabins are spread over two decks, while the same page separately names three decks: Pont Principal, Pont Supérieur and Pont Soleil. Those two readings give different numbers, and we did not find a source that settles the discrepancy.

Everything above comes from direct retrieval of Rivages du Monde pages.

Recorded 12 September 2026. If you can settle any of these, tell us and we will correct the record in public.
